Healing Acupuncture Meets Modern Luxury at Ora

Recently, I took a trip to Ora Acupuncture to relax, unwind and alleviate my sore muscles from the dancing I have been doing lately. This is where acupuncture meets luxury in every regard. The service was great, and the experience was amazing from start to finish. Ora offers a healing escape from the everyday life of NYC and brings traditional techniques of ancient Chinese medicine into a modern and convenient experience custom for everyone, while provididing a holistic wellness experience which is as effective, efficient and luxurious, in finding optimal balance.  

First, I began my journey in a calm, relaxing space. Then I was taken into this cute, private treatment room for my consultation with a licensed acupuncturist. The rooms are clean and well equipped. Each room has the signature circular mirror that says “Say ‘Chi’”.

We reviewed my health goals, and she created a customized session for me and my optimal health. Then, we started work focused on chi. The needles were carefully inserted into my body and were left about 25 minutes for my system balance out its energy and alleviate soreness. Going into the appointment, I wasn’t sure if I would experience discomfort. However, I quickly learned that acupuncture does not hurt, and each needle is as thin as a hair.

Teas that are recommended at the end of the session

After the session, my acupuncturist provided a recommendation for a tonic and tea at the tea bar, to support the healing process and balance and tone my body. Throughout the whole process, the vibes were great, and I walked out feeling much more balanced and relaxed as a result of the blissful experience from start to finish.

Acupuncture treats your entire system and can be utilized for many reasons such as digestion, headaches, or musculoskeletal issues, though you don’t need a specific problem to be treated.

The number of appointments differ per person and per treatment. Ora provides a variety of treatments including traditional acupuncture and facial acupuncture, while also offering add-ons such as cupping, gua sha and e-stim, and finish with a recommendation for a tea or tonic at the tea bar to support the healing process.
