A dynamic speaker and authority on Chinese medicine and natural self-treatments, Abby has appeared on television and in newspaper articles, and has taught many shiatsu massage classes and Chinese medicine workshops in and around Boston.
Abby's goal is to help her patients become healthy, pain-free and educated about natural and non-toxic methods for attaining and maintaining their health. She makes sure that all her patients are given a thorough explanation of their condition and a full tool-kit of individualized lifestyle recommendations to support their health and well-being.

Newton, Massachusetts acupuncturist/acupressurist Abby Kessler appeared recently on the NewTV show "Sunny Side of the Street". During the show, hosted by Newton psychologist Tod Gross, Ms. Kessler demystifies Eastern terms such as "yin", "yang" and "qi" and describes the techniques she uses as she demonstrates on a patient. "I wanted viewers to see what occurs during a treatment how I assess a patient's condition, and determine and execute a treatment strategy."
Ms. Kessler explained during the show, subtitled "Healing with Chinese Medicine," that, "although one-third of the world's population uses acupuncture and Chinese medicine as their primary healthcare system, many people in the U.S. believe acupuncture only treats the nervous system and relieves pain. However, acupuncture is actually the skilled manipulation of electro-magnetic currents that flow throughout the body. It signals the cells to regenerate and repair, and stimulates the endocrine, immune, digestive, circulatory, musculo-skeletal and other systems to promote healing."
