Essential Tremor
“I have been diagnosed with Essential Tremors that started > 10 years prior. I have pronounced trembling in both of my hands, weakness in my wrists, numbness in the fingertips, shoulder pain, and weakness in the muscle of my legs. I could not do the simplest of tasks; hold a teacup, write, or bring food to my mouth. I had poor sleep and anxiety. My daughter took me to visit her acupuncturist, Samantha. She explained how Chinese medicine works and why my hands tremble. After 2 months of acupuncture and herbs, my trembling reduced gradually. The trembling in the left hand is gone and the right hand is 80% better. I feel stronger, calmer and happier. I can write legibly and thread a needle. I can walk farther and have the desire to do exercise at home. I recently met with friends I hadn’t seen in a long time and they noticed the difference immediately. “

Stye
“I had a stye for several days and decided to visit Dr. Hewwing who gave me acupuncture and within 20 minutes, I felt the pulsations in my eye stopped. I took the herbal formula (granules) as prescribed. The next day I woke and the stye shrunk. I continue the herbal formula for another day and the stye gradually disappeared. Dr. Hewwing practices not only acupuncture but internal medicine as well. I was so happy I texted her to let her know I am living proof and a believer!”

Postpartum
“I was feeling exhausted in my last weeks of trimester, had back pain and was generally lacking in energy. I started seeing Samantha and noticed the difference straight away. Not only did I thoroughly enjoy the sessions, the relaxation I achieved during the session was amazing. I saw immediate improvements in my overall health, energy and my back pain lessened. Samantha is very intuitive and has a great sense of knowing her clients. I enjoyed several comforting chats with her, she really knows her stuff. Since the birth of our baby, I am seeing her more and more and feeling the full benefits of her treatments. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

Low Back Pain
“I’ve personally never believed in eastern medicine (acupuncture) as I’m more a traditionalist; surrounding myself with chiropractors for a long time. My lower back has been a consistent bother over the past five years from sports and fitness related injuries limiting my ability to perform. I walked into Samantha’s office after having difficulties getting out bed over a three-month period which expensive x-rays didn’t cure or define a clear path to getting better. In as little as one session my lower back pain was relieved and bringing me back to the active life I love. I’ve been continuing to see Samantha and cannot tell you how much time and money and pain you’ll save by making an appointment. If you’re struggling with physical pain, you should give her a visit.”

Plantar Fasciitis
“I am a runner. My podiatrist told me I have plantar fasciitis and I would need to wear orthotics. The pills to help with the inflammation did not stop the pain. I went to see Dr. Hewwing and after 3 sessions of acupuncture, the pain reduced 90% & now 6 weeks later, I am pain free. Highly recommend Dr. Hewwing for pain and other disorders.”

Anxiety
“I explored acupuncture having had it recommended to me by a close friend. I had been suffering with general anxiety symptoms including foggy headedness, along with aches and pains, which were impacting on my day-to-day work and home life. Samantha took time to listen and fully understand my needs and worked the acupuncture around me - each visit we discuss 'where I am at' and what I want to focus on, and I firmly believe the focused work to clear my head has helped me enormously. I also understood more clearly where my symptoms were stemming from. I had reduced stress levels and many of the physical symptoms have also been rectified. I am in a far better place now than I was when I first visited, and I expect that I will visit Samantha time and time again in the future. She is warm and welcoming, makes me feel very relaxed in what was initially an unknown environment, and she always remembers me, my situation and the reason for me visiting.”

Fibromyalgia
“I just wanted to send you an update for next session. And this week has been beyond stressful for me and it is surprising no pain. It has been so much better since I started seeing you. I am so much better Sam with your treatment. First time in 11 years I feel better.”

Autoimmune
“I’ve been through a fair share of acupuncturists in NYC, and Sam is by far the best! she’s thorough in her approach and makes sure you get the most out of each session. I went to Sam to help give my body a boost while dealing with post-viral effects of mono and seeing Sam on a regular basis helped immensely with symptom management and my recovery overall. I cannot recommend her enough, go see Sam!”

Neck and Shoulder Pain
“I have chronic neck and shoulder pain, with pain radiating down the arms for many years. After seeing MDs, Chiros and PTs, one suggests I try acupuncture. Although I hated needles, I tried several acupuncturists but none were able to help. A friend of mine referred me to Dr. Hewwing. She is very talented and used very few needles. In my first visit, I noticed while lying on the table with needles in, I was actually pain free!!! After the first treatment, I was able to sleep through the night without painkillers. I also noticed my digestion improved in the process. I would recommend Dr. Hewwing to anyone to try acupuncture.”

Insomnia
“I am an acupuncturist but only started to learn about herbal formulas. My main problem is the inability to sleep peacefully for many years. I have worked with other practitioners who failed to help with my situation. I finally asked several colleagues about herbal formulas. After much thought, I took Dr. Hewwing's advice and her suggestion worked. With one dose, I was able to have my first night of dream free sleep after years of unrestful sleep. In addition, the formula also helps address other concerns. ”

Wellness
“Samantha is super kind and informative. This is a much more serious form of acupuncture than I was used to than the previous ones I went to. Left feeling much more relaxed and light. Definitely would recommend for anyone in need of real holistic treatments.”

Frozen Shoulder
“We spent the first half hour talking, getting a full overview of my entire health, mental health included. She paid attention to everything I said— not like a typical detached clinical setting. Even though I booked acupuncture, she added Gua Sha to my session after determining it would best treat my conditions. It was extremely relaxing for me and immediately brought me relief! Then we spent the last half hour with the acupuncture. I really felt as though I received a comprehensive health treatment, with a complete mind/body reset. I highly recommend Samantha!”

Fertility
“My husband and I tried for many years to conceive. I am opposed to modern interventions. Samantha has been my only acupuncturist. Three years later, we have two beautiful girls, both conceived and delivered naturally! Thank you Sam.”

Musculoskeletal
“Dr. Sam is great at treating my worst pain. Muscle spasm, headaches, menstrual pain, stress, and more. She can identify the problem and deliver a very effective treatment that'll leave you feeling better, FAST. I trust Dr. Sam with the most complex of health concerns. If you've been to doctors without a solution, or when conventional medicine has failed, Dr. Sam delivers!
I am now a week out from acute level neck pain. One week ago, pain was an 8 out of 10, constant and sharp. I couldn't turn my neck to either side. Now my neck is 100% pain free, full range of motion thanks to Dr. Sam's treatment.”

Dermatology
“I can't say enough good things about Samantha. I've been going to Hewwing Acupuncture for some chronic pain, skin issues and seasonal allergies for a little over a year. My body has been responding well to her integrative approach of acupuncture, cupping and chinese herbs to treat my issues. I've experienced relief after each session as well as a more sustained benefit after seeing her months after her treatments (in comparison to other acupunctures and integrated method practitioners). I haven't done cupping or chinese herbs before and Samantha has opened up my world to these treatments that actually work for my body.”
