Simply put, Sharon Yeung has changed my life. For several years I struggled with intense stomach pain, acid reflux and digestive issues. I tried everything (or so I thought)- changing my diet, taking prescription drugs- nothing worked until I met Sharon. I originally went to see Sharon to deal with severe anxiety and depression. I was at a point where nothing I was doing was making me feel better. I was willing to try anything, despite my skepticism about Eastern Medicine. She made me feel comfortable from the first day I met her. Sharon not only worked with me to ease my stress and negativity, but also treated my digestive tract with acupuncture and herbs. Almost immediately, I started noticing a difference. She is a great listener, a wonderful healer and confidant. She geniuinely cares for her patients, which is why I have recommended her to many friends and co-workers. I am happy to saythat they have had life-changing experiences as well. Thanks to Sharons care and support, my digestive issues have been treated and I am no longer struggling with anxiety and depression. I highly recommend giving Sharon a try. I hope that you will be as blessed with her healing care as I have been.

I am indebted to Sharon Yeung for helping to get my 8-month-old baby sleeping like she should! After just one treatment, my daughter has gone from waking up every hour (sometimes less) to sleeping in 3-4 hour stretches, which is exactly what I would expect as she is still nursing through the night. I have gone from being a miserable, exhausted, and frustrated mess to feeling rested and energetic. Now I can give all the time and attention I want to my baby and her older brother. Sharon also was my doula for my daughter's birth, and that experience also was absolutely incredible. Sharon is patient, thoughtful, insightful, and funny. I cannot say enough about the benefits of acupuncture to the health of the entire family.

As an acupuncturist and doula, Sharon Yeung played an invaluable role in assisting me with the birth of my first child. She met with me and my husband a few weeks prior to ascertain what kind of birth we were envisioning (I had hoped for a natural birth) and how best she might assist. Sharon gave me a routine acupuncture induction treatment in my 38th week to help prepare my body for labor, which started 5 days later. Once labor started, she was available immediately for advice by phone and soon arrived at our home to assist. Her combined skills, as well as her calm and nurturing presence, were invaluable to me and my husband. Throughout the 24 or so hours of my labor, Sharon was right there with me, giving acupuncture treatments for pain and nausea, suggesting different positions to keep me comfortable, applying counter-pressure during contractions, making sure I stayed nourished and hydrated, guiding me with deep breathing and generally just being a wonderful emotional support. Sharon has an innate ability to make timely and helpful suggestions without putting on pressure or being too overbearing. She teamed up very well with my husband (and later, with the midwife and nurses at the hospital) to keep labor progressing smoothly. I found that having a doula to assist with labor removed the worry of uncertainty. I was fortunate to be able to have the natural birth I had envisioned, due in no small part to having a trained professional there to judge where I was in the process and keep things calm, allowing me to concentrate on the task at hand. Beyond this, I would highly recommend Sharon as a doula because of her empathetic nature as well her tireless work ethic, at every moment assessing the situation and determining how best to be of help. If I have another child I sincerely hope that Sharon can be with me during the labor and birth!

As someone who studies the impact and efficacy of health care providers, I was surprised to realize how little attention I paid to the quality of my own health care. That is, until I met Sharon Yeung. From the moment we met, I understood what a dynamic and productive relationship with a health provider can be. Her dedication to the practice of acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine is evident in her bedside manner, the clarity of her diagnoses, and her commitment to follow up.

Sharon has a way about her. From her ready smile to her gentle yet firm touch, she exudes confidence and competence in her work. After seeing many gynecologists about concerns with my reproductive system, a friend recommended that I see Sharon. I procrastinated, thinking, what could acupuncture do for my problem?! After just a few sessions that included thorough conversations, acupuncture and herbal prescriptions, I knew that I was receiving a type of care that I would never have received from my gynecologist. I also know now, that this is part of how TCM works, but Sharon was able to give me a holistic picture of what was preventing my body from functioning in an optimal way. She trusted me to understand the complexity of the system which helped me to trust my own instincts about what might be happening. These are the kinds of relationships that are ideal in the health care setting. And I feel privileged to have found one for myself!

I came to Sharon over a year and a half ago with chronic insomnia, and though I was using prescription sleep aids regularly, I still rarely slept through the night. Unlike the many other doctors I have seen for my insomnia, Sharon did not ask me to shape my life around my treatments, but rather, took tremendous care to work with me to integrate my treatments into my life. When I started acupuncture, I was afraid that I would become reliant on my treatments, as I had on my prescribed medications, but after three months, when I took a break from treatments to test this theory, I found that my quality of sleep was still vastly improved. I now see Sharon on a "maintenance" treatment plan, and with her help, I continue to see a huge difference in the quality of my sleep. Over the past year and a half, Sharon has helped me to sleep through a stressful job transition, an apartment search, and innumerable small crisis that would have previously kept me tossing and turning for weeks on end!

