Every patient
matters to us

Acupuncture is a process. It is very rare for any acupuncturist to be able to resolve a problem completely with one treatment. The usual American model of treatment once every few weeks or once a month is primarily due to cost. Frequent treatment is much more likely to lead to relief. We will suggest a course of treatment, based on our experience with treating different kinds of conditions.

“A painless life is a happy life.”

When I first moved to NYC 7 years ago from Tokyo, what I found in my encounters is that many people suffer from side effects attributed to environmental pollution, pharmaceuticals and/or complications from a variety of operations. This created a desire to help others with so much more than just their living arrangements, it made me want to follow in my mother’s footsteps and study acupuncture and East Asian medicine.”

Dar, Reiki Master

Reiki Energy Healing

Dar (they/them) is a Two-Spirited healer who comes from a legacy of indigenous leaders and healers from the Houma Nation–a small Tribe located in Southeast Louisiana. Dar’s great grandmother Hilda was a “Traiteuse”–a Native Cajun Folk healer. Hilda’s daughter Laura was the Chief of their tribe, and taught her grandchild Dar about their culture and practiced Houma traditions together. Though Hilda died before passing down her knowledge directly to Dar, the long lineage of healing through touch has inspired Dar to heal themself and their community through the combination of different practices.

While Dar was pursuing their BA in Gender and Sexuality Studies, they were introduced to Reiki for the first time. Inspired by the parallels between their great grandmother’s practice and Reiki, Dar got certified within a year. Seven years later in 2022, Dar is a certified Reiki Master, they have learned from other Traiteuses in their bayou community, and is finally following in their great grandmother’s footsteps.

Energy Healing: These sessions can provide support and relief from any number of issues such as energetic blockages, anxiety, depression, addiction, gender dysphoria. Dar’s own experiences with these issues inform their practice, and their goal is always to get you back to/ on the path towards perfect alignment. Anyone and everyone are welcome.
