“I work in beauty/wellness as the Beauty Director of Harper’s Bazaar and also the co-founder/co-host of Fat Mascara, the beauty podcast. I have met and worked with a lot of bodyworkers/healers/acupuncturists. Lorraine stands out from the rest. She’s friendly, patient, doesn’t rush into any one treatment (she has a lot of tools in her kit), listens to what you’re saying, and thinks big picture. I always left her studio feeling calm and relaxed. Her space feels cozy and intimate, neither snooty or clinical. Another plus: She is invested in what you do at home. I regularly use the exercises she taught me for my neck/shoulders to manage my pain, and they work.”

“Lorraine is truly heaven sent, and her incredible technical skills and kind heart have brought new hope and inspiration to my chronic pain journey.

I am hypermobile, with a history of severe low back pain/si joint dysfunction/ general muscle dysfunction. I’m a complicated case to put it lightly, and i’ve spend many many years of my life looking for practitioners who can actually help.

Lorraine’s acupuncture, which combines traditional chinese acupuncture and herbal knowledge with sports acupuncture/dry needling/trigger point releases, has helped me to release muscles that cause severe pain flares, regain mobility, and generally feel much more relaxed during periods of severe pain.

She is truly a healer in every sense of the word, and has a sensitivity,
empathy, and gentle bedside manner that is deeply calming, and rare to find. I am so relieved to have found her and excited to make acupuncture a part of my life and healing.

If you deal with pain and are on the fence, I don’t think you have much to lose by seeing her.”

“I found Lorraine through Google and went to her because of the glowing reviews, which are all true! Lorraine has taught me an immense amount about different health conditions I have been having trouble with- and it’s positively affected my skin (which is now glowing with much less acne), my fatigue, my headaches, clenched jaw, neck, and back pain, as well as my mood! I have been to a doctor who has repeated advice almost word for word that Lorraine had already given to me. Lorraine has been guiding me towards massive improvements in my physical and mental health- and I recommend her to all of my closest family and friends (who feel the same way about her as I do). She’s a singularly fantastic resource for anyone who seeks improvement in their health.”

“A New Body!
I’m an athlete and martial artist who has tried every single modality one can think of, from ART to Guasha, from PT to E-Stim, from Thai massage to cryo... every time, my relief was only temporary. Enter Lorraine; after only three relaxing and informative sessions I’ve had lasting results the likes of which I’ve only ever dreamed. She was attentive and helpful, and I left with a new understanding of my physical body. A true game-changer! Thank you Lorraine!”

“An Athlete’s Savior
For years I thought I would need hip replacements before the age of 40; also, I’d accepted the fact that my hands went numb every night in bed, attributing it to getting old. Years of pounding my body in sports had left my body with imbalances and inefficiencies, and Lorraine has been a massive help to me getting through fourteen hours on my feet daily and heavy workouts. Just like you’d maintain your car, maintaining your body is of paramount importance, with acupuncture a vital ingredient.”

“Best best best
I’ve tried so so many acupuncturists and thought I wrote the whole thing off after basically never being even remotely impressed. Lorraine barely touched me for the first time when I realized she was IT. Her touch, knowledge, care, patience, wisdom, kindness, all of it. Couldn’t recommend more. Go see her!”

“Lorraine is phenomenal. I saw her on referral from a co worker, and have happily been following up ever since. I have plantar fascitis in both feet, and no amount of stretching or over the counter treatments ever really helped. I walked out of my first appointment with Lorraine and couldn’t figure out what was different- then I realized my heel and arch didn’t hurt when I walked for the first time , in literally- years. I have been back for several treatments and am steadily improving, as well as seeing differences in my back pain and how I walk. I cant speak highly enough about treatment with Lorraine- run to her (if you can)!”

“Best Decision I Made in 2021
Hands down best decision I made in 2021. So much more flexible given my trips here. Would recommend for anyone!!!”

