Return to Practice

After what was a most wonderful maternity leave, I resumed office hours in June. Thank you for all the well wishes! My practice hours are currently the following:

Manhattan: Wednesday 10am - 7pm (appointments outside these hours may be requested)

Brooklyn (Element Natural Healing): Thursday 2pm - 8pm

Forest Hills, Queens: Sunday 8am - 2pm & Monday 7am - 12pm (appointments outside these hours may be requested)

Due to the change of the rental structure in my Manhattan office, for the time being I will not have Saturday hours. I will update as hours are added back in.

I am looking forward to the chance to see each of you, and continue to be part of the care of your health and well-being! Please reach out and let me know how you are doing!

Very best,
Chelsea
