About Dr. Olivia Martinez Zaretsky, LAc., DAc., Dipl. Ac.
Healing Begins with Listening to What Your Body Is Trying to Tell You.
Before Dr. Olivia ever placed an acupuncture needle, she was sitting on the floor with children.
As an ABA therapist, she learned to recognize what children couldn't always express in words. She learned to observe, listen, and understand that no two people respond the same way.
That experience shaped the way she approaches healing today.
The body is always communicating. We just need to learn how to listen.
Fascinated by the connection between the nervous system, hormones, digestion, and emotional well-being, Dr. Olivia was drawn to Chinese medicine and its ability to look beyond symptoms to understand the bigger picture.
She earned her Doctorate in Acupuncture with a specialization in Integrative Medicine, combining the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern clinical insight.
Today, Dr. Olivia embraces the philosophy at the heart of Washington Heights Wellness: Don't just ask where it hurts. Ask why the body is struggling in the first place.
Her approach brings together acupuncture, Chinese medicine, functional medicine principles, Chinese herbal medicine, and Eastern and Western nutrition to support the whole person, not just individual symptoms.
What makes her care special is her compassion, patience, and genuine desire to understand each patient's unique story. She believes healing is never one-size-fits-all and that patients deserve to feel heard, understood, and empowered.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Olivia enjoys Pilates, reading, skincare, hiking, and spending time at the beach. She believes that caring for ourselves is something we practice every day.
Her mission is simple: to help you understand your body, restore balance, and build a foundation for lasting health.
Dr. Olivia welcomes patients of all ages and is accepting new patients at Washington Heights Wellness.
