Aiesha is the best acupuncturist in NYC. I consider her my secret weapon for optimal health. If you're lucky enough to get a session with her, she will assist you in releasing a tremendous amount of stress and get to the root causes of dis-ease in the body. I've worked with her for years, and I've sent numerous friends her way. She is the person to see when you're in excruciating pain, unexplainable discomfort, and/or just feel off. Through acupuncture, she will help you find balance in this chaotic city. She is a healer's healer. read more

Aiesha is an incredible acupuncturist and healer! I am always truly so amazed at how much better I feel after seeing her. She has helped me get through multiple issues like TMJ, migraines and gut issues. Aiesha always takes the time to chat and assess what's going on... you never feel rushed with her, and she always listens and makes you feel heard. She is so welcoming, smart, talented (and funny!) I have seen other acupuncturists over the years, but none of them have given me results like Aiesha. I'm so happy I've found her, it's always a pleasure being her client :) Highly recommend!!! read more

Aiesha is absolutely amazing! She has helped me through gut issues and continues to help me as I heal. I have had a bad bacteria in my gut for a long time and her combination of supplements and herbs did the trick. I was shocked by how much better I felt after just a couple of weeks. Even when I had a slight relapse she came through and helped me figure out what the problem was and got me right back on track. I work with her virtually but feel like I'm in person because of how available she is and how much she cares. I can't recommend her enough. Hurry up and make your appointment! read more

Amazing human being who is knowledgeable and encouraging. I went to Aiesha for back pain that had prevented me from exercising over 4 weeks. That evening and following days after, my back feels the best it's felt in over a month. I have been cleared for light exercise and I feel myself coming back to life. I'm not completely out of the woods yet, but with heating pads, rolling, responsible exercise, tiger balm and maybe one more acupuncture session, I am well on my way to 100%. I'm super grateful to have Aiesha to help me through this immediate health challenge and become my long term health partner in the process. read more

Dr. Aiesha Abel, isn't your typical acupuncturist, she surely loves what she does and it's incredibly determined to help you out with all roots of your problems. Wether they are migraines and even sinus infections. She's very professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend her to anyone, even if you are just looking to get rid of a cold. Enjoy! read more

I've never really been interested in getting acupuncture... something about needles all over my body just didn't sound appealing. But then one of my closest friends finished her license and asked if she could treat me. I'm not one to NOT be open to new experiences... and so, I agreed... needles and all. As I mentioned, this is a friend of mine. But of course, in the acupuncturist-client relationship, things are a little different. After all, she's got needles! No seriously, Aiesha was amazing - and really, very professional. She was comforting in telling me exactly what she was going to do (that's big with me, with all of my "doctors" - I need to know what they are doing) and how I was going to feel. I was a little bit more sensitive than some other clients, so she just switched to a smaller needle. The whole time, also educating me with which chi/points each body part was associated with and the connections that were being made as my pathways were clearing up. I will have to say the session was really amazing. Once all the needles are in, you stay for 20 minutes - just laying there. The ambience Aiesha creates is wonderful - beautiful, relaxing music and a really cozy space to let your thoughts go wherever they are meant to go. For me, acupuncture is really spiritual. It took me to a place where I was able to feel from the inside out, rather than the outside in. Quite beautiful... and actually, really hard to fully describe in words. I know everyone has a different reaction... and I know there are all different reasons why people go - my treatment was for focus and balance. But, it's proven to help in so many other areas of life. I say, give it a shot if you're curious. It's worth the experience... and Aiesha is really wonderful, not only as a friend, but seriously - as an acupuncturist. Her fees are low too - $80/session. You won't get such professionalism and skill for that price. read more

Aiesha is phenomenal to work with in every way. I initially contacted her to work on chronic stomach pain, but have since gone to her for severe colds, headaches, and back pain. Aiesha is incredibly warm and energetic, which makes it a pleasure to go in for treatment, even when you are not feeling well. Her demeanor makes it easier to discuss all of your symptoms. Aiesha is an excellent listener and will ask many follow-up questions to ensure that she is on the right track for your treatment. Every visit has been perfectly tailored to what is currently going on in my body, but she has an excellent recall of what has been worked on in the past. She takes diligent notes during every visit. Most importantly, her treatments work. Every issue that I have come to her with has improved consistently, or in the case of headaches and back aches, ceased immediately following acupuncture. In addition to acupuncture, Aiesha uses herbs, oils, and nutritional counseling for a more comprehensive approach to symptoms if necessary. I highly recommend seeing Aiesha if you are even remotely considering acupuncture. She is a wonderful person and acupuncturist!! read more