“Lorraine is absolutely amazing & a miracle worker!
As a ballet dancer, I had several issues with my body. I had developed pain in my feet & tendons and I have had swelling in one ankle that hasn’t gone down in years. I have seen my PT several times, but it didn’t help. One visit with Lorraine and she released the swelling and all the pain in my feet & legs!! It was nothing short of a miracle! She also was able to activate my quads, abs & lats which I have never been able to feel fully engage in years! I feel like I have a new body to dance with!”

“She gets it!
I value Lorraine’s expertise immensely. She always knows what to address, even when I don’t know where the pain is coming from myself! She is genuine, compassionate, and honest. She takes everything I say seriously and she truly cares about her clients overall well-being. I always leave feeling better mentally and physically. Highly recommend!!!”

“I’m so impressed!!
I’ve had 2-sessions with Lorraine so far and I am very pleased with my improvement. My fascia was injured after foot surgery and Lorraine has been able to help me with pain issues and getting life and movement back into my foot and toe. Lorraine really knows how to locate the problematic areas and get your body back to working order again. She’s very attentive and knowledgeable and makes me feel very safe and comfortable. I’m very grateful to her and look forward to more improvement.”

“Magic touch!
After suffering for over a year with pain and discomfort after an injury, Lorraine did what she does best. I never had dry needling before so I didn’t know why to expect. After 3 treatments my pain and muscle tension has decreased significantly. So much so that I am able to start slowly exercising again. I couldn’t be happier with my results!

”

“Intuitive, Results Driven Care
My first session with Lorraine was incredibly encouraging. I came to her with a range of issues from TMJ related jaw pain, stagnant lymph nodes, and work related neck & back pain. Her approach was multi-faceted & intuitive, targeting other areas of concern I was not aware of, and painting a larger picture of how each issue is related to the other. I finally found some relief immediately following treatment & slept incredibly well that evening. I will be back!”

“So thankful for Lorraine!
Have been seeing Lorraine for years. No matter what ails me (back pain, insomnia, stress, etc.), she ALWAYS makes me feel so much better. I used to have to go to a chiropractor every other week because of severe shoulder/neck tension. After 1 1/2 years of that, I decided to try acupuncture and am SO glad I did. She made me feel better in one session! I feel so sad when I learn that people have never tried acupuncture - it can be so wonderful with the right person. HIGHLY recommend Lorraine.”

“Saved me from my Migraines
The thought of acupuncture always scared me until my first session. I can’t thank Lorraine enough. I was suffering from debilitating migraines almost every single day and it was starting to affect my work (and social) life. After 2 sessions I saw an extreme difference in my life. She worked closely with me to get to the bottom of my health issues and I have been living a much healthier life as a result. Lorraine is the best!”

“The BEST!
Lorraine is amazing! Like a magic healer! She is very aware of how the human body works and what is needed to bring it back to your normal. If you have a problem with how you are feeling, do not hesitate to contact Lorraine to help heal you.”

“Lorraine has been a lifesaver!
I first went to go see Lorraine after I was suffering from what was becoming chronic neck and upper back pain. After spending a needless amount of money on a new bed/pillows and gadgets, my friend recommended I go see Lorraine. Just after 1 session Lorraine was able to offer me a relief I hadn’t felt in years. I continue to go see Lorraine to help keep my body in balance- she has been instrumental in helping get better sleep, reduce my stress and anxiety and PMS symptoms. Highly recommend her!”

“Thank you!
I cannot adequately express how much I have both enjoyed and benefitted from my sessions with Lorraine. She is a gift! I had some nerve damage in my left hand which left me with limited movement and feeling. She was able to help the feeling slowly return through both acupuncture and electrical stimulation after only two sessions. She also was able to pinpoint my stressors in my neck and shoulder so I would avoid future damage. I am beyond thrilled and highly recommend her !”

“I really cannot say enough amazing things about Lorraine. I have been dealing with panic attacks, anxiety, headaches, stress and back upper back and neck pain for the past few years. I have been going to acupuncture for a few years now, but it wasn’t until I started with Lorraine last winter that I really started noticing a huge difference. She has really helped relieve my headaches, neck and back pain and my panic and anxiety is so much more under control now with a combination of acupuncture and cupping.

