Acupuncture in Brooklyn | LK Mind Body Wellness with Laura Kauffmann, L.Ac.
Welcome to LK Mind Body Wellness, your boutique acupuncture and wellness studio located in the heart of Brooklyn, New York. I’m Laura Kauffmann, L.Ac., licensed acupuncturist, with a master’s in Traditional Chinese Medicine and over 25 years of holistic training (spanning western nutrition and health coaching, Japanese-style acupuncture, applied channel theory and palpation, Thai yoga massage, Yin/Yang yoga, and facial-cosmetic acupuncture).
Here in Brooklyn, I combine Eastern wisdom and modern integrative techniques to support your unique journey toward greater balance, vitality, and well-being.
What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a foundational pillar of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It involves inserting ultra-thin, sterile needles into precise points along the body’s meridian system to encourage the smooth flow of Qi (pronounced “chee”). When the flow of Qi is blocked, deficient, or out-of-balance, symptoms can emerge. Acupuncture restores equilibrium in the body, both energetically and physiologically.
In a modern clinical framework, acupuncture can stimulate nervous system regulation, boost circulation, modulate pain pathways, and help your body’s regulatory systems perform more optimally.
At LK Mind Body Wellness in Brooklyn, I often integrate these tools to enhance outcomes:
Electro-acupuncture (gentle electrical stimulation through needles) for chronic pain, nerve or musculoskeletal issues
Moxibustion (heat therapy) and Infrared therapy
Cupping, Gua Sha and meridian stretching
Breath-work, Yin yoga, and holistic health coaching for nervous system resilience
Conditions & Concerns I Treat
Each treatment is 100% individualized. Below are common concerns my Brooklyn-area clients bring to me:
Pain relief & musculoskeletal issues — neck pain, low back pain, shoulder tension, menopausal frozen shoulder and joint discomfort, repetitive strain, sports injuries
Women’s health & fertility support — menstrual irregularities, fertility support, perimenopause, menopause symptoms, hormonal imbalances
Stress, anxiety & sleep disturbances — insomnia, chronic stress, nervous system dysregulation, mood imbalances
Digestive health & metabolic support — IBS, bloating, slow digestion, SIBO, gut-brain imbalances
Skin & anti-aging concerns — acne, scarring, fine lines, skin vitality and radiance
Because no two bodies or lives are identical, your treatment plan will evolve to meet you where you are and support your next stage of healing.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your comfort and clarity are top priorities. Here’s the flow you’ll encounter in your first session:
Intake & Assessment — We’ll review your health history, current symptoms, lifestyle, and goals.
Treatment Plan Creation — Based on your intake, I’ll design a plan with recommended frequency and additional modalities (if needed).
Acupuncture Treatment — You’ll relax in my calming treatment space while I apply the needles (typically 20–30 minutes, but timed to your body’s response).
Supportive Modalities & After-care — I may integrate cupping, moxibustion, bodywork, and give you targeted home-instructions (Yin yoga, breath-work, dietary suggestions) to deepen your results.
Follow-Up & Adjustment — We’ll monitor progress and refine the plan together, so you keep moving forward in your healing journey.
Pro Tip: Wear or bring loose, comfortable clothing (shorts and a t-shirt work great) and arrive about 5 minutes early so we can begin on time.
