My experience with Mona has been wonderful. She is very thorough and so therapeutic. Her calm energy and knowledge has helped me heal in so many ways. I especially appreciate her technique... she is gentle and takes care to find the exact right point when needling. I also LOVE when she does guasha. She is never judgmental but always warmly suggests better options for me. She has loaned me a few great books. She sends emails about topics she thinks I'll want to know about. She emails to see how I'm feeling. And, most importantly, visiting her for treatment has made me feel so much better! read more

I have seen Mona off and on for 15+ years. She is an incredible healer, consummate professional and a deeply caring and loving human. She has helped me in many ways: process grief and loss, move stagnant energy, heal injuries both emotional and physical. Mona cultivates a calming environment for her patients and always gives her full attention. Appointments are very easy to book (although do it in advance -- she is in high demand!). I would recommend her to absolutely anyone who is searching for a highly skilled acupuncturist and healer. Mona is magical! read more

Mona is a gifted and empathetic acupuncturist. Her touch is light and expert. She generously shares her attention, healing energy and knowledge and has a warmth that is memorable. I went to her in 2009 for the first time. And recently in 2022, when in need again, I remembered her and did not hesitate in reaching out! Her new office is clean, comfortable and has a calming energy flow. The treatment rooms are restful and restorative. Thank you Mona for all that you do! read more

I've been seeing Mona for a decade. I've gone long periods in between sessions (several years at points!), and tend to come in more acute moments, she always remembers me and I always feel better when I leave. She listens carefully, takes a holistic approach, and offers a few different paths each time. I've done cupping, Gua-Sha, acupuncture and hypnosis with her. She has a very calming and comforting presence. I highly recommend her, and have recommended her to all my friends. read more

As an early patient of Mona I know her work and deep study of acupuncture is with integrity and care. She is deeply empathic and honest. Plus she is a great teacher and will explain thoroughly what she is doing. I've also collaborated with Mona and know her in that capacity. She is someone you want in your corner. read more

Mona is an incredible healer. She is gentle, knowledgeable, kind and highly skilled. I had a treatment post-trauma and it was a healing that lasted for years. It was cathartic. Mona was so attentive and sensitive. The treatment and Mona's demeanor and attention allowed me to heal.​ read more

(This is my first ever Yelp review. Please excuse the novella.) I've struggled with a dizzying number of ailments for several years: vertigo, thyroid disorder, stress/anxiety, and unimaginable headaches. In 2005 and 2006 I had a brain aneurysm, that first bubbled and then burst. This caused me to miss months of work and left me frightened and often in pain. Western Medicine consistently treated these problems as unconnected. Despite having access to very good doctors, I was frustrated, in pain, and had no tools to begin to climb out of the pile of diagnoses I felt trapped under. I have no co-pays at doctors, and still a small mound of medical debt from previous health issues, so I was reluctant to spend out of pocket money on any health related treatment. But as my health problems continued to pile up I went to Mona in April of 2009. Her sliding scale encouraged me to make the leap, but after I experienced the first comprehensive health visit of my life I thought even the top of her scale was absurdly inadequate. Even after my first visit I felt a measure of significant relief from my immediate concerns of sporadic dizziness, and more important, a glimpse of understanding of myself as a whole integrated person, and a hint of the root of my various ailments. Chinese medicine was (and is!) a bit beyond my rigid western comprehension, but even the rudimentary understanding I've gained from Mona's patient thoughtful teaching and The Web That Has No Weaver, I've learned enough about myself to make healthy choices that leave me feeling balanced and integrated. My health, my mood, my sleep, my relationships are all in much better shape than they were before I started seeing Mona. Despite a fear of needles I find acupuncture with Mona a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I'm always a little sad when she comes back to remove the needles. In the very rare cases where something might hurt she gives you plenty of warning and a choice. A few months in I discontinued all the medications I had been taking (in consultation with my MDs!) and I've felt honestly healthy for the first time since childhood. This summer my schedule and some intense family issues have kept me from Mona, and I know I suffer for it. She's also amazing in a pinch. When I had a neck injury that a fistful of muscle relaxants couldn't touch, her needles had me feeling whole in about half an hour. Mona has an astonishing depth of knowledge about health issues. She's a nutrition and yoga expert in addition to her acupuncture expertise. I know that the wisdom and recommendations she dispenses from her iphone are more valuable than the direction I got from a dozen Park Avenue MDs. At Mona's recommendation I've also seen another acupuncturist, primarily for Chinese herbs, but also at times for acupuncture. He's a leader in the field, a dean of an acupuncture school, and extremely helpful and insightful, but honestly I feel both more relief and more understanding after a visit with Mona. Her office and treatment room are a sanctuary. Her patience and loving manner are superhuman. She's the only truly wise person I've ever met. If you're struggling with a chronic or an acute condition, please go see her. She's extremely self aware about what she can treat and what might be better handled elsewhere. It's honestly the best thing you can do for yourself. read more

