I came in with an injury I *thought* was in my hip, and within five minutes she identified the root of the injury in my upper back. I was pain-free in two visits. But what I appreciated most is that she gave me long-term solutions after digging into a pattern of back pain that I have. She gave really concrete advice: preventative stretches, exercises and tools I can use on my own. She was thorough, fast, and made me feel comfortable. I expected to solve the problem in my hip, and instead I got treatment and advice for my hip, back, and posture. Her office is open a few days a week, but she's really responsive! It's hard to find a trustworthy doctor, and she is the real deal.

Nothing seemed to offer relief and the pain has been unremitting. Fortunately, I met Dr. Kim Tsao, a consummate acupuncturist and spinal expert. She is treating me with a combination of acupuncture, cupping and deep tissue manipulation. There's light at the end of the tunnel! For professional reasons, I seldom recommend a practitioner... but Dr. Kim is extraordinary and conveniently located right on East 56th. This is the first time in over 2 year, I've managed to have pain-free hours and a real night's sleep.

She was always so thorough every time we met and was willing to listen to every intimate detail of my life so that she could treat me accordingly. She has a calming and healing presence and I always left feeling 10x better than when I walked in. She was actually the first person I got to tell in person that I was pregnant and it meant as much to me as telling our close friends and family. With her Reiki practice, she helped me to become more in tune with the energy in my body which intensified my ability to physically connect with the baby in pregnancy. Don't think twice about meeting Sara. She is the best in Hoboken and money well spent!

Her approach to Chinese medicine is authentic and her intuition is a strong piece that is tapped into during sessions. She uses a combination of healing methods including reiki, guidance cards, moxa, sage, needles and bodywork. I always feel lighter when leaving her space (which by the way feels so safe and comforting with the heated table, calming music, crystals and more)! I see Sara as not just an acupuncturist but a master of her craft where this stuff is truly innate to her being. Her recommendations like incorporating more earth energy into my life and warming foods to my diet have also truly made a difference. Blessed to have met such a kind soul and grateful for the shifts I've been seeing due to working with her. Thank you so much Sara!! Can't wait for my next session :)

I started acupuncture in April of 2025 with Tabitha because of lower back pain that turned into…read moresciatica. I had SERIOUS issues. My entire body was tense... I mean, VERY TENSE. I was in pain 24/7. Now, 18 sessions and 4 months later, I feel like things are really looking up. I'm feeling hopeful. Tabitha is a patient, sensitive, and skillful acupuncturist. She gets to work right away and does a little check-in verbally and by feeling out your body when you arrive. She has a magical touch, and I most look forward to the brief end of session massages that she gives (they are incredible). Even though some sessions are painful due to what she is having to treat, I feel as though they're helping me towards living pain-free (or with minimal pain). Not only that, she is helpful in other areas -- when I was having intense bloating and GI issues, she provided a chinese herbal regiment that helped so much. She gives me recommendations for other kinds of practices like deep tissue massages and rolling out my feet. Everything she says, I listen to, because Tabitha is always right. I can get really skittish about continuing practices but I find myself craving acupuncture with Tabitha... and another testament to how much I value these services: I pay for them out of pocket even though I could see other acupuncturists in-network! In short, I owe so much to Tabitha. Body Mechanics has been my once to twice-weekly "treat"; I so enjoy that time that my body has needed/wanted for so long ... by someone who knows what they're doing!!

You name it, I have tried it to relieve my pain. Nothing compares to the amount of physical relief and mobility improvement Carine was able to provide in just two sessions. She was able to accommodate my strange schedule and put in extra time and honestly, she improved my mobility and pain by like 60%. I've come such a long way since our visit, I have a bit more to go but my ability to do so is because of her talent and skill. Do yourself a favor and see her if you can.

Carine really understands the way the body works and puts that knowledge to good use in her healing work. Initially I was reluctant to have anyone touch my back as it was so painful but I felt much relief after just one visit. I knew I was in very good hands throughout the entire session which was so important as the pain made me very nervous about being worked on All in all I would highly recommend Carine to my friends and family as someone who is an instinctive healer and caring practitioner

The space itself reminds me of spaces difficult to find in New York now - a huge, high ceiling loft with beautiful Southeast Asian carved wood decor and inviting upholstered couches with floor to ceiling windows in the reception area, and hot tea or filtered water waiting for you. I was brought back to the treatment rooms, which are understandably smaller but not cramped, painted in dark, warm colors, and with the slightly medicinal scent of mugwort mixed with something citrusy. Due to my pain, I was stiff and somewhat needy, and Ayla, a former dancer and Pilates enthusiast with a lithe, petite build that matches those interests, worked with me to accommodate my large body and make the treatment table work for me. It was an empathetic compassion that's rare to find in the medical and paramedical community, and much appreciated. NOTE TO THOSE IN THE HAES/ BODY ACCEPTANCE MOVEMENT: the tables are quite wide, and you won't have to work past sneering bias with Ayla. She's already woke. Onto the treatment. I am a skeptic when it comes to the language surrounding acupuncture and its miraculous claims, but I do believe that dry needle stimulation and rerouting inflammation modalities works. And it really, really did. My piriformis, which was in a death grip on my sciatic nerve, let go during that session quite dramatically, as did a complimentary Charlie horse in my calf that had been there for 5 years. She also did cupping and a light massage on my low back, moving the cups around, which ended up leaving very little bruising. The next day or so, Ayla called me to see how I was feeling, and I assessed that my muscles had experienced the relief hoped for from the treatment, and that I had to consciously remind them not to clench again. She explained that muscles need to be retrained, but that's part of the course of treatment, so it's not a miracle but a way of working with the body's own strengths. I made my follow up visit then and there. Ayla is very professional and extremely knowledgable, compassionate and friendly, has a very light touch with both needles and cups, and knows just where to treat you. I need to book my next session now.

They both have an exceptional bed-side (table-side?) manner, and intersperse humour with professionalism, as well as an in-depth knowledge of the human body. Of late, my treatments have been entirely with Susan, and she has been amazing at finding and working out every issue I bring to her. Appointments are easy to come by, and they also don't get twisted if something happens and you need to re-schedule (although try not to do so, as this is a very small practice that has to juggle a lot of patients' needs). I'd always been afraid of acupuncture, but the good folks here helped me get over it and appreciate a new way of feeling better. Truly recommend them, whether or not you like or believe in acupuncture. You just might be surprised by it, and I'm sure the good people at NYC Points will win you over.
