Truly an exceptional experience working with Monica. As a fat queer person of color, it was important for me to find someone who could see me as human, and treat me in a holistic way rather than with judgement or presumptions. Monica has exceeded my expectations with her kindness and wonderful skill set. I always feel safe and heard and seen in her hands, and am so grateful for this medicine. Cristina.
I was able to run the NYC marathon thanks to Monica’s expert touch as an acupuncturist and healer. After three months of long distance running training, I had developed various pains and strains along my right leg, and I was not seeing any improvement with my physical therapist.
Having never tried acupuncture before, I came to Monica feeling apprehensive of the whole process, especially the needles. Her light, airy space and warm, calming presence immediately put me at ease, as she asked more questions about my issues and my health overall. I felt better the very next day, much to my surprise, and felt confidence for the first time after weeks of struggling through training that I’d be able to finish my race after all, which thankfully I did.
What strikes me with Monica’s practice is that I came in thinking I needed one thing, and I came out having received so much more. She asked about my dietary habits, my sleep, and gave me holistic treatments and recommendations that were not only specific to my immediate goals but kept my long term lifestyle in mind. Caroline.

“I fell into the deepest sleep I have ever experienced in 30 minutes. I know acupuncture is not a one-and-done practice, but I left the clinic feeling fully rejuvenated and lighter.”

“I love Monica’s gentle approach to acupuncture. I grew up getting acupuncture back home in Asia so I’m pretty accustomed to it. But Monica has made me feel the most comfortable at any session.”