What I also love about Lorraine is that she really is thinking about your total and complete wellness. I know that is part of Eastern Medicine, but I really feel like she has a great way of taking in all the information you are able to provide and really making some amazing suggestions for what else you can do, outside of acupuncture, to help you feel your best. She is always offering other suggestions of products she has found, she knows works for her, etc.

So, even if my headaches and panic are under control, she can help with sleeping, digestion, tightness, etc. It is just wonderful to have someone that I trust to work with on my overall health and wellness.

While it is obviously so important to feel results, I also really enjoy Lorraine as a person. She is funny, personable, understanding and so very kind and helpful. Her office is super convenient and is located is a wonderful serene space. I don’t think I could recommend Lorraine any more.”

“Great!
Lorraine is thorough, passionate about what she does, and really listens to you in order to help you heal. After seeing Lorraine only twice so far, my body feels looser and I’m able to run more comfortably than I have in months. I highly recommend Lorraine!”

“So for the longest time, I had been trying out different doctors, medications, because I have been feeling so not myself or healthy. Even though I eat healthy and do my best Lorraine was thinking it was something else. We did some acupuncture and cupping and she recommended some supplements to take and wow. I feel like my old self again. I am a firm believer in acupuncture instead of filling my body with unnecessary medication, I feel like its been hiding it and not actually treating it. I went to someone else before and they weren’t very gentle nor effective. Lorraine knew exactly how to deal with me. She said “I know exactly what to do” and meant it! Anyway, the space is so beautiful and calming. I went in feeling anxious and panicky and walked out floating on a crowd ready to deal with the crazy city of New York. Cannot wait for my next session next week!”

“Keeps me in the Game!!
Lorraine helped me regain full range of motion of my left arm after I had developed a slight rotator cuff tear and thanks to her, I ended up NOT needing surgery! She’s also alleviated a longtime painful heel spur problem and other pains! Lorraine has also spotted problems just from the way I’ve walked into her office! My very physically demanding job really tries to take its toll but fortunately I have Lorraine in my corner to fix me up and keep me in the game! Amazing aesthetician, too!”

“Addressed the Root Cause Rather than Symptoms
I have chronic stiffness/poor posture due to a decade of office work. Lorraine has helped ease pain and improve mobility overall. She used a more holistic approach rather than targeting a specific symptom like a stiff neck or a trigger finger. I found this very effective and illuminating since I’ve been getting very little out of other therapies. She is very knowledgeable and direct. Lorraine also sent me home with targeted exercises to help me be more proactive. Thank you!”

“Acupuncture is the best! I’m a runner and over the years my knees have gotten really bad. I thought I wouldn’t be able to run anymore because it was only getting worse. I finally gave acupuncture a shot and I can’t even believe how much it has saved me! I’m very squeamish with needles but Lorraine is so gentle she made it very easy and comfortable. She was very patient with me and really calmed me down before we started. Also gave me a lot of tips to help with my stretching which has been extremely helpful! Thanks for everything Lorraine! You’re the best :)”

“Effective and relaxing cosmetic treatment
I’ve only visited Lorraine twice so far, but noticed immediate and sustained results for fine lines. She was very knowledgeable and informative about a range of treatments and issues related to my skin. She helped me devise a unique plan based on a combination of nutrition, acupuncture, products and tools, that will help me build on and maintain my results. The acupuncture had the added benefit of being highly relaxing, so that I felt rested and rejuvenated when I left.”