Mona is an incredible healer! I have been attending acupuncture treatments at her practice, People Tree Wellness, since 2009 and it has changed the way I live. Besides being well-trained and incredibly well-versed in Chinese medicine, yoga and other healing arts, Mona is a gentle and compassionate spirit. My experiences at People Tree Wellness are the ONLY time a health practitioner has sat down to consult with me, for as long as I need, at each and every appointment. Mona is a source of peace in my life, I look forward to seeing her and receiving treatments. I recommend Mona and People Tree Wellness without reservation-- you should see her today-- your body and mind will thank you! read more

I've never felt more taken care of than after a session with Mona. I started seeing Mona for help with managing anxiety and depression. The results were astounding and I highly recommend treatments with her. She is a true healer. The real deal. read more

Mona is amazing. She has a very holistic approach to her treatments and has helped me in a million different ways. Every time I leave her office I feel such great energy. I highly recommend her to all my friends and family. read more

I was so blessed to find Mona through Yelp. I had been managing a hormone condition with birth control and wanted to come off the pill to treat my symptoms more holistically and also try to get pregnant. Normally I go months without getting a period when off the pill but the DAY after my first session with Mona I got a full period, and got pregnant that cycle. She never told me to expect this result, only that she had a good feeling. She was extremely in tune with my body and has quite a bit of experience treating reproductive issues. Even more importantly than this amazing result, Mona was so present, offering her time generously, answering all my questions, and providing gentle, informative care. She put me at ease even though I'd never had acupuncture before. I continued to visit her weekly through the first trimester to ensure a healthy pregnancy; her office and her calm, caring presence were always a welcome respite. I highly recommend Mona - she is an incredibly talented, professional and loving healer. read more

Mona is a one of the kind acupuncturist who always takes the time to listen, understand, and care for her clients. I initially consulted Mona to deal with digestive issues, but her impact goes beyond what I ever imagined. She helped me become more aware of how I digest things physically and emotionally, which were both huge contributors to my stomach discomfort. Not only was I able to deal with my digestive issues naturally, I lost almost 20 pounds three months into the process. Mona has helped me take care of many ailments, and her holistic non-judgmental approach is always a breath of fresh air. With Mona's treatments, I am able to take the time to devote to self-care and re-center my body via acupuncture. Her office is also clean, inviting, and easy to get to, which makes it even more convenient. She is truly a healer in many ways. I highly recommend Mona's practice to anyone who wants help beyond traditional medicine. read more

Mona is the most amazing acupuncturist I've ever been to. Her energy itself is calming, and her knowledge of Chinese medicine is quite thorough. She is able to combine acupuncture with techniques like cupping and scraping, and always explains exactly why she's doing what she's doing (if you want her to). Thanks to her explanations, I feel like I always get two-for-the-price-of-one: an acupuncture treatment that relieves my aches and pains, and the understanding of where trauma and tension are stored in my body. Her approach is holistic, and her follow-up suggestions for care are also quite useful. I send all my friends to Mona, and give her the highest recommendation! read more

