Excellent healing experience - not your typical massage, but the release will be atypical…read more Matthew is a talented healer who listens to your body (sometimes when you don't even realize what it was saying that until later! ) Personally i have a fair amount of head trauma (physical and mental ) . He has been a great help so far and its only been 2 sessions. I'll certainly be back for more. The office is mellow, clean and simple.

Both of my parents were Medical Doctors and I have many doctors in my immediate family, so didn't look to oriental medicine first. However, I am a true believer in this specific case. Matthew is healing my knee with no medication. It's almost too good to be true. Almost don't want him to be discovered, he'll be too busy to see me.

Jennifer was so thoughtful and effective. I saw her during a major health crisis and she was…read moreincredibly helpful. We never started a session w/o a thorough check-in. She always made sure she was in the know of what all was going on in my world and in my body. She had better insight than the MD who I was seeing and was able to guide me toward more comprehensive medical support. She studies her craft and is very in tune with societal issues and injustices. Her space always felt safe and I always felt heard. Not sure I'll ever find an acupuncturist as thoughtful, wise, and caring as her. Thank you, Jennifer, for all of your support -- emotionally and physically.

After seven months of biweekly acupuncture, I've entered a new quality of being that I believe…read morewould've been impossible without Jennifer and the skill, encouragement, attentiveness, compassion, and humor with which she's graced me. Acupuncture has tremendously impacted my digestive fire, inflammation, anxiety levels, and quality of sleep--and I will never forget the day Jennifer instigated my late period's arrival immediately after a targeted treatment. Some sessions entail subtle needling; in others, I've meditated on vulnerability through discomfort with the utmost trust in Jennifer, arriving at a newfound state of calm, clarity, or excitement. There is the empirically-measurable efficacy of acupuncture and the relief it has granted me from chronic illness (from a Western perspective: adrenal fatigue, amenorrhea, dysbiosis, candida, autoimmune disease, acne, eczema); there is, moreover, the psychosomatic poetry of the bodymind blending Heaven and Earth, grounding me in profound ways inextricably linked to my sense of self and well-being. Through acupuncture with Jennifer and my personal study of Daoism, I've gradually recontextualized "anxiety" or "angst" as the simple expression of an element out of balance: within this paradigm, I continue to discover new ways of self-care, intuition, and a drastically improved sense of trust and vitality. Within our increasingly digitized Western culture predicated on the Cartesian separation of body and mind, it has meant the world to me to rediscover my whole self: physically and energetically inseparable; relational to the world at large; intuitive and sensual. ...To say this medicine "works" feels like an understatement: it works on levels both explicable and inexplicable, seen and unseen, with equal validity. Jennifer is truly an exceptional healer, a source of joy and wisdom for whom I hold the deepest gratitude and affection--in short, if you are able, schedule a session! It might be one of the best decisions you'll ever make.

I was a little skeptical about finding a good acupuncturist in the New Orleans area, but after looking at reviews I decided to give Dr. Vu a try and I'm glad I did.

I have various issues I've been dealing with for a long time and don't expect a magic cure, but I do feel better after 10 treatments and leave every session feeling so relaxed I can hardly walk out of the office.

Katya responded to me VERY quickly and was able to see me the very next day (which was a Sunday). They were gentle and informative in setting up the appointment and I was eager to work with them again. The service was above and beyond what I had expected. I was able to express openly in the intake and her Acupuncture assessment and skills gave me immense relief to my pain and discomfort. She incorporated cupping and was very clear and communicative to me, I felt like my whole person was being thoroughly attended to. After treatment the help did not stop! Katya offered my some exercises to continue to help my neck and shoulders and offered a list of helpful herbs which she offered to order for me. When I expressed that did not make sense with my travel, she informed me of several places in New York I could go to with affordable acupuncture. I was blown away by the depth of her services and look forward to booking again! THANK YOU KATYA YOU ARE AN AMAZING AND SKILLFUL HEALER!

New Orleans Acupuncture is situated on the second floor of a Westbank office building, one of…read morethose industrial facilities endemic to suburbia that inevitably feature large swaths of plate-glass windows and depressing little peopleless courtyards. This particular office complex was so deserted I didn't encounter a single person on my way into (or out of) the acupuncture clinic. It felt like one of those post-apocalyptic movies where a sudden energy pulse or virus instantly wipes out all of humankind. The effect was not unpleasant. I showed up for my appointment in the (empty) waiting room and filled out pages of forms, which required information on everything from my drug use history to the state of my anus (does it ever burn? [no.]). Acupuncturist and co-owner Chris Tran led me to a small, windowless room featuring a padded table covered with rustling white paper. Framed embroidery of hummingbirds and morning glories adorned the walls, along with a drawing of a naked dude whose body was striped with meridians and dotted with acupuncture points. (FYI, guys: There don't appear to be any acupuncture points on the penis.) Tran spoke to me at length about my medical history and problems, then took my pulse and asked to see my tongue. "You have a scalloped tongue," he said matter of factly. "That's a symptom of liver chi stasis, which causes anxiety and excessive worrying." It just so happens that this is the problem I sought to relieve through acupuncture! I was impressed he could discern that just from looking at my tongue. "We had one acupuncturist who didn't even talk to patients. He just looked at their tongues and took their pulse," Tran informed me, adding that patients could lie about their symptoms, but their bodies wouldn't. After about 20-30 minutes of chatting about acupuncture and thoroughly and patiently addressing all my questions (e.g., "How was acupuncture derived?" "Thousands of years ago, a guy accidentally got poked in the back with a spear and then his back pain disappeared."), Tran got down to business, stimulating that sluggish liver chi by sticking pins in my ears, hands, feet and head. I've read a lot of acupuncture websites that are like, "Oh, it doesn't hurt!" And contrary to what ye olde innernets tell me, sticking needles in your body does hurt. Some parts more than others. "All the 400 acupuncture points have personalities," Tran said. "Some are loud; some are quiet. So some hurt more than others. It doesn't mean anything about your chi." I lay there for a while (probably close to an hour) and listened to Enya-esque jams. Every so often, Tran came in to check on me, and he gave me a little pager I could use to summon him. It was pretty mellow; kinda boring. If you're looking for a soothing, spa-type experience with aromatherapy and mood lighting, go elsewhere.This is pretty no-frills stuff. "You'll feel better tomorrow," Tran said as he plucked out the needles. He told me to take some kind of Chinese herb three times daily, and to get four or five more treatments spaced a week apart. He gave me a jar of the herbal supplements for no extra cost! Awesome, free liver pills! I paid $95 for the treatment, which was pretty reasonable, I think, especially considering that there's no limit to the number of maladies you can address in one session. Follow-up sessions are $75, and they do community acupuncture on Saturdays for $40 a sesh. Heads up - there's an $8 fee for running debit or credit cards, so you may want to bring cash or a check. And not surprisingly, my insurance didn't cover it. After the treatment, I was wiped out, so I just lay around and slept most of the afternoon. The next morning, I still felt pretty stressed out, but that evening, the fog lifted. I felt lucid and calm and generally positive about life. I scheduled my next appointment and have been dutiful about the liver pills. Overall, I give the experience a very enthusiastic thumbs up, and I'm sticking with the program (get it???? ).
