FAQ & Insurance

Please notify us before booking treatments if you have disabilities. This will prepare us in advance to provide the best possible treatment or therapy for you. When receiving your treatment, we will address your needs based on your personal assessment. You may also communicate to us how you are feeling during your treatment. If there is anything you would like us to address, please inform us.

Please turn off all cell phones and be mindful of other ongoing treatments. For Eastern bodywork, we ask that you wear comfortable loose fitting clothing. For Western massage therapy treatments, clients are comfortably draped with a sheet.

All of our services are offered by appointment only. We highly recommend booking your treatment in advance to ensure that your preferred time and service are available. Scheduling may be done online and requires a credit card to enforce the cancellation policy. Please indicate at the time of booking if you are redeeming a gift certificate, package, or other promotion.

Gratuities are not included in the price of services or packages. However, at your discretion, gratuities are welcome and graciously accepted. Any gratuity you leave is entirely based on your satisfaction.

All sales are final. We are unable to process any returns or reimburse any payment transactions.

For everyone’s convenience, a minimum notice of 24 hours is required for cancellation or rescheduling of an appointment. This means no same day cancellations or same day rescheduling. The lack of such notification will result in a cancellation fee of $50.

We accept Cash, Visa and MasterCard. We do not accept 3rd party vouchers.

As of January 1, 2023, we are no longer accepting health insurance plans. Sorry for the inconvenience.

A number of health insurance plans in New York City cover acupuncture, including Blue Cross and Blue Shield (BCBS), Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare (UHC), Oxford and others. Unfortunately, all plans are different, and many have restrictions or deductibles that must be met before coverage begins.

To find out your coverage, book a “new patient” appointment though our website and enter your insurance information. We will verify your coverage usually within two business days.
