Trained at one of the very finest Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine institutes in the world, we specialize in diagnostics. We believe that the foundation of excellence in Chinese Medicine lies in identifying exactly why a certain condition is manifesting in your body at this particular moment. To this end, we have studied with some of the best Chinese medicine diagnosticians in the world to learn how to read your channels and understand what your body needs. Whether that is a simple tune up of your acupuncture channels, moxibustion, core synchronism, specific stretches, microcurrent, or Chinese herbs, it will be included in your treatment.

We had the great fortune of attending acupuncture school at the Seattle Institute of East Asian Medicine. This small institute is unique in its selectivity of both applicants and teachers. As an extremely rigorous apprenticeship-style school, SIEAM is considered by many to be the best acupuncture school in the world. While there, we had the privilege of learning from some of the leaders in the field of Chinese Medicine such as Dan Bensky, DO, Craig Mitchell, PhD., and Steven Brown, L.Ac.

I couldn't have had a better experience here. I have had weekly acupuncture treatments over the last 10 years at many health centers in New York City- and none of them can compete with the incredibly thoughtful and thorough treatment I received here. Not only did I feel immediate relief from my migraines, but I also enjoyed the treatment itself as a relaxing and meditative experience. This center is a wonderful addition to the community! I have had weekly acupuncture treatments over the last 10 years at many health centers in New York City- and none of them can compete with the incredibly thoughtful and thorough treatment I received here.

They will meet and exceed your acupuncture needs! Sarah was able to effectively address several issues I was having, but she especially helped with my chronic pain issues. I experienced exceptional pain relief under her care. I am forever grateful for her knowledge, professionalism, and her caring and compassionate spirit! Becoming a client, under her care, was one of the best decisions I've ever made!

I have to say that both Sarah and Kevin have provided excellent treatments for me. I have had many issues that they have dealt with. I have CFS and Fibromyalgia which is my main reason for seeking their help. But I also have had other issues including insomnia, joint pain, stomach issues and nervous system problems. I have been amazed at the results I have gotten. Kevin & Sarah are so accurate on how they determine what is needed to help you.

I cannot thank you enough. You and acupuncture are healers. When I think of all of the medicines I have tried (and their side effects) that didn't work and how soon I felt relief with you, I would have tried acupuncture sooner. Wow!