I visited Aiesha about 20 times over the course of a year. I've been very stubborn when it comes to getting treated for various ailments but I had some muscle issues in my back that had made life unbearable. I had pain stemming from the bottom of my skull all the way down to the lower middle of my back. The pain was on both sides and at times I couldn't move my neck or arms. I was very skeptical of getting treated but having tried most everything else and see no results I finally gave in to a friends advice and tried acupuncture. I found Aiesha on Yelp and on my first visit she listened intently to what I had to say. After an hour or so of her sticking me with needles it was over and I must say it was the first time I felt any type of release. In my experience it was amazing how it offered immediate release for the pain I was in but also the repeated use made the entire injury seem to subside. I am now a fan of acupuncture and would/have recommend Aiesha to anyone wanting to give it a try. read more

I came to Aiesha several months ago discouraged about a bulging disc in my neck and supertight shoulders. I'd been through the ringer of physical therapists, orthopedists and chiropractors, only experiencing temporary relief for short bursts of time. Within one session, Aiesha lowered my shoulders and decreased pain and stiffness by at least 50%. She is a true professional, investigating the root of any and all ailments and gives knowledgeable advice. On top of that, she is one of the warmest people I've met in NYC limits, offering talk therapy during your treatment that many would happily pay for. I can't recommend her enough. read more

Aiesha is an actual healer. Grounded, smart intuitive, lovely and lively. She takes the time to figure out what's actually going on with you. Helped me with NYC stress, digestion and back troubles, and, ehem, perimenoupause symptoms. read more

I was on day 6 of a really rough streak of migraines. Out of desperation I began to look for treatment alternatives to the cocktail of medications I had been taking, and I came across acupuncture. Aiesha was very highly recommended on yelp, so I called her at 4 pm and told her about my migraine saga. She saw me THAT NIGHT at 9 pm! I'm so thankful she did. As a first timer to acupuncture , I was a bit nervous. But Aiesha was incredible! So caring and so passionate about what she does. Her office is peaceful and the smell of lavender and peppermint perfusing the space puts you at ease almost immediately. Aiesha was very professional and she really made me feel at ease- I wish I had come to her sooner! Today (next day) I FINALLY don't have a pounding migraine, and I have her to thank for that. I will definitely be returning, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. read more

My husband has been seeing Aiesha for years, but I am just now affording myself the pleasure of letting her stick needles into my body. I honestly cannot figure out why I waited so long. Aiesha is amazing. Warm and passionate about what she does. She listens and is insightful without prying or being pushy. She truly makes you feel like you are her one and only client. She has treated me for stress, stomach issues and neck pain, all with amazing results. Even my husband, a "Western medicine" kind of guy, acknowledges that she is incredible at what she does, which in his case was curing debilitating back pain that even the "most knowledgeable back doctors in NY" couldn't relieve. I recommend her without reservation for whatever ails you. She is extremely flexible and offers plenty of appointment times after general work hours. read more

Very intuitive and each session is tailored to my specific needs, and the bonus is she uses aromatherapy while I float :) She is a go to for acupuncture in the city ! I always leave feeling lighter and grounded. Also, I went to her when I was suffering with low back pain and she helped alleviate the pain. Her office is tranquil, simple, zen, and upon entering I go to me 'happy place' :) read more

This was my first time trying accupuncture. Aisha is warm, professional & put me at ease immediately. She is very thorough explains the whole procedures well . I highly recommend seeing her read more

I cannot say enough good things about Aiesha. I started seeing her at the beginning of this year. I had MONO in September 2017 and it destroyed my immune system. I would get sick every 4-6 weeks for several months, and there was nothing traditional doctors could do to help me. Aiesha helped restore my health when it seemed like no one else could. I also have fibromyalgia and she has treated me for that as well. Aiesha is patient, compassionate, knowledgeable, and all around an incredible person. I am forever grateful for all she done to help me, and being one of her patients is truly a privilege. read more

I can't say enough great stuff about Aiesha and her acupuncture practice. She is patient, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and a wonderful healer. I've been going there for the last year due to systemic immune system issues and I've had great results. Her new space is relaxing and beautiful and I love how well she listens to my body/my concerns. If you're considering acupuncture for any reason at all this is the place! read more

I should premise this post by saying that I am extremely picky and have particularly high expectations for my healthcare providers. I've been going to Aiesha for over one year for neck//back as well as elbow pain. Her amazing knowledge base and unsurpassable quality of service really puts her on a level of her own. Without getting too deep into my specific case, I would strongly recommend Aiesha for the following reasons: -First and foremost, she is an amazing acupuncturist. She brought my back/neck pain from a level 8/10 (almost unbearable) to pain-free! -One of the most genuine and caring people I have ever met. This point is even more important if you have been treated by other top-tier acupuncturists or chiropractors. With Aiesha, you never need to deal with any pretention or arrogance. She is the modest consumate professional. -Reasonably priced, superior service. -She lets you make and confirm reservations via text message. This is big. -Beautiful office with spacious and luxurious acupuncture tables. Honestly couldn't give her higher marks! read more

I came to her with many issues and she made me feel so much better after many doctors hit walls with my case.