“TRULY TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCE!
Lorraine is thoughtful, methodical, understanding, patient and has the most amazing touch. I have been going for acupuncture regularly to address some health issues, as well as tightness from running and a standing daily routine. Words cannot accurately describe how amazing I feel after just one session with her.. she releases all tension in hamstrings, hip flexors, quads, lower back and other places I didn’t even know I was holding tension! As for health issues they have all been addressed and on a quick road to recovery thanks to Lorraine’s expertise.
She really converted me from a skeptic to an absolute devotee!
Even if you’re curious, mildly hesitant, dying to try-any and all of the above-you MUST go!!!
”

“Lorraine is an incredible esthetician. I have had only the best treatments with her throughout the years. I was so happy to hear that she finally had her own space in this beautiful facility. Upon entering I was greeted with kindness and ease.
The facility is clean, organized, and evokes a mood of wellness and healing. I have never had a better Brazilian wax- painless, efficient, and no drama. I also experienced Lorraine’s facial for the first time here and was pleasantly treated with organic sensitive products.
My skin looks and feels invigorated with life. I bought packages and will be returning as soon as necessary. I always feel comfortable in Lorraine’s presence. It is very important for me that I am able to relax in this kind of environment. It doesn’t get much better! Enjoy”

“Fixed everything
Been painting and moving, and she managed to fix everything from my legs up through my neck and shoulders.”

“Amazing acupuncture & Acne facial!!!
This acupuncture is Magic!!! My shoulders and neck always hurt really bad. Lorraine’s acupuncture freed me from pain. After that, I slept well and the pain got much better. She’s so kind sweet It’s so nice to see her about twice a month. Can’t wait for the next treatment.”

“Thank you Lorraine!
Lorraine is AMAZING! Lorraine’s style of Trigger Point Acupuncture and other Acupuncture modalities have been life changing for me. My joints have never felt better and my inflammation has decreased tremendously. My overall quality of life has improved and I have limited pain throughout the day. Lorraine has always been kind and supportive during a flare up and I have left her office feeling so much relief! Lorraine is also just overall AWESOME to speak with and has a wonderful heart of gold! ”

“Lorraine is an amazing acupuncturist. Her passion for helping her patients is felt on every visit. Lorraine really understood what I was coming in for, empathized with, and better yet, got me great results. I would trust her with future problems I may run into, from the common cold to back spasms and beyond.”

“Life changing!
Amazing work. Feeling phenomenal! Loved my session and even though I don’t live in the city, I’ll definitely be back for more!”

“LORRAINE THE PAIN KILLER
I see Lorraine whenever I have muscular pain. It can be my back, neck, plantar fasciitis , or leg pains. After only a few sessions, sometimes even just one, I feel much better. The last time my plantar problem struck, I couldn’t even walk from my office to the bathroom. I took a cab to her and was able to walk back to my office. i highly recommend Lorraine for all of your aches and pains”

“I always look forward to my sessions!
I had a nasty flare up of my plantar fasciitis about 5 months ago after a trip. What appealed to me about Lorraine when I researched acupuncturists is that she suffered from it herself. She is a delightful person who is utterly committed to what she does and knows how to get straight to “business” offering the maximum output from your session. My pain levels have decreased significantly and now she is also helping with my chronic neck and shoulder tension. Highly recommend!”

“What a fabulous experience—I feel like a new woman! I just had my first microdermabrasion facial with LED and I am just glowing (literally!). I have never had such a relaxing and nurturing skincare experience before. From the moment I walked into the suite I felt calm and super relaxed as it very zen, quiet and clean. Lorraine was very professional and thorough, listened to my concerns and evaluated my needs, and gave me a detailed and personalized treatment. The products were high end organic and my skin looked and felt amazing. I highly, highly recommend Lorraine.”

“I found Lorraine on the recommendation of a client of mine, and her practice at the time was down the block from my work. I had never really thought much about it until sustaining a back injury from weight lifting and I decided that I would try it out.
It was my first time for acupuncture and I didn’t know what to expect, but I was very very very impressed with the results!
Lorraine has a very calming demeanor, explained what it was that she was doing, and has a very gentle hand. When someone is inserting needles all over your body, it can be a bit nerve wracking, but I found it painless and relaxing. I went a total of 4 times over the course of a month, and it was easily the best part of my week. She would do specific spot work on my muscle injury and release all the tension that I was holding (yes it was in my booty!). Each week we would work on a different area depending on how I was feeling.
She really knows what she is doing and she seems very passionate about acupuncture and it’s ability to heal. I’m a skeptic, and I am totally sold!
I have since healed, but I would continue to go back to Lorraine in a heartbeat- in fact...I should call her right now! Do not hesitate to call her for your needs. She told me she likes to work with sports injuries, and I can see why- she really is amazing!”

