My body is working the way it's supposed to, and life is finally becoming enjoyable again. I've never felt so comfortable and welcomed, and Annie's personality is so genuine!

Annie truly helped give me my life back in a matter of 2 weeks. I was struggling with extreme…read moreanxiety disorder and depression, which was making my day to day unbearable. I had hit my rock bottom, but was so scared to be put on medication through my psychiatrist, so with advice from my therapist, I looked into natural medicine. I was open, but slightly skeptical going into see Annie. I believe in energy work, but have never experienced her type of practice. Annie told me I should feel a lot better after 10 days, which I was holding on to because I was about to get married. Within 5-6 days, I finally felt the shift. Previous to this, I was so uncomfortable in my own body. I've been under her care now for a little over 3 weeks and I feel SO MUCH BETTER in my body. I haven't felt this balanced in such a long time. My husband, family, and friends have all noticed the difference. Thank you so much Annie for literally giving me my life back! I HIGHLY recommend her services.

My former acupuncturist recommended Laurel to boost my fertility, as I had been trying to get…read morepregnant for a year without success. Within a few months of seeing her, I was pregnant and my beautiful son is now almost 2 years old. Instead of taking hormones to get pregnant the way many women in their late thirties/early forties are encouraged to do, I took Laurel at her word: The first day I arrived for an appointment, Laurel advised me to stop trying for a few months while she worked to get my body "ready." It was hard for me to surrender and trust her wisdom because in my fear-based psychology, each month was chipping away at my egg supply and ultimate prospects for having a child. Pausing in my quest to get pregnant was akin to giving up, but Laurel helped me see that my relentless attempts were futile without the balance she could help me achieve. In spite of my misgivings, I followed her advice, took the herbs she recommended, and received weekly acupuncture treatments from her for three months. After the three months were up, Laurel told me it was time, and lo and behold, I got pregnant as soon as she gave me the green light to try again. I believe she is gifted and highly intuitive in her practice. I still go to her every month even though I am not trying to have another baby. I go because she is immensely skilled at the art of healing, and she has been a nurturing presence in my life for three years now. The acupuncture treatments Laurel gives me are often the most restful, peaceful part of my month, and I can count on her to assess my well-being and adjust her treatment to combat the ailments that plague me in any given month, such as headaches, stress, or a lack of vitality. Mostly, though, I go for the same reason people go to a spa, to reach deep relaxation. It doesn't hurt that her office and attendant cabins are ensconced in what feels like an almost mystical clearing surrounded by trees and flowers and great natural beauty.

James is definitely one of the best! He really listens to what you want and what you know your body responds to better. For instance, I generally don't get the same results if the same acupuncture point on both sides of my body are not done together or if I tell him I need a back treatment today, he will accommodate these things using his expertise and my intuition. Also the way he stimulates the needles to activate your Chi always gives me great results. He is also very knowledgeable as a ND. I highly recommend James if you are looking into either or both treatment options.

She is super empathetic, one of those people who you feel like you can say anything to. She helped me regain a cycle after a year of amenorrhea through treatments and gentle lifestyle advice.

I had major wrist problem and the University of Stanford Orthopedic group said they would have to operate on me. I was too scared to have an operation so I found Heather. After a week of herbs and acupuncture I was able to use my wrist again and in about month I was 99% better. I know that sound too amazing to be true, and I would think the same thing before when people told me how Chinese Medicine cured them of this or that, but my fear of surgery made me try and I'm so glad I did. And if you just want to feel good her stress treatments are amazing. I would be on cloud 9 for days. I know everyone has some stress in their lives so I highly recommend it. It's way better then any pill your therapist could prescribe you. Oh, and the cupping feels so good after sitting in front of a computer all day. See if you can try that too. :) Heather has a great personality. She's super knowledgeable, warm and friendly. She bills your insurance for you and is located in Union Square. So convenient.
