Member Spotlight: Staying in Balance Acupuncture 

 

 

Bonnie Diamond is the owner of Staying in Balance Acupuncture, located at 159 Main Street, Easthampton. She also offers sessions at the Somatic Center at Atkinson Family Practice in Amherst.

 

Acupuncture has been successful in treating a wide variety of illnesses and conditions, such as pain, addiction, depression, stress, women's issues, and respiratory, digestive and cardiovascular problems.

 

When people come to Staying in Balance, Bonnie treats the person rather than the illness.  This means that patients get a treatment uniquely designed for them. Bonnie looks at each patient as a whole person, with his or her own health history and symptoms.  Treatments are designed to address their symptoms and heal old injuries that may be interfering with their body's ability to heal itself.

 

View this video to meet Bonnie, see her office, and learn more about her practice.

 

 

  

Bonnie received her master's degree in acupuncture from the New England School of Acupuncture in 1998 and her Mass. license in 1999. You can read Bonnie's full list of qualifications and training here.

Board Spotlight: Meet Annmary Boruchowski

  

NAME: Annmary Boruchowski

   

JOB TITLE, COMPANY: Owner/designer, Dandelions Florist, Easthampton  
  

YEARS WITH CHAMBER AND POSITIONS HELD.  Chamber member since 2007; Board Member for 5 years.

  

YEAR YOUR BUSINESS STARTED: 1995

  

WHAT YOU DO: I am a full-service florist in all aspects of the industry, from the simplest arrangements to major events like weddings and funerals. I also design high-end silk specialty arrangements for home and office décor. I take pride in offering a personalized service; I'll travel to a client's home for event consultation and sympathy work, and I use only the best florals, imported from around the world.

  

BACKGROUND: I've been in the florist business since 1981. I graduated from the UMass Amherst Stockbridge School of Agriculture with a degree in floriculture.After many years of appearing in Design Panels and managing a busy flower shop, I established Dandelions in September 1995. My primary focus is to be a "Personal Florist," specializing in all aspects of floral design.

  

SOMETHING THAT OTHERS MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU: I have a very adventurous side-I love the outdoors and travel, and I'm not afraid to go "off the beaten path." I love parasailing, and one of my favorite places to travel to was Turkey, last year.
