Over the past three decades, Dr. Gold has enhanced her patients’ access to integrative medicine by developing and expanding her skills in osteopathic manipulation, hypnotherapy, Reiki, medical acupuncture, aromatherapy, mindfulness, Iyengar yoga, Ayuverdic Medicine and Transcendental Meditation. She is board certified by American Board of Medical Acupuncture since 2014. She completed a Doctorate in Medical Qi Gong in January 2017. She is a Reiki Master since 2008. She has been gradually expanding the use of integrative health care modalities in the school based health centers (SBHCs) at the New York Presbyterian Hospital by adding aromatherapy, acupressure, mindfulness and self-hypnosis to the range of services offered by the SBHC staff. She completed the Foundations in Integrative Health Course, a 45-hour online course sponsored by the University of Arizona College of Integrative Medicine and the National Center for Integrative Primary Healthcare (NCIPH).
