Book thisAcupuncture and holistic wellness care designed to reduce stress, relieve pain, regulate your nervous system, and support your overall well-being. Ten years of practice. Quiet, lasting medicine.

Heart & Small Intestine season. 30 days until Earth (Late Summer).
Every visit begins with a quiet intake — pulse, tongue, breath, the way you sit in a chair. From there we build a treatment that meets your body where it actually is today.

Book thisWe weave together classical Chinese medicine and modern nervous-system science. Four pillars guide every session.
Pulse, tongue, posture, breath. We read the body as a living text — not a list of symptoms to fix.
Before anything heals, the system needs to feel safe. Gentle, repeatable, evidence-informed care.
Acupuncture, cupping, facial work, herbal steam — Traditional Chinese Medicine adapted for modern New York life.
Make space for clarity and alignment. Healing isn't only what arrives — it's also what is allowed to leave.

Over 10 years of experience. Specializing in pain relief and nervous system regulation through acupuncture, cupping, facial acupuncture and yoni herbal steam.
Welcome — I created Sano as a space for healing, restoration and reconnection. With over ten years of experience as a licensed acupuncturist, my approach combines holistic healing, nervous system care, and personalized wellness treatments designed to help clients feel more balanced, grounded, and supported in both body and mind.
I specialize in pain relief and nervous system regulation, helping clients work with stress, tension, burnout, emotional overwhelm and physical discomfort through acupuncture, cupping therapy and restorative wellness rituals. I am also certified in facial acupuncture and yoni steam therapy, offering treatments that support physical healing alongside overall well-being and rejuvenation.
My goal is to create a calming, supportive environment where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, and experience healing in an intentional, restorative way. The body has an incredible ability to heal when it feels safe, cared for, and brought back into balance.
We treat New York professionals with busy lives — juggling family, work, and social life. The kind of full days that leave the nervous system running past midnight. You belong here.

Almost never. The needles are about as thin as a strand of hair — many clients don't feel insertion at all. What you may feel is a soft heaviness, warmth, or a gentle ache where qi gathers around the point. Most people leave the table relaxed enough that they don't want to drive home immediately.
