She later enrolled in graduate study at Cornell University with a special focus on Nutritional Biochemistry. In 1985 she became certified in therapeutic massage at Twin Lakes College of the Healing Arts, in Santa Cruz, California, and while studying acupuncture, worked in molecular biology research at the University of California. Her curricular studies in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine took place through Five Branches Institute in Santa Cruz and The San Francisco College of Acupuncture, and in 1991 she completed a state-approved clinical apprenticeship with Dr. Robert Zeiger in Berkeley. After maintaining a California-based practice for 11 years, she relocated to New York and attended Tri-State College of Acupuncture in order to obtain state licensure. While attending Tri-State, Janet had the opportunity to study Acupuncture Physical Therapy and Trigger Point Release with Dr. Mark Seem, and Japanese Acupuncture techniques with world-renowned instructor Kiiko Matsumoto. She continues to draw from their work and utilize their methods in her practice today.

Heidi Botnick, M.S., L.Ac., is a NCCAOM certified acupuncturist licensed in the state of New York.  She graduated with honors from the Tri-State College of Acupuncture (TSCA), one of the oldest acupuncture schools in the United States.  At TSCA, she was trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), as well as Acupuncture Physical Medicine (APM), which includes a myofascial trigger point release approach, and Kiiko Matsumoto, a Japanese style based upon classical Chinese and Japanese acupuncture and western biomedical concepts.  In addition, Heidi had the opportunity while at TSCA to study under several highly recognized practitioners and master practitioners including Mark Seem, Kiiko Matsumoto, and Eric Stephens.  Her training also includes an intensive study abroad program in Beijing, China in August 2005 where she attended daily acupuncture rounds at several hospitals as well as daily afternoon lectures. 

In addition to practicing acupuncture, Heidi is also in the certification program for Zero Balancing, a form of bodywork that works with the structure and energy of a person, founded by Dr. Fritz Smith, Osteopath and Acupuncturist.  Zero balancing is a great adjunct to acupuncture or a wonderful modality offered on its own.