“Experience
My first time doing acupuncture, and I had an amazing experience! Lorraine made me feel very comfortable, and relaxed. Definitely recommend”

“I cannot say enough positive things about this place! Clean, efficient, calm and relaxing while also being mindful of your time.
Lorraine is a wonderful, very experienced esthetician and never tries to force services or products on you. She is a great person who always takes into account the customers needs as well as their hesitations and previous history. Super fast when she needs to be (ie: virtually painless) but also willing to take an extra 5 minutes to offer advice from her very knowledgable base re: mental and physical health.”

“Lorraine Lavenita is the best
Lorraine can tell you what’s going on in your body just by looking at you. She knows every muscle and function of the anatomy. She has put a stop to my migraines. Highly recommend for whatever is ailing you.”

“No more aching back
I’ve been seeing Lorraine to help ease the muscles in my upper back which get wrecked from stress and sitting at a computer most days. I thought I would check out acupuncture and am SO glad I did and that I found Lorraine. She is very thorough and really listens to what you have to say. I now see her every 2 weeks and really just go because it is such an enjoyable, relaxing experience. I’m hooked!”

“Lorraine is a gem! She is an expert on skincare, and she shares her knowledge freely. She will guide you to what will work for you without trying to up-sell you on her services or products (which happen to be awesome — she’s just not pushy about them!). I’m currently recovering from some health issues that have taken a toll on my skin, and Lorraine made me feel cared for, nurtured, and on the road to recovery. I’ll definitely be back!”

“Was lucky enough to book a last minute appointment with Lorraine for a Gua sha facial!! I have been trying to get one for ages so I had a lot of anticipation built up for this experience. Lorraine more than exceeded my expectations!
Her treatment room is like a little oasis of wellness. She is super knowledgeable about this modality and walked me thru everything that she was doing yet also created a very serene experience. I almost fell asleep!
The results of her facial were amazing! I had smoother skin and looked very refreshed. I am totally addicted and can’t wait to go back to nyc for another appointment.
Bonus- she shared with me some pro tips for stretching and acupuncture that I desperately needed.
Extra bonus - you can also book a Gua sha facial class with her so you can continue the practice at home.”

“Best acupuncture facial
I am absolutely in love with the acupuncture facial. Lorainne is so Profesional and experience! I got my facial and right away I saw a lifting effect! CRAZY!!! I WILL HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO ANYBODY”

“Facial Acupuncture
I decided to try facial acupuncture to add to my anti-aging quest. I have only had one treatment so far, but I truly loved it! My facial tension was gone and made it my face appear lifted! I can’t wait to do it again. Definitely a great alternative to to invasive beauty treatments.”

“Amazing!!
I got the Ultimate Glow AcuFacial and it made a noticeable difference in my skin and fine lines immediately. It’s crazy how much tighter and soft it made my skin. I will be doing this over and over again, thank you Lorraine!!”

“Wonderful!
I cannot recommend Lorraine enough (and have recommended her to friends)! She has transformed my skin and her acupuncture on my tight jaw did wonders for tension and my appearance. She has given me beautiful natural results, where I look like a younger, rejuvenated version of myself.”

“AMAZING!!!!
Lorraine is phenomenal!!! My face looked and felt lifted immediately after getting the Restore Vitality Gua Sha Facial. It was shocking that her natural facial lift could visibly make such a difference.
After my first session, I immediately scheduled another appointment and booked one for my mom. Not only is Lorraine an awesome person who genuinely cares about her client’s, she’s an expert at what she does and is the best!”

“Simply the best...
Lorraine is a life saver! I went to her on a recommendation from a co-worker and I can admit that I was skeptical (even with all the great things I was hearing about acupuncture). But after just three appointments, I realized the chronic pain I was feeling was practically gone! Not only has she helped me manage my pain, bit she goes the extra mile to help you out with any other issue, even if it’s small. Most importantly, she makes you feel comfortable. She’s such a star!”

