Rose Taffner
Administrative Assistant
Rose Taffner grew up in the Plattsburgh area. She was raised with a sense of awareness for the body, and her mother instilled in her the importance of holistic nutrition by supplementing her and her siblings’ diets with natural foods from local sources. Her parents took a holistic approach to overall wellness, focusing on the body’s innate ability to heal and the importance of giving it space to do so. Her parents took her and her siblings to their chiropractor regularly growing up. Rose has lived in other parts of the country but specifically returned due to the abundant sense of community and connection to nature that is found here in Plattsburgh. She took an interest in Ayurveda (holistic Indian Medicine) about 6 years ago and has recently discovered the wonders of TCM, which shares many similarities. These foundations of wisdom have helped her to find a sense of meaning in her own healing journey and encourage her to share her successes in these modalities with others. She has experience working at local community centers, such as the Strand, which allowed her to connect with children and others, offering guidance and companionship. Rose studied at Clinton Community College to learn more about practical business administration and field practices to better equip her in her professional life. She is excited to join Avenue Acupuncture as an Administrative Assistant and help contribute to the wellness of others. In her free time, she enjoys Yoga, making music, being outdoors and visiting with her animals and loved ones.
