Integrative care using acupuncture, Chinese medicine and yin yoga to calm the mind, regulate the nervous system, and support long-term mental wellbeing in Brooklyn, NY

Anxiety is a common complaint that I often treat alongside other symptoms like sleep disturbances, digestive issues, and an inability to focus and concentrate, which can leave the client with a sense of discomfort on many levels.

In Chinese medicine, anxiety indicates the flow of Qi (vital energy) is out of harmony and needs support. I combine acupuncture, nutrition, yin yoga, breath work, red light therapy and lifestyle guidance to calm the mind and build lasting resilience.

Acupuncture for Anxiety & Stress

Acupuncture is a gentle, effective way to quiet the stress response. Using carefully selected points, an acupuncture treatment can:

• Reduce tension and restlessness

• Lower cortisol and balance mood

• Promote restorative sleep

Patients often leave sessions feeling calm, clear, and light. Regular visits help create long-term stability while we develop easy practices for you to replicate outside of the treatment room.

Chinese Medicine for Emotional Balance

Anxiety may present in different ways according to Chinese medicine patterns:

• Heart Qi disharmony → racing thoughts, palpitations

• Spleen strain from overthinking → fatigue, digestive upset, brain fog, overthinking

• Kidney depletion from chronic stress → fear, low vitality, no motivation

• Liver Qi stagnation → irritability, tension, reactivity

A personalized plan may include acupuncture, customized herbal formulas, nutrition intervention, and breath work to address symptoms at their root.

Yin Yoga & Breath work For the nervous system

Yin yoga and breath work extend the benefits of acupuncture between visits. I create short, sustainable practices — like needle-less acupuncture — to release stored tension, support the meridians, and calm the parasympathetic nervous system.
