Our Practice
Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine NYC
We've spent years refining an integrative approach to care across chronic pain, immune health, women's health, and metabolic health. That experience means you're in capable hands — whatever brings you to us.
We listen carefully, consult thoroughly, and treat with purpose — always with a plan that's personal to you.
A Different Kind of Care. Treatment that's personal. And entirely yours.
Choosing a practitioner is a deeply personal decision. In a city with endless options, Hewwing Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine is designed for patients seeking thoughtful, individualized care—whether you're addressing a specific condition or looking to better understand your health as a whole.
-
At many clinics, you see a different practitioner at each visit. Here, every appointment is with Dr. Samantha Hewwing. She knows your history, tracks your progress, and refines your treatment over time. That continuity is part of what makes the medicine effective.
-
We look beyond symptoms to understand your lifestyle, stress, sleep, and overall health patterns. This level of attention allows for treatment plans that are precise, responsive, and grounded in how your body actually functions.
-
Not all acupuncturists are trained to prescribe herbal medicine—and fewer still hold formal board certification in it. Dr. Hewwing is board-certified in both Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology (Dipl. OM), meaning your herbal prescription is backed by rigorous, accredited clinical training in both disciplines.
We draw on time-tested classical formulas refined over centuries, but the true art lies in the selection and adaptation. Your prescription is tailored to your unique constitution and adjusted in real-time as your body responds. This is a distinction worth asking about at any practice you consider.
-
Your body isn’t static, and your treatment shouldn’t be either. Each session builds on the last, with ongoing reassessment to reflect how you are responding in real time.
-
Every treatment takes place in a quiet, dedicated room. Healing requires stillness, privacy, and a sense of safety—so your care is never rushed, and always fully your own.
