Acupuncture, Chinese Medicine & Yoga for Anxiety and Mental Well-Being
Anxiety can affect sleep, digestion, concentration, and your sense of ease.
In Chinese medicine, these signs indicate that the nervous system and the flow of Qi (vital energy) need support. At my Brooklyn practice, I combine acupuncture, Chinese medicine, yin yoga, breathwork, 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, 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 use between treatments.
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
Liver Qi stagnation → irritability, tension, reactivity
A personalized plan may include acupuncture, customized herbal formulas, nutrition, and breathwork to address symptoms at their root.
Yin Yoga & Breath work For the nervous system
Yin yoga and breathwork 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.
Creating Calm in the midst of chaos
City life is fast and stimulating, your acupuncture experience shouldn’t be. My treatment room offers a quiet retreat where you can reset, recharge, and reconnect. I dedicate my time to offering the right combination of modalities for your constitution. Together we create the space to discover the best step forward to anxiety relief and emotional balance.
