If there’s one thing I’ve learned in this business, it’s that there’s nothing like a true expert. They save precious time and add refinement to everything they touch. Plus, you can always count on them. That’s why I’ve decided to share as many tips as possible from my favorite pros in the field. Ranging from the best in photography, planning, design and more, the talents below will give you a running start and enviable polish in whatever you’re setting out to do. I’ve worked with everyone on this list, so I can attest to these professionals’ talent and superior work. In fact, most have been in the business for more than five years – experience that’s priceless.
MARGARET RUBIN
Margaret Rubin, D.C., LAc., is a chiropractor and licensed acupuncturist. She began her training as an undergraduate in experimental psychology at Duke University when she became interested in mind–body medicine. She received her Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 1986 and a Master of Science in Acupuncture in 2009. She is a certified yoga teacher and has studied meditation on many long journeys to India and Asia. She maintains a private practice in Manhattan that focuses on the physical and spiritual well-being of each individual.
“I have been a patient of Dr. Rubin ever since I moved to NYC. She has been a calming and healing force in my life. Not only is she medically trained, but she offers wise advice on health and wellness to all of her clients. I find this essential, especially for us crazy-busy, stressed-out New Yorkers. If you suffer from chronic back pain – or really anything that’s ailing you – Dr. Rubin is your go-to. With degrees in both chiropractic and acupuncture care, Margaret is always a pleasure to work with – plus she’s the kindest spirit around. An added perk: stepping into her zen office is like being transported to Thailand for a session of wellness – okay, sans the turquoise waters.” - CECI JOHNSON