The saddest part about leaving NY was losing Aiesha as my Accupuncturist. I've attended sessions with other practitioners but Aiesha knocks it out of the park. I really love how much time she spends understanding your health history and overall condition. She deeply understands the mind body connection. I find her approach exemplary and unique. Also, my condition improved a great deal in a short span of time. I hope to book a session whenever I'm back in town. read more

I came to see Aiesha when I had a severely stiff neck. She fit me in her schedule and I am SO glad she did. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable and did a thorough walk through with me of my medical history, but she was extremely gentle and explained everything very clearly to me as I had never had acupuncture before. Beyond the acupuncture she also took the time to talk to me about nutritional information that could help my food allergies which I greatly appreciated. I left feeling amazing and I am so thankful that I found her. It is evident she loves her work and she's just a caring person all around. She made me feel so much better and I look forward to visiting her in the future. read more

Five stars for being awesome. I contacted Aiesha to see if I could schedule an appointment. She was very responsive, patient and transparent regarding her pricing (all while responding to my voicemail on her day off). Unfortunately, she didn't have any open time slots that worked for me given her pretty packed schedule (which itself could be considered an endorsement of her ability). read more

Aiesha is the best! In any category! She is sweet, she is attentive, and best of all she is super knowledgeable about her field and it shows in the way she works. I recommend her to anyone looking into their first adventure into acupuncture. I was weary at first but she made me feel comfortable and relaxed from the start. I feel incredible EVERY time I leave her office and she is the ONLY acupuncturist I will recommend wholeheartedly. She is gifted and loves what she does, and it radiates through her incredible personality. I've been going for close to 6 months but feel like her and I have known each other for years. Its all about personal service, and she is the absolute best when it comes to that! read more

Incredible! A savior! I was stressed at work to the point that I had excruciating pain in my shoulders and could not move my neck. I did research and found Aiesha. The first session made a world of a difference and now I'm hooked. Aiesha is kind and has a gentle touch, her office is clean, refreshing, and welcoming. I have recommended several friends to her and usually see her on a regular basis sometimes just because it is so calming to have a session. read more

I have never been to an acupuncturist in my life, I have always been very squeamish when it comes to needles. However, I was told that the most effective way to get rid of my back pain was to see an acupuncturist...I was amazed by the result. Aiesha was very flexible with her schedule, and accommodated me completely by giving me options. She inserted the needles in my back, and I hardly felt them, it was almost pleasurable. When I left her office, I felt as if I was floating, and my back pain had disappeared. I have recommended Aiesha numerous times to friends, and as of yet, no one has been disappointed. She truly has the gentlest touch, as well as a very soothing voice and energy. I plan on seeing her again as soon as my back pains return, which have been dormant for 3 months now! read more

Aiesha is a world class acupuncturist with a special gift for healing. I began going to her over three years ago when I was looking to reduce my teeth grinding. After just one session I experienced immense relief. I have returned over the years for help with other conditions and Aiesha has always managed to help me tremendously with whatever ailed me. Best of all is Aiesha's marvelous personality. She exudes a warmth, intelligence and passion that make her such a pleasure to work with. Her office is serene and comfortable; some of my most peaceful moments have occured there. If you're considering acupuncture or herbs, look no further than Aiesha. She is the best! read more

This is the best acupuncture session I have ever had. She asked for your health history and about your symptom then tailor made all her treatment methods to fit you. I had knee ligament problem and have been going to 3-4 acupuncturists and she was the only person that really looked for the spots to cure. The place is awesome with beautiful view, nice music, oil, room. Very relaxing. She got great skill and simply is the best !! read more

This is my second review for Aiesha. The first one doesn't show up because it's associated with a defunct email account from a job I had when I first became her client. A job that nearly killed me and made me physically ill for three long years. Thanks to Aiesha, I not only recovered from a lifetime of chronic pain (since age 3), my migraines were relieved, I slept for the first time in about 6 months and got myself out of a horrible work environment! The other day I was in her new (beautiful!) office when a new client came in, and I was SO excited for her! When I told her "this will change your life!" I meant it. I often brag to people about how great *my Acupuncturist* is and when I say she is literally the best person I know - it's not an exaggeration. As someone with an extreme phobia of Doctors and a disdain for needles, I can tell you not all Acupuncturists are created equal. Aiesha is so incredibly kind, thoughtful and calming..you'll feel like your visiting with an old friend and not receiving "treatment". I honestly cannot say enough good things about her and would recommend her to everyone. ****************** Here is my original review from, I think 2010: Call her now! I'd had a horrible acupuncture experience prior to going to Aiesha..but she is amazing! She genuinely cares about her clients, is a great listener, makes you feel comfortable, spends extra time with you when needed, is honest, does extra research if needed to give you the best treatment, etc. Really can't say enough amazing things about her! She excepts insurance (and has reasonable prices if yours doesn't cover), flexible schedule, weekend hours, late night appointments and is close to the train! She practices at Omni Wellness Center which is a VERY clean, new looking office. Always very peaceful. If you are nervous about trying acupuncture or just looking to go somewhere new - call Aiesha ASAP. You'll love her! read more

