If you are a NEW patient, please choose an appointment marked NEW PATIENT. WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO BOOK A FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION TO MAKE SURE IT’S A GOOD FIT BEFORE YOUR PAID INITIAL INTAKE. For Free Initial Consultations or other Phone/Online appointments, you may look under ANY LOCATION (as the appointment is virtual).

FOLLOW-UPS: After your Initial Intake, you can book follow-ups with ANY practitioner and ANY location of your choosing, without doing a new initial intake. Look forward to meeting you!

PAULINE offers only virtual and “pop-up” acupuncture services at the Midtown location, she does not go there in person regularly. You can still book your initial consultation with her and she can set you up with a treatment plan. Or you can start with another practitioner directly.

Let go of pain and stress. Nourish your body and spirit. Naturally manage your stress, anxiety, moods and sleep. Find natural supports for your journey with cancer, chronic pain, or other illnesses.

*Chinese herbal medicine is an ancient art of combining medicinal herbs into a custom prescription for each patient. The combinations strengthen the desired effects of the herbs, while minimizing side effects. We typically use between 8 and 18 herbs in each formula. Herbs come in their dried form for boiling at home, or in granules, tablets, capsules, tinctures, washes, soaks and more for easy consumption. We always take into account what other herbs, supplements and medications you are on for safety reasons.
