Anaya Palay
Licensed Acupuncturist

Anaya is Nationally Board Certified in Acupuncture and has her Masters degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from the Midwest College of Oriental Medicine. She is currently pursuing a Clinical Doctorate in Chinese Medicine. Anaya grew up in a family of physicians and always knew she would devote her life to the health of others. Her primary interests are women’s and children’s health and dermatology. She appreciates the way Chinese Medicine looks at the body-mind complex fundamentally different from the way Western Medicine does.  This allows her to work with her patients in a holistic manner, which is what attracted her to Antares Institute of Integrative Health.
