James and Tera are ethical, smart, caring, and very good at what they do. I love them, both personally and professionally, and highly recommend them!

I can't believe how awesome this place is…read more It's a profound mixture of quality and value. I haven't had health insurance in forever, and when I was taken down by a BRUTAL cough a friend of mine recommended I see his acupuncturist and herbalist. Upon showing up in the cozy little office in the Flat Iron building I was a bit surprised to find out that my friend's acupuncturist was neither Chinese, nor old. Please don't take that as I sign of ignorance, it was just that the way my friend had talked about his acupuncturist and how skilled he was, and how he doesn't get migraines and yadda yadda yadda I just assumed that the guy must be Chinese and well seasoned. Call me captain ignorant. The Dr. (?) was named Evan and was very pleasant. A nice quiet guy, must have only been a few years older than me. He asked to see my tongue, and took my pulse, and then started asking me a bunch of questions. I was getting ready for some needles when the doc told me that I was in need of herbs, not acupuncture. He had this big chest of drawers and grabbed some things out of a few of them, mixed them together and told me to add a teaspoon of the mixture to hot water and drink it every other hour. Then he gave me the bill and I was shocked, it was jaw droppingly affordable. I was stunned, and happy, and took myself out to a nice lunch at the indian restaurant around the corner. So yeah my cough didn't clear up immediately, but I did start feeling better after the first cup of what I can only call "cinnamon sweat". Within a day or two my cough was completely gone and remained at bay. My plan is to call this guy whenever I start feeling ill, rather than when I'm in the throngs of death. I'm just excited about being able to take care of my health without having to worry about money as much.

I can't even begin to describe how relieving that was to my nervous system after scores of practitioners, Western and non-western, who failed to incorporate my whole being in the care they offered me. She's kind and compassionate while being straightforward. She knows her shit and will tell you when she thinks someone else has expertise better suited to you. She's sharp as a tack and discerning as a hummingbird (not sure why that bird comparison came to me). She's gone through her own health journey too and you can feel that in her compassion and her willingness to journey with you in yours. And she has the greatest laugh. (For transparency, we were friends before we started working together, and she navigated that expansion in our friendship with the utmost grace. She's artist and scientist in one.)

I've had my fair share of different acupuncturists. Jaime immediately caught my attention with her amazing reviews online. When conversing with her to see if it would be a good fit, I could tell she was committed to her practice. What has come as a result of the sessions? I have worked on a multitude of things in acupuncture include general wellness, anxiety, low blood pressure and reducing the rash after a spider bite. How did I feel and what treatments did I try? I can confidently say I have seen an improvement in all of the above mentioned areas. I tried traditional acupuncture, using a heating lamp and ear seeds. What has changed my life for the better? Knowing I could count on Jamie into treat a multitude of ailments and also give input on herbal supplements helped keep my mind at ease and enhanced my self-care practice. Would I recommend Jaime to you? Yes! It is evident that Jamie is knowledgeable about a variety of conditions. Also, she uses a unique method when applying the needles, by applying pressure on the skin so you do not feel them going in. Especially on spots that are typically sensitive, such as the feet. No more "breath in and exhale because this one is going to hurt" Additional Notes: Jamie creates an inviting atmosphere in her office. It is evident she is an experienced acupuncturist who understands the human body and how to treat a multitude of ailments

After completing post-graduate studies at NESA, Wendy spent six months in China studying at the Zhejiang College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Hangzhou.
