Let's talk about needles !

I know some of you are scared of needles. I understand. Many of you were traumatized by doctor's injections... be it vaccines, medication, or simply having blood drawn. This fear keeps many of you from experiencing the wonderful healing that acupuncture offers. I'm here to offer some comfort.

The needles your doctor uses are a hypodermic syringe. They are like hollow 'straws'. Acupuncture needles are NOT a syringe. Acupuncture needles and solid yet very, very, very fine. In fact, the needles we use are only 0.18mm in diameter (smaller than those in the picture)... that's just 2/10 the width of a dime! They are so fine that they bend like a 'stainless steel dog's whisker'. In fact, they're so thin that several acupuncture needles can fit inside a syringe.

Stop worrying and start healing !

Chinese Medicine sits at a fascinating crossroads between the more modern, western, allopathic understanding of health and the purely energetic, more spiritual perspectives of wellness.

We use physical interventions like acupuncture NOT to directly address our biological functions, but rather INdirectly through a complex understanding of the mind-body connection. By subtley manipulating the rarified we give rise to changes in the material.

Acupuncture releases energy. Energy heals.

The imminent 'Fourth Industrial Revolution' suggests a merging of digital technologies that promise to change the very shape of our society and how we interact within it...

HOWEVER, the analog human body itself hasn't changed much in tens of thousands of years. The ancient Chinese medicine approach to our individual health and wellness remains as significant as it always has.

What's old is always new again.

At HVCA, we offer two affordable paths to health and wellness with Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

First... I offer traditional private treatments at my home office in Putnam Valley. Like Chinese medicine itself, our treatment room is clean and simple, yet efficient and effective. We'll examine a history of your condition, determine your Chinese medicine "pattern", and design a treatment specific for you. To make these treatments accessible, we charge on a sliding scale of $70-125. Pay only as much as you can afford, but be as generous as you can.

Second... our community clinic in Cold Spring, NY offers treatments in a small group setting of only 3 people. These treatments are offered in comfortable 'zero gravity' reclining chairs in a room with soft natural light and soothing music. Patients report that the group setting offers a sense of 'community' that you find in a yoga class or other similar group. These treatments are available on a low sliding scale of only$40-70. Again, pay only what you can afford, but be as generous you can.

Both these options, embrace the same ancient healing wisdom. The only difference is the setting.

Call to schedule your appointment and start feeling better at a price you can afford.

In these trying times we could all use a little help.

Acupuncture isn't just for aches and pains... Acupuncture is POWERFUL mental, emotional and spiritual medicine !

In TCM, spiritual health is primarily associated with the Shen (神), often translated as spirit, mind, or consciousness. However, the concept goes deeper, encompassing one’s sense of purpose, emotional resilience, clarity of thought, and connection to life and the universe.

The Shen and the Five Spirits (Wu Shen, 五神)
Each of the five major yin organs is believed to house a spiritual aspect:

Heart (Shen 神): The primary spirit; governs consciousness, thought, insight, and emotional balance.

Liver (Hun 魂): The ethereal soul; associated with dreams, planning, creativity, and vision.

Lungs (Po 魄): The corporeal soul; tied to instincts, sensations, and bodily awareness.

Spleen (Yi 意): The intellect; responsible for thought, memory, and focus.

Kidneys (Zhi 志): Willpower; governs determination, drive, and long-term memory.

These "Five Spirits" must be balanced for spiritual harmony. Disturbance in one can cause anxiety, depression, indecisiveness, restlessness, or spiritual disconnection.

call 845 220 8435 (yes, a telephone call) to schedule an appointment.

After operating this acupuncture practice for nearly 20 years and witnessing the power of community first hand, I've come to realize that HVCA is less an acupuncture 'clinic' than it is something of an acupuncture 'club'... It's a special place where we recognize our interdependences and support each other's healing by simply healing TOGETHER. THIS is the powerful medicine that we all desperately need, yet our for-profit, managed healthcare system has lost sight of.

If this message resonates with you, reach out to me to learn how you can join this 'club' and find your healthiest self.

Discover the space where body and spirit meet.

There exists a place between the purely somatic/biological understanding of health (allopathic medicine) and a more esoteric, psychospiritual sense of wellbeing (shamanism, therapy, meditation, etc). True wellness lies in harmonizing the physical with the psychospiritual—melding science and soul. Traditional Chinese Medicine bridges this gap beautifully, offering a holistic system that unites ancient wisdom with modern needs.

At 'Community Acupuncture,' we bring this transformative approach to YOU. Acupuncture taps into the energy within and around you, fostering balance and healing. Accessible. Affordable. Empowering.

Treatments are offered in a shared space with a sliding scale fee of just $40-$70.

Call 845 220 8435 to book your session or learn more. Wellness is within reach—step into the harmony you deserve.

As an acupuncturist, I particularly love sharing when I PERSONALLY benefit from the healing power of acupuncture.

Recently I developed a case of olecranon bursitis from leaning too much on my elbow on the floor in front of my wood stove. The fluid sack that protects the point of the elbow joint became inflamed and filled with fluid. It was tender to the touch but not terribly painful... but it is weird looking !

Acupuncture treatments have dramatically helped reduce the swelling, and as soon as it's completely 'cooled off' and no longer tender, I'll see a doctor to drain the remaining fluid.

To learn more about how acupuncture can help you, call me at 845 220 8435.

While we champion the power of healing in a group, I understand that some patients want to maintain their privacy.

I offer private consultations/treatments at my home office in Putnam Valley on a sliding scale of $75-$125.

Just like at the community clinic, I turn the 'value proposition' over to the patient so YOU can determine how valuable the treatment is to YOU.

call me at 845 220 8435 with questions or to book your appointment for healing.

A daily conversation at the Community Acupuncture clinic...

Patient: Wow, Awesome treatment. I feel great! What do I owe you?

Me: I charge along a sliding scale of $40-$70. Pay what you can, but also be as generous as you can. When you pay higher on the scale, you support the clinic for others that can only afford the minimum. ya know, pay it forward!

Patient (confused): Yeah, but how much do I pay?

Me: Here at HVCA, we want everyone to have access to this incredible medicine. We separate value from price by turning the 'value proposition' over to our clients. How much you VALUE the treatment is up to YOU.

Patient: Wow, that's amazing. Your treatments are worth even more than $70, but I can only afford what I can afford.

Me: Thanks ! that's cool. When your strapped pay the lower end of the scale. When you're a bit more flush, pay a bit more. Build your karma when you can.

Patient: (speechless)

The effects of acupuncture are EXPERIENTIAL.

It's not something you necessarily understand rationally. It's something you have to FEEL to embrace... and by 'feel', i don't mean just the pinprick of the needles... I'm talking about how your body REACTS to those needles. That's the 'magic' part !

If your curious and want to try acupuncture for the first time, we offer group style treatments along a low sliding scale of only $40-$70. YOU determine the value of the treatment, by choosing the price you pay.

for more info or to schedule an appointment, call or text me at 845 220 8435. If I don't answer right away, please do leave a voicemail !

with healing,