As a 31 year-old man recently diagnosed with ADHD, I was desperate to find a treatment to help my focus and concentration without going on medication. Thankfully, visiting Sharon Yeung has helped me find a solution. She has prescribed a combined treatment of weekly acupuncture with daily Chinese herbal supplements and I'm very satisfied with the way that I'm feeling, concentrating and GETTING THINGS DONE! Furthermore her ability to help me set goals, and think of manageable ways to achieve them has made the treatment even more successful.

I went to see Sharon when I was four weeks postpartum. I had been committed to breastfeeding my new baby and was devastated when I lost my milk a week after he was born. I followed the recommendations of my pediatrician and a lactation consultant, but felt that I could be doing more. Throughout our consultations, Sharon was thoroughly professional and delightful. While I was in her office, she also performed massage on my son to aid his digestion and to help him process his vaccines. My son is now nearly eight months old and I am happy to say he is still breastfeeding exclusively!

I first came to see Sharon in 2004 after doing several open-water swims, including one around Manhattan (in the East and Hudson Rivers) and the Boston Harbor. I wasn't feeling myself, but there was nothing my western doctor could find that was causing my malaise. Within weeks of seeing Sharon I was back to my old self, full of energy, and waking up rested and ready to go, but my love for acupuncture and Chinese medicine had barely begun. I have continued to see Sharon regularly over the last 3 years for preventative healthcare and my life-long pursuit of general wellbeing and happiness! Whether it's the aches and pains of too much swimming, the stress of law school and now my legal work, the winter blues, or just a moment to relax in the middle of New York City, I cherish my time under Sharon's care and thank her for all she gives me.

I have seen several acupuncturists for my bad back, and Sharon has been the only one who can provide relief. She took the time to really understand my problem and get me back to doing activities I love.

I first came to see Sharon in 2008. I had a number of health problems including allergies, insomnia, and high levels of stress and anxiety from my work situation. I often found myself lying awake at night unable to sleep. It seemed that the less sleep I got, the more other health problems began to arise. However, I did not want to have to take sleeping or other medications to get through this difficult time in my life. Eastern medicine seemed like my last chance. When I first came to see Sharon, she took a very thorough initial evaluation, asking lots of questions about my general health and history. The whole process was so comprehensive---very different from other doctors I have been to before. Sharon quickly determined that certain systems in my body, like digestion, were in a sense "victims" of my stress and anxiety. She first worked to get those back in check by administering weekly acupuncture treatments and then herbal medicine. Sharon worked closely with me until I felt like my old self again. She is very knowledgeable and really looks at the body as a whole. She is also an extremely caring and compassionate practitioner. I would highly recommend her to others!

Sharon Yeung is a healer. She has helped me enormously with my discomfort from Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Her custom herbal prescriptions and dietary recommendations have almost eliminated the abdominal spasms and bloating that I used to experience. Through these remedies and her application of acupuncture Sharon has not only aided my digestion, but has also been able to contain an ovarian cyst from growing larger, and has given me relief from my periodic bouts of depression. In addition, Sharon follows an intuitive and holistic approach through her practice of Chinese medicine. She possesses a kind and sweet nature. It is a pleasure to work with her and I always look forward to our sessions.

Although I was initially skeptical of acupuncture, I came to Sharon based on the suggestion of my father and a very positive recommendation from a friend who had gone to her previously. I was dealing with sinus, allergy and immune system issues. I had gotten sick four times in one month and was feeling so run down I was having difficulty functioning at an acceptable level in school and at work. Sharon made me feel very comfortable from the moment I walked into her office, and spent a lot of time with me at my initial visit taking down my history, lifestyle and learning about my current health issues. She is incredibly knowledgeable about her practice and will freely and eruditely answer any questions you might have. Her approach takes into account the whole person and is very patient-centered. But, most importantly, after about 3 months of treatment, I felt immeasurably better and have not gotten sick since. I can recommend Sharon with full confidence and without any reservation.

