From her Brooklyn Based practice, Christine offers a variety of ancients healing methods through in-house or remote sessions:
In-House Sessions:
ACUPUNCTURE
Originating in ancient China, acupuncture balances energy flow in the body promoting physical, mental & spiritual health by using tiny needles to access specific points on the patient.
People often asked if acupuncture hurts. The truth is, it can be uncomfortable for some patients. It can be very liberating as well. Years of discomfort or imbalance are often reversed in just a few treatments.

ESSENTIAL OILS
This treatment pairs acupuncture points with essential oils to target specific patient needs. A drop of oil is placed on specific points on your body and held for about one minute.
The oils work to stimulate and balance your body, mind and soul and can be used with or without needles. If you are nervous about needles, the oils are a great way to begin. They calm and relax your nervous system, creating a space of comfort for you to receive treatment.
YOGA & PILATES BODY ALIGNMENT
Pain is often the body’s first signal that there is a lack of flow. Acupuncture and essential oils will get things flowing again. Once this flow or life prana is moving more freely, stretching and alignment training can help patients with keeping things moving. Christine often works with patients on their own alignment, teaching them how to move and how to continue “self-treatment” post session.
If more time is needed, Yoga and Pilates specific treatment session are available to learn how to move and stretch the body in ways that alleviate pain and create space and flow in the body and mind.
GUA SHA // SCRAPING
Gua sha is an ancient healing technique whereby oil is first applied to the skin on the treatment area, then a smooth-edged instrument is used by the acupuncturist to apply strokes on the skin. Usually the treatment area is the neck, shoulders and back parallel to the spine, but can be done anywhere on the body. The stroking results in raised redness on the skin surface..
Gua Sha works to break up stagnation, promote the smooth flow of blood in the treated area and ultimately relieve pain.
Remote Sessions:
60 minute remote Alchemical Yoga session
In this 60 minute session we will work on aligning your body, mind and spirit using, Hatha Yoga, Acupuncture points, Essential oils and Theta Healing.
Essential oils move tension in the mind. Yoga moves stagnation in the body and Theta does the rest! Theta Healing is a form of energy work that uses Theta waves.Theta is the wave we experience in deep meditation or REM sleep. The idea behind Theta Healing is to use that brain wave to help find and release out old stuck beliefs that no longer serve us and replace them with higher thought patterns, taking affirmations to the next level:)!
This session includes a 15min phone consultation prior to our first session. In that time I can find out what you want to work on during your session and you can ask me any questions you may have.
60 Minute Theta Healing
Theta healing is a form of energy work that uses Theta waves. The ThetaHealing technique is based on the idea that the beliefs in a person's conscious and unconscious mind directly impact their emotional well-being, which may impact their physical health. Theta is the wave of energy you experience in deep meditation or REM sleep. Using that brain wave the patient is able to find and release out old stuck beliefs and thoughts that no longer serve and replace them with higher thought patterns, taking affirmations to the next level:)! Theta Healing can be done in person or remote via phone or zoom.
Our session will begin the way my in house sessions do. Asking you what you would like to focus on. During our sessions I might suggest using an essential oil on an acupuncture point. I find the oils and acupuncture points fold in nicely to the theta work.
30 Minute Essential Oils Consultation
Everyone loves essential oils but what do you do with them? In this 30min session we will curate your own personal acupuncture treatment using essential oils and acupuncture points. You will learn the best oils for calming the body and mind, moving tension (physical and existential) and grounding. I will teach you how to apply the oils safely and where to apply them for the best results. At the end of the session you will have your own personal treatment protocol that you can do any time you want.
What Clients Have Said About Remote Sessions with Christine:
“At first, I was skeptical about a virtual session with Christine. I have appreciated her in-person work so much and I did not know how it would be possible to accomplish the same kinds of results virtually. I was happily surprised to find that virtual sessions were really wonderful. Much of the session was similar to in-person, though the needles were virtual and I applied the oils to particular points myself. Christine worked with insight, sensitivity, and skill, and my muscle and back pain was much improved and so was my energy, after each session. I learned a lot and have been able to use oils with greater understanding and benefit. I highly recommend trying!”
“I worked with Christine remotely for about a year. The remote sessions I had with her were some of the most powerful experiences I have had. Sometimes the energetic shift was subtle, other times it was seismic. Christines’s intuition is extraordinary as her expertise in Acupuncture and Chinese medicine. Remote sessions do require and openness, as they are not traditional; however, time and again, I was deeply affected by Christine’s guidance and her ability to promote healing and growth. ”