I went to Mona for acupuncture and guided meditation every week for about 2 years. I was in the middle of a very traumatic situation that caused me a lot of pain and anxiety, and through her guidance with EFT, de stressing with acupuncture, and guided meditation, I was able to make to break free from my traumatic event and have since moved on from a better life. If I had not moved away from NYC, I would still be going to Mona religiously, her compassionate spirit and wisdom is priceless, as well as her skill and accuracy in her acupuncture.. When I told her my emotional or physical state during my acupuncture sessions she knew exactly which pressure point to focus on. She's great with newcomers, very detailed in explaining her work and makes you feel comfortable the minute you walk in! read more

A river flows, bends, turns meandering towards a sea. It doesn't stop to judge whether it went a wrong or a right way. It simply flows towards a sea. Isn't that what life is? Mona so graciously asked of me during our hypnotherapy session. I let go. With patience and kindness she helped me to remember that life is a stage upon which I, we, all walk and it's a play. It can be a joyous one when we step back and really allow ourselves to perceive the multiple ways we flow. Thank you Mona, you are indeed enchanting. In that one session I left feeling grounded and spacious. read more

Mona is truly incredible. A treatment with her leaves me feeling more relaxed than any kind of spa treatment.

Mona has helped me tremendously! She is very open, kind, warm, doesn't judge and is always supportive, and she has a great sense of humor and always makes me laugh :) She is a true healer. Her office is very peaceful and I always feel comfortable and right at home with her in there. The waiting area is nice with lots of interesting books and magazines to read, as well as water and tea. I've had some pretty incredible acupuncture sessions with her. I've had acupuncture with other people before I met Mona, and she is definitely the best I've ever had. I don't want to make this too long or personal but she is amazing and I recommend her all the time to my friends and coworkers. She truly loves people and wants to help. I am so thankful that I know Mona; such a special person! read more

Mona is an angel and has helped me in ways I never expected. I came to her for help with my insomnia brought on by xanax withdrawal and years of anxiety and stomach issues. Within two sessions I noticed a huge improvement in my digestion and after the 4th treatment I had a huge breakthrough with my anxiety and it's dramatically better. We have combined hypnosis with the acupuncture and it has been incredibly powerful. She is remarkably tuned in and a natural healer. She is the best of the best! read more

I love Mona the acupuncturist. She is truly amazing, sweet gentle and very knowledgeable and did I say gentle. I have had many issues from sciatic pain, allergies and other things and having gone to Mona I have to say they are practically gone. And they linger because of my own doing and not following what I am told to do. I have been going to Mona for a couple years, before that I went to others and I can truly say no one compares to Mona. She takes time to listen to treat your problem and then gives advice if you want on how to keep the pain off. There was a time when I would walk around in the city back hunched in so much pain and taking pills, and after seeing Mona I am off the pills and can do my regular activity again. Her office is also very clean and peaceful which is very important for me when I go to a acupuncturist. Her prices are very reasonable and if you have a hard time she will work with you. If you are thinking of acupuncture or are doing acupuncture, if you dont go and see Mona you are surely missing out. I am having my whole famly and friend go see her and they all love her too. read more

Mona is great. I've been going to her for over a year because of my back pain. She is very thorough and will treat any problems that you may have, not just focus on the problem area. My back pain is almost completely gone now. I highly recommend her! read more

I had my first appointment with Mona today and it was a wonderful experience. She is a very skilled Acupuncturist as well as Health Coach. She took an entire hour to find out about my health history, and listen to what is really going on for me; It is so rare that a practitioner will really take the time to listen and inquire. Not only that, but she was compassionate and kind throughout the entire process. It is very clear that Mona really wants her patients get what they need. I went for general anxiety, a rare eye condition (early stages of macular degeneration), low energy, and hard time relaxing. I will update as this was only my first session. read more
