Revital Peremen, MSOM, L.Ac

Acupuncture | Oriental Medicine | Pediatric Acutherapy | Thai Bodywork

Revital provides a unique style of healthcare and offers a comprehensive set of services for improving physical, mental or spiritual health.

Prior to discovering her interest in integrative holistic medicine, Revital arrived in Chicago in 1995 to pursue a graduate degree in Sociology at the University of Illinois and worked a number of years in medical marketing research. Shifting gears and studies, she first became a certified Asian Body Therapist in 2005, and then in 2008, a licensed and board-certified Acupuncturist. 

In complement to acupuncture, Revital specializes in Tui-na (Chinese medical massage), with additional training in Pediatric Tui-na. This style of massage influences the body's energetic flow and circulation in the same way as acupuncture by using massage and manual techniques instead of needles to activate acupoints. She is also a practitioner of Thai bodywork, known as Thai Yoga Massage, having studied this modality in both Chicago and Chiang Mai, Thailand.

As an elementary school teacher for many years, Revital enjoys and is accustomed to working with youngsters of all ages. When visiting the clinic with your child, you will learn tools and techniques to use at home; equipping parents to heal and maintain their children's health is a cornerstone of Revital's pediatric practice.
