Hi! My name is Christy Giroux and I welcome you to Balance Acupuncture & Wellness. As a child I loved to be outdoors and was constantly active with sports, dance and play. This has carried through adulthood and after graduating from Ithaca College with my degree in exercise science I spent 20+ years in the fitness & health industry. Most recently my husband and I owned a fitness studio in Gaithersburg, MD called Prime Fitness. There we created a community of amazing people who sought results, worked hard, created healthy habits and an active lifestyle. After the pandemic, I realized I wanted to stay in the health field, but wanted more. I enrolled at Maryland University of Integrative Health in 2021 and after three years I earned my Master of Acupuncture degree and became licensed in the state of Maryland. I have a strong desire to help others reach their full potential. Through the art of Chinese Medicine practices I have found a way to help with body, mind, and spirit level issues.
