Dr. Lily Yu Gillespie

LAc, DAOM

Lily is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, a licensed and board-certified acupuncturist and clinical herbalist. She was born and raised in Taiwan until she immigrated to the United States to pursue a career in dance.

Lily received a BA in Dance Education from East Carolina University and an MFA in Dance Choreography from the University of North Carolina. She performed with Kun Yang Lin and Dancers and taught at Scilla Dance Studio in New York for over 15 years. Through dance, Lily gained an intimate perspective of the biomechanics of the human body and pivoted her focus to study the human body through a scientific lens.

When Lily returned to school for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, she returned to her roots. Growing up with her family, consuming herbal dishes were part of everyday life. Studying Traditional Chinese Medicine helped her gain a deeper understanding of how the human body functions biomechanically, emotionally, and spiritually as a whole.

Lily specializes in women's health, fertility, and postpartum care. She and her husband have a private practice in New York City and are raising three beautiful children in Princeton, New Jersey.
