She is a phenomenal project manager and very knowledgeable about the law firm marketing space. She also does coaching and workshops around business writing—a must have for managers. Health & Wellness: Bill Costigan, Licensed Acupuncturist (NYS) and a nationally certified Diplomate in Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) www.balancecenteracupuncture.com (Westchester) Yes, Bill is my brother. Loyalty to my one and only sibling aside, I could not ethically recommend anyone to stick needles in my clients or friends that I did not think was at the absolute top of his/her game. If anyone would have told me when I was a kid that one day I would actively guilt my younger brother into sticking needles in me and lighting fire alarmingly close to my skin, I would have laughed them right out of the sandbox. His work is nothing short of miraculous. Nyssa Tang: Licensed Acupuncturist and Board Certified Herbalist: nyssatang@gmail.com (NYC). If you have not tried acupuncture, it is a must for your to-do list. Similar to my personal connection to the acupuncturist above, Nyssa is a close personal friend and fellow karateka. She re-aligns my chi, keeps my immune system protected and puts me in what I affectionately call the “acu-zone”—an almost inexplicable state of calm and balance. Jamie J. Spannhake, JD, Certified Holistic Health Counselor: www.TheNourishingBalance.com Jamie and I collaborate on time management and stress management work. Even though our MBTI personality types are exactly opposite on all four letters, we are like professional interest soulmates. I’m honored to say that she is also my holistic health counselor. Her guidance has had a major impact on how I approach my health. If you’re interested in implementing more healthful practices in your life, call Jamie stat.