“She is a UNICORN!
Having tried Lorraine’s Gua Sha facial, I’ll never let anyone else touch my face. She is a master at what she does! I also had intense neck pain for over a year and she suggested acupuncture. I was scared to try it but glad she finally convinced me. Of course, she healed that too. To be able to take care of both health and skin under one roof is amazing. I can’t recommend Lorraine enough. I sleep better, I’m not in pain and my skin glows.”

“Wonderful experience & results
Lorraine helped release tightness in my shoulders/trap that I couldn’t get from PT/massage alone. I’d been dealing with months of discomfort and even after doing PT/massage/appropriate exercises things weren’t really correcting. Lorraine definitely helped address the tightness which allowed my muscles to return to their proper positions so my PT work will be much more efficient going forward. She made the entire experience very pleasant, especially given my fear and anxiety around needles.”

“I am SO HAPPY I found Lorraine! I came to her for TMJ discomfort and after one session I felt like a new person. I wasn’t grinding my teeth at night anymore and I don’t notice my jaw popping! Her acupuncture work is fantastic and she also adds a massage on to her TMJ clients that is super relaxing. I finally feel like I’ve found a way to cure my TMJ discomfort and plan on coming back to Lorraine for just general acupuncture as well!”

“Caring and attentive acupuncture expert
Lorraine is the best in the business. She came highly recommended, and I’m thankful to be her client. I was suffering from targeted pain/discomfort in two areas of my body (my shoulder and my foot); Lorraine took the time to understand the pain I was feeling and used her expert techniques to help me find relief. Plus, she makes me feel comfortable and describes her techniques along the way. As someone who is active and wants to take care of my body, Lorraine’s services are exactly what I need.”

“Feeling better after 1 session!
Lorraine came highly recommended to me from a close friend who suggested I try acupuncture for recurring sinus issues. I was in awful pain—chronic headaches, swelling, congestion—and having to take antibiotics practically back-to-back. I came in for an initial session and Lorraine was so kind, personable and really thorough in her assessment. She addressed my whole body and treated the main sinus issue—I felt better already just during the session! Highly recommend!”

“I had been dealing with residual mobility issues from an ankle sprain a few months back and Lorraine’s magical touch cured it, not to mention my perennial neck pain from my desk job and a few other issues I didn’t even knew I had. I feel like a million bucks. Highly recommend.”

“Chronic back pain gone!
After years of visiting various chiropractors and spending over $1500 out of pocket, I decided to give acupuncture a shot and thank god I did. Lorraine is amazing at her craft, highly intuitive and intelligent, after just a few sessions, my back pain was gone. I couldn’t believe it! If you struggle with chronic back pain and have tried everything, please see Lorraine! You won’t regret it!!”

“Lorraine is amazing! I’ve been going to her for facials for the last 6 months in preparation for my wedding. She is so knowledgable and is able to use everything she knows to take a more holistic approach to skincare. She is up on all the latest skincare science and gadgets, but is able to combine that with all natural products to result in glowing skin. My skin is always glowing after one of her facials and it’s healthier and breaks out less overall. I highly recommend Lorraine!”

“Instant relief paired with long term solutions
Lorraine has unlocked and healed different parts of my body from injury, stress, lack of sleep and beyond through dry needling. I thought I was in tune with my body but her sessions experience have brought me to a new level of understanding that allows me to live with less pain, resolve issues quickly, and learn what I need to do differently in the future. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

“Better than Medicine
I went to at least 7 specialists in 2 years and tried every procedure until I saw Lorraine. She immediately located the cause of my injury and was able to treat it. I am a lifelong believer in her services.”

“Lifesaver!
Lorraine is a Lifesaver! She is an incredibly thoughtful, caring, and knowledgable healer that I can’t live without!”

“Acupuncture
An incredibly thorough physical examination that identified the root cause of my terrible lower back pain and treated issues I was unaware that I even had! The result was after a month of terrible lower back pain and visits to three different doctors (chiro other acupuncturists) 95% plus of my pain had been relived so I happy I found u!!”

