Testimonials

I look forward to my acupuncture treatments. I know that Christine will listen to me and be able to diagnose and treat me for whatever is bothering me that day. After the treatment, I generally feel better and know that I can contact Christine with further questions, if I need to do that.

Acupuncture works for me. I completely trust Christine to be able to help me or to let me know when she can't help. I feel that she provides an envoronment of safety and warmth to facilitate health and healing. She also shares her knowledge on health issues and lets me know what she is treating and why. I am happy to refer other clients to her, as I know that they will be getting excellent attention and treatment.

I would highly recommend acupuncture treatments as a tool towards improving one's health and well being. I have been a client of Christine's for many years and have found her approach to be warm, caring and professional. She spends a great deal of time and truly listens to your needs prior to treatment. Acupunture has helped me with a variety of health issues. Christine's office is a serene oasis in Manhattan. I look forward to going the day I schedule the appointment! I always leave feeling more relaxed, happier and more grounded.

Christine creates a very warm, supportive, non-judgemental atmosphere from the first contact and throughout the treatment. She has a unique way of connecting that immediately allows you to feel comfortable and understood. As a result, I get an overall sense of well being and calmness.

Visiting Christine's office evokes none of the anxiety that a trip to a doctor sometimes does. She always makes me feel welcome and at ease. She takes time to elicit a history of what is going on with me physically, emotionally and spiritually. She asks questions and gives feedback but is at the same time respectful and does not pry or push. She is very positive about the treatments she offers but does not make unrealistic guarantees about outcomes or timetables. She explains possible treatments an we often decide together which to pursue.

The actual acupuncture is comfortable and relaxing. I have had acupuncture in the past that hurt a bit- Christine does not.

I leave Christine's office feeling relaxed an empowered, realizing that I am doing something positive for my health and well being.

I have been seeing Christine for acupuncture for several years. Sometimes I go regularly to address a certain issue, other times I just go for a "tune up". Often a treatment will result in fairly immediate improvement in a symptom, the long term benefits are more subtle. Christine helps promote small and gradual changes by helping me become more self aware in areas such as nutrition, exercise, relaxation, and communication. She helps me find balance.

As I get to Christine's office, I am anxious to be relieved from my stress. During the treatment I feel a calmness. I almost always doze off into a quietness. Afterwards, I walk a couple of miles settling into the treatment. I feel settled. My main issues are hot flashes and stomach upset. Acupuncture targets these issues and they are diminished. It is a process and lifestyle change. You must allow yourself to receive, as the acupuncture targets balancing the core. I personally feel, after my dedication to this technique, a dramatic difference in my health, stamina and an acceptance of my day to day. It is a process and may take a period of time.

Overall increase in mental clarity, energy levels, and self awareness, both immediately after the session and far beyond. During the session, I feel listened to, heard, respected and supported; these feelings carry over into my daily life.