Aiesha will change your life. She is smart and attentive, and better than therapy! She treats all ailments and puts so much love and care into each session. If I could give her ten starts I would! read more

I've had acupuncture before, successfully, but Aisha has such a gentle hand and a calm voice, and knows what she's doing! I had treatment for a foot condition yesterday and today my foot is already much better. I hope to use Aisha's services again and again and recommend her highly. Hettie Jones read more

I have seen several physicians and specialists for chronic foot pain that has not been diagnosed or alleviated. After only a few weeks of seeing Aiesha, I am seeing signficant progress in the pain. Not only is she a skilled acupuncurist, but she is empathetic and sincerely interested in my symptoms and progress. Her treatment not only impacts my pain, her energy is infectious and improves my mood as well! I would highly recommend Aiesha for whatever ails you. read more

Aiesha is amazing!!! She works the whole body not just where you have a need. This relaxes you to a state you don't want to leave. Its truly an experience! I would recommend this for anyone. First times to regulars of acupuncture. You leave feeling rejuvenated and euphoric! read more

My new go-to place for acupuncture. My previous spot had a set-up where everyone was in the same room receiving their treatment and I felt like trying something different after the latest debacle with my back. So I tried Aiesha, and absolutely loved it. The space is great - I really prefer the private room to the community set-up. The bed (table? whatever you call it) was heated. Heated. I felt like Marty McFly discovering some crazy new invention in the future. Aiesha is cool as hell - makes you feel really at home and at ease. She spends a lot of time and attention going over what is bothering you and ways you can help yourself - simple stretches and things like that. And as she's doing the treatment, she explains exactly what she's doing and how it's going to feel. She strikes the perfect balance of making sure you're all good and leaving you be to relax and enjoy the treatment. And most importantly, one treatment did wonders for my back. I will definitely be returning and I highly recommend Aiesha for anyone looking to get acupuncture. read more

i love aiesha, i have been going to this place for years and every-time i come out feeling much better. She is very thorough, patient and listens carefully to all your concerns. She is very friendly and always end up having a good chat, makes me feel like im visiting a friend every time i go for an appointment . She also gives lifestyle tips to combat your problems holistically. Highly recommend this place. read more

Aiesha is amazing - I haven't been to acupuncture for a few years and was nervous about going to someone new - but Aiesha is so gentle, thoughtful, and careful. It is also the most relaxing experiences I have had with any non-traditional medicines. I highly recommend Aiesha to anyone thinking about acupuncture. read more

I have been going to Aiesha religiously (once to twice a week when I can) since I first found her in February of this year. She has only gotten better and better over this past year - both as she's gotten to know me more and as she's continued to study acupuncture. She obviously loves acupuncture and helping people and we have established an amazing relationship - she's helped thru injuries from dancing, day to day stress, and illnesses - whether it was just a common cold or a terrible bout with the flu. She's amazingly caring and careful and always follows up to see how her treatment effected me days later. I have never met someone so devoted to her work and her passion. I feel so lucky to have found her. I feel like she is my angel! read more

I came to Aiesha after three months of terrible lower back pain + high daily dose of pain killers and had the most amazing experience! Not only she was willing to accept me after hours, she took the time to explain her method so I knew what to expect, she advised on some excersise, and off course treated my back and shoulders. I was sore for the rest of the night and early next morning but well into the day the pain just vanished and I have not taken a single pain killer today. Add to that the fact that she is a nice and compassionate individual who operates in a super pleasant environment - a visit to her is just short of a miracle read more

Aiesha is absolutely amazing. She is attentive and caring and effective...and better than any other health care provider I have ever seen. If I could give her ten stars I would. Book your appointment now and start the healing! read more

My first time getting acupuncture and i'm addicted!!! Aiesha is amazing! so peaceful and relaxing. I have had cronic knee problems for over 20 years and in one visit it made a hige difference. Aiesha doesnt just work on your problem but does a balancing of the whole body. I really believe it makes a huge difference. She brings you into a different world and when you leave you instantly miss it!! read more