“I originally found Lorraine when I was looking for jaw pain relief. After just 2 sessions, she has not only immensely helped that pain, but found the sources of old knee and hip pains. Lorraine is thoughtful in her treatments, and I am thrilled with the results so far!”

“I’ve been getting acupuncture for the last few months with Lorraine and just got my first Restore Vitality facial today. My skin looks SO AMAZING! I actually can’t believe it. She specialized in pain management, so her acupuncture has been saving my life. Especially before and after flights, which totally kill my neck and back. She is so sweet, unbelievably knowledgeable, and extremely talented. I’m buying facial gift cards for my mom and sister for Christmas!!”

“Best dry needling so far
Tried so many therapists in the past, Lorraine is by far the best, she knew exactly what needed to be done and how everything is connected, to my disbelief she targeted trigger points on a different part of my body and knots and tension was release else where.”

“Herniated Disc:
I’m a runner and I exercise quite a bit. Lorraine quickly helped, me get back on track by getting to the root of my problems. Lorraine has been a thoughtful caring healer for me. She is now helping me get my taste and smell back due to residual Covid -19 symptoms.”

“After stretching, massage, and other acupuncturists failed, Lorraine restored my knee’s full range of motion. My trainer was amazed. I’m delighted. ”

“Fantastic!
Left floating on air. My legs feel much looser and the pain has definitely eased off. Thanks Lorraine!”

“As a dancer who is considered an elite athlete for the type of activity I do professionally, seeing the right healers to keep my body in check is imperative. After tearing my groin and spraining my knees while performing, I feel fortunate to have seen Lorraine for acupuncture each week as she helped my healing process immensely. First off, this woman is no joke! She always went the extra mile to investigate my imbalances and issues each week to successfully loosen my tight and sore muscles. I believe it was through her combination of traditional chinese and western techniques that she was able to analyze and target the problem areas. I believe the deep tissue work is what sped up my results. Not only was she a wizard with the needles, but she was also very pleasant personally. Needless to say, I highly recommend working with Lorraine! ”

“PCOS/Lower Back Pain Miracles!
As someone diagnosed with PCOS, I’ve been trying to find alternative methods to combat the disorder. I found it discouraging to hear that birth control would essentially be the only option that would regulate my cycles and ease my pain symptoms. My mother suggested I try acupuncture and I’m SO happy to have found Lorraine! We have only met for a few sessions and I sincerely already feel a difference in my body and state of mind. I was struggling with a lot of anxiety in light of my diagnosis and I am so much better now.”

“Lorraine is absolutely the best!!!
Lorraine is absolutely the best! She has a magical power to see your body and understand the reason for your pain. Not only is she highly professional and very knowledgeable but she have a very warm personality which makes your visit very special. I have spent the last 6 months suffering from back pain. I thought my pain was due to stress, COVID, or lack of fitness. My doctors couldn’t find anything. Lorraine did! She knows everything about your pain. She is amazing!!!”

“A God-Send
Lorraine was able to pinpoint (no pun intended) the source of my pain and most likely cause — bursitis — immediately. She is a wealth of knowledge about the body and body/mind connection. I felt my pain subside right away after just one session. I will continue treatment with Lorraine because she is the real deal. Highly recommend!”

“So much improvement for my headaches
I had severe headaches since childhood. Thanks to Lorraine they have been not only eased in its intensity but even more importantly frequency. It’s a day and night difference and I am beyond thankful.”

“Lorraine is one of the best acupuncturists I’ve ever come across. I was once a competitive athlete, and have struggled over the years with chronic pain and multiple injuries. I’ve seen many doctors, acupuncturists, physical therapists, chiropractors and Lorraine has been one of the few to provide me with relief!
What differentiates Lorraine from all the others is her extensive knowledge in sports medicine in addition to the acupuncture. She has always been very thorough throughout the process, explaining everything with great detail. Furthermore, she has great bedside manners and truly goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable during your session.
Anytime I have a liar up, I know I can count on her to relieve my pain. If you’re looking for an acupuncturist, look no further! Lorraine is a life saver!
”

“Lorraine is amazing! Through acupuncture she totally helped my cycle get back on track. She is warm and makes you feel at easy and very relaxed. Her cupping is great too, this helps get rid of toxins and increased my energy flow. Lorraine also has the most delicious green tea to drink before your appointment. Her space is cozy and very clean.”