After returning from Belize, I developed a condition that, over time, began to attack my nervous system. Many doctors visits and several tests yielded no diagnosis or treatment for tingling in my fingers, toes, and nose, twitching in my face, and general weakness. I sought treatment from Sharon after feeling frustrated by the lack of help I was getting from western practitioners while my condition continued to worsen. I was immediately impressed by Sharon. She spent a significant amount of time working to understand my symptoms and the root cause. She asked many questions, made it clear that she truly cared about treating me successfully, and made me feel very comfortable with the acupuncture process. During my first visit, she told me that I should experience some relief after the treatment, and I did! Sharon also prescribed Chinese herbs, which immediately helped improve my symptoms and energy level. My friends and family even noticed a huge difference in my appearance and wellbeing. Over the course of a few weeks of treatment, my symptoms continued to improve and I began to feel like myself again. Thanks to Sharon, I feel better, am back to my active lifestyle, and have resumed my workout routine. I am amazed by the power of Chinese medicine and believe Sharon is a wonderful practitioner. I will continue to see her and highly recommend her to others.

When I first saw Sharon, I had several complaints (IBS, acid reflux, anxiety) and a general feeling of malaise. I am delighted to say, under her care, I made significant improvement and turned the corner on the path to recovery. I feel more balanced, healthy, strong, vibrant and happy. I regained myself. What also impressed me so much about Sharon was her compassion, dedication, warmth and personal touch. She made you feel as if you were her only client. Always on top of your condition, Sharon spent a good amount of time discussing your issues, symptoms, concerns and feelings prior to each treatment. She also was quick to respond by phone or email to answer any questions or follow up when necessary. Sharon Yeung is a practitioner who excels in her profession. She brings an holistic perspective in caring for her patients and a true gift for healing.

I sought treatment from Sharon for a back injury. A few weeks prior to seeing her, I had fallen from a tree onto my back. I was experiencing a lot of pain and discomfort and my back had gone into minor spasms which were effecting the alignment of my skeleton. I went to Sharon in the hopes that I could release some of the muscles that were contracting and also help with the healing of a small ligament that had been sprained as a result of the fall. Sharon gave me acupuncture treatment as well as some hands on work. She not only addressed my back but also offered treatment and advice on other aspects of my general health and wellness. She was thorough and clear and completely present. Through her open and supportive presence and thorough treatment, I was able to completely let go physically and emotionally during our session. This was key to my healing process. She has a wonderful way with her clients and keen insight into what treatments would be most effective. I highly recommend her, she is a treasure.

As a commodities trader, I have a very intense and stressful job. After trying several different techniques for reducing anxiety I found Sharon Yeung. Not only has Sharon helped my anxiety levels, she has managed to make a major impact on the whole "balance" of my life which thus has had a very positive effect on my trading and personal life. Her personal attention is surpassed by none. Acupuncture and herbal remedies have far surpassed any other types of treatment I have tried in the past. In addition, my overall health, both physically and mentally has vastly improved. Thank you Sharon for EVERYTHING!!!

Regular acupuncture sessions with Sharon have changed my relationship to my body and overall health, and I have become more attuned to how to identify and take better care of myself in a holistic manner. Over the past year, with Sharon's support, I have been able to finally quit smoking cigarettes (which is something I have unsuccessfully tried to do innumerable times during my fifteen year addiction), have seen improvements in specific health conditions (e.g. allergies/asthma), and have generally been in better mental and physical health. Sharon is thorough, creative, patient, and nonjudgmental and is clearly invested in her patient's well-being.

I first went to see Sharon Yeung from reading about her in New York Magazine and; since I had always been interested in acupuncture, decided to see her for a consultation. I found Sharon to be extremely thorough and caring; and when discussing my medical history, felt I should give acupuncture a try for conditions I was resigned to enduring for the rest of my life, such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Insomnia, as well as heavy nosebleeds. I had never experienced acupuncture before and was quite surprised that I didn’t doze off, and was even energized when I left the office. The herbal treatment is very soothing; and now I take two different formulas: one for digestion and the other for insomnia. Sharon also gave me helpful advice about diet and stress management. Over the few months I have been seeing her, my nosebleeds have disappeared, my digestion has improved; and I have stopped taking medications for gastritis and all but one for sleeplessness. I feel that TCM has improved my quality of life; and, in the stressful job situation in which I find myself, my level of stress is surprisingly subdued so that I can function much better. My nails are also growing! Thank you, Sharon, for your help.

Acupuncture has been extremely helpful in my healing process. I was diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis, which caused paralysis and loss of sensation in both my legs, incontinence in my bladder and severe spasms. I went through chemotherapy and was taking lots of medication to restore my health. Throughout my recovery, acupuncture and herbs helped relieve my pain, discomfort, and reduce my spasms. The acupuncture treatments enabled me to relax and move more fluidly as movement in my limbs started to return. I feel that it was instrumental in helping my body to heal so that I could walk again. Sharon Yeung is my practitioner. She is a compassionate, friendly and knowledgeable practitioner who listens with her head and her heart. She provided caring support to me during my recovery.
