Acupuncture

Our bodies are in a state of constant change. They shift in response to the seasons, the balance of night and day, the food we eat, and countless other factors. Health is not a fixed destination. It is a state of dynamic balance. Acupuncture is one tool I use to help patients address the root causes of imbalance, and experience greater health.

Acupuncture uses thin, sterile needles to move qi and blood in the body. It’s widely known for its remarkable ability to treat pain. It can also be profoundly helpful in the treatment of digestive, allergic, auto-immune, mental-emotional, and sleep disharmonies. How can one technique help with so many kinds of problems? Because it treats the whole person, not just the disease state. It supports the body’s natural healing processes, and helps the body to shift from patterns of tension and stasis to patterns of free and harmonious movement. 

After our Initial Intake, in-person treatments will primarily consist of acupuncture. They may also include other supportive techniques from Traditional Chinese Medicine, like cupping, moxibustion, gua sha or Tui Na, as needed. If an herbal formula is indicated, I will recommend one. Herbs sold separately.

My current availability is limited to home visits in the NYC area and on Long Island, or Telehealth consults.

New Patient Home Visits- 90 minutes

The base rate* for a New Patient Home Visit is $350.

Established Patient Home Visits- 60 minutes

The base rate* for an Established Patient Home Visit is $290

*The base rate assumes between 3-4 hours of total travel time for me, and covers much of NYC and Long Island. If your location falls outside this range, I will indicate that and give you an adjusted rate.

Note: One feature of my practice that is a rare offering is that I work with a practitioner of Chinese BaZi astrology to understand each patient’s unique constitution and create treatment plans that move with the seasons. This information adds a layer of depth that is so vital that I urge patients, especially those who are seeking help with a chronic condition, to opt for adding the cost of generating a chart to their Initial Intake [a one-time $75 fee]. For some patients, this is more essential than for others. If you have questions about whether or not this may be helpful for you, please inquire.
