Acupuncture in Harlem

Alternative medicine for pain, stress,
digestion, and everything in between

Jumpstart Your Healing

Most people don’t walk through my door without a reason.

They come because they’re done waiting for a pill to fix something it never quite fixes, or because they want to feel better without adding more chemicals to their body.

Maybe you’ve tried the conventional route and hit a wall, more appointments, more prescriptions, same pain. Or maybe you just want a natural way to take care of yourself before things get worse.

Either way, acupuncture works with your body instead of masking your symptoms. It’s not a quick fix, but for a lot of people, it’s the thing that finally works.

*Please note, this isn’t a high-volume clinic, where you’re in and out on a timer. There’s no rushing and no cookie-cutter treatment plans. It’s just you and me figuring out what your body needs. I provide one-on-one care with each session.

Meet Linyana

I run an acupuncture practice in Hamilton Heights, where I focus on helping women get out of pain, manage stress, and feel like themselves again.

My approach combines acupuncture, electrical stimulation, targeted massage, moxibustion, gua sha, cupping therapy, stretching, and nutritional recommendations.

Every treatment is tailored to your specific condition, and you’ll have my full attention for your entire session.

I specialize in pain, stress, and digestive health, but welcome anyone looking for a natural, effective approach to their wellbeing.

Common Conditions

Chronic pain, stress, and digestive issues are the three conditions I treat the most. If you’ve been living with pain that won’t go away, stress that never turns off, or a digestive system that feels completely haywire, I can help. These are the symptoms most people feel:

Pain

Aching, stiffness, tension that won’t let go in your neck, back, shoulders, or hips. It’s there when you wake up and still there when you go to bed.

Stress

Overwhelmed, irritable, running on fumes. Your to-do list never ends and your body never fully relaxes, even when you finally sit down.

Digestion

Bloating, cramping, irregularity, or that uncomfortable heaviness after eating. Something always feels off, no matter how well you eat.

How Treatment Works

Initial Consultation:
We’ll start by discussing your primary concerns. How long you’ve had it, and what makes it better or worse. I’ll do an assessment and let you know whether acupuncture can help you and what kind of results you can expect.

Your Treatment Plan:
Based on what I find, I’ll recommend a treatment period. This may be anywhere from a week of treatments to months of treatments. It depends on your condition and health goals.

What to Expect:
Results are gradual. Most people start to notice shifts after the first few sessions. Sleep improves, pain starts to ease, the tension you’ve been carrying begins to soften. The longer you’ve had the condition, the more time the body needs, but progress is steady and each treatment builds on the last.

Testimonials

Linyana takes a full-picture approach in her treatments. She understands how everything you're doing for your health is connected and takes her time to explain how everything she recommends works together to benefit you. She helped a lot with reorienting my thinking about nutrition and how it ties into the physical pain I'm experiencing, and her acupuncture treatments always helped a lot with the pain I was experiencing. Highly recommend her! :)​

Linyana is thorough, thoughtful and an incredibly detailed practitioner. She spends the time needed to get to the root cause of the problem at hand. Linyana came highly recommended to me to help with my chronic migraines. I can happily report that I went from weekly headaches lasting 24-48 hours at a time to 2 in the last 2 months. Linyana is a quality of life saver for me. I feel better than I have in more than a year. I credit her 100% for this.

I am so grateful to have found Linyana! I first started seeing her to treat a vertigo episode which she helped to quickly dissipate and then continued to see her as complimentary care while I was training for my first half-marathon. Linyana's warm and caring demeanor puts you immediately at ease during treatments and she truly listens and works with patients to achieve their goals of better health. Very highly recommended! You won't regret!

FAQ

Does acupuncture hurt?

Most people feel little to no pain. You might feel a brief pinch when the needle goes in, but once it’s placed, you start to feel deeply relaxed. The needles are hair-thin, sterile, and comfortable.

How long are appointments?

Your initial consultation and treatment is about 60-90 minutes. Follow-up treatments typically last 45-60 minutes.

What should I wear?

Wear loose, comfortable clothing that can be easily rolled up to access your arms, legs, back, and neck. Athletic wear or loose pants and a t-shirt works well.

Do you accept insurance?

I do not accept insurance but will provide a superbill for your reimbursement.

How quickly will I feel better?

This depends on your condition. Acute injuries often improve quicker. Chronic pain typically requires 3-4 weeks of consistent treatment to see significant improvement. Sometimes, even longer. During your consultation, I’ll give you realistic expectations for your specific situation.

What if I've tried acupuncture before and it didn't work?

Acupuncture effectiveness depends heavily on treatment frequency and the approach. Many people who “tried acupuncture once or twice” didn’t receive enough treatment for their body to respond. With packages, you can get the consistent care your condition actually needs to heal.
