Bio

Dr. Susan Knight, D.Ac., L.Ac., MBA is a licensed acupuncturist who holds a Clinical Doctorate in Acupuncture. She has a private practice in Greenwich, CT where she treats a wide variety of symptoms, with a specialty in women’s health (including infertility), mental health including stress management, insomnia and anxiety. She seeks to energize and empower her patients, and she loves to practice the gentle needling style of Japanese acupuncture. Susan is an NCCAOM Diplomat and has advanced training in bio-field medicine and ELDOA (specialized exercises performed to create space at each level of the spine). She uses various Chinese and Japanese traditional techniques such as acupuncture, cupping, scraping (Guasha), Tui-na (Chinese style massage), acupressure, moxibustion (burning herbs), and Japanese Ion pumping cords.

Susan grew up in Connecticut and attended Colby College where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Comparative World Religions. After several years in book publishing, Susan attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where she earned her Masters in Business Administration. As a senior branding consultant for brands such as VH1 and Kellogg's, Susan learned the importance of listening to feedback from customers. A dedication for community activism led Susan to participate on a non-profit board for substance–abuse treatment programs and as an organizer of literacy programs for under-served youth. While focusing on her family, Susan had a transformational experience receiving acupuncture for a shoulder injury and a passion was born. She returned to school for her Masters of Science in Acupuncture at the University of Bridgeport and after opening an Old Greenwich office, Susan completed her Clinical Doctorate at Pacific College of Health Sciences. Dr. Susan Knight, D.Ac. lives in Old Greenwich with her husband and three children. Books, meditation, music, learning from women friends, and hikes in the woods with her Bernedoodle sustain her.