“Amazing
Amazing service thanks Lorraine can’t wait for my second visit. Felt so much better after my first visit.”

“Dramatically Exceeded Expectations
I was a skeptic but not anymore...Immediate improvement to what had been persistent pain. Looking forward to the next session.”

“Knowledgeable acupuncturist with the kindest soul!
Lorraine is attentive, detailed and will diagnose thoroughly in order to provide the best treatment for your concern. I’m very impressed by her knowledge and skills. Glad to have found her!”

“Lower back pain gone
Lorraine is amazing at finding the root cause of your pain and resolving it quickly. I feel like a new person. I would highly recommend Lorraine to anyone with sport related injuries or issues. You will be able to perform at your best again in no time!”

“Pain management guru
I just had another session with Lorraine on Friday morning... and all I could think was why did I wait so long to come back! She released some trigger points in my shoulders that instantly gave me relief from chronic tightness in that area. .. she definitely knows her stuff! I Highly recommend going to see her for any pain management issues you may have :) thanks again LL”

“Lorraine is the BEST!
I have been seeing Lorraine for about 3 months. I was experiencing severe tension in my upper back and shoulders, and I thought nothing could make it go away! I was nervous to try out acupuncture, but Lorraine made me feel so comfortable and even after just my first session I felt AMAZING! I couldn’t believe the way I felt—my life truly was changed! I look forward to my visits with Lorraine because I know that any time something tightens up, she will fix it. I would recommend Lorraine to anyone!”

“Believe in the impossible
We all have had these little aches, pains, and lingering sports injuries we like to ignore. We have tried all tricks and remedies anyone would recommend without much success. Lorraine’s accupuncture does miracles. Within the first session, all tensions were released. A few more sessions started to show significant improvement in my stubborn tendinitis. Even my trainer noticed more fluidity and mobility in my movements. Lorraine magic cocktail: loads of sport science, needles, and a big heart.”

“Life changing
As an active person that does CrossFit regularly, I can tell you I can’t live without Lorraine. She really knows her stuff when it comes to pain. I’m a lot more mobile and am able to perform better in my workouts. I highly recommend her to anyone who trains hard. On a more personal note, she made me feel at ease very easily and her space is very inviting and relaxing.”

“Lorraine is a wonderful acupuncturist and person. She helped me with pain from my c-section scar and she helps me to manage chronic pelvic pain that was caused by an injury. I always leave feeling so much better and the more often I go the longer the results last. So now I only need to see her about every 6 to 8 weeks. If you are looking for an acupuncturist to help your acute or chronic pain, Lorraine is the one for you.”

“Lorraine is a skin guru!
Her knowledge and expertise in wellness coupled with her peaceful demeanor makes any service with her an absolute pleasure. I really appreciate the care she takes to make sure I’m loving and nourishing my inner and outer woman. She’s so much more than her profession!!!”

“I’m finally the woman I always wanted to be - the one who has a “person” that they trust with their skin and plans a skin strategy. I’m delighted to have found an esthetician who uses TECHNIQUE in our sessions together. I actually get a good facial massage. I’m so tired of estheticians slapping on products then leaving the room and calling it a “service.” Not here. Lorraine invests herself in each appointment and it’s always the experience I’m craving. ”

“Game changing skincare!
I have very sensitive skin and was wary about getting any sort of treatment but was recommended to Lorraine by a friend and was pleasantly surprised. Her facials and treatments are the most gentle and rejuvenating I’ve ever had. You can immediately see the difference after the service and she even tells you you can put make up on right after! She has helped me eliminate blemishes overnight and for that I am a customer for life!”

“Lorraine is seriously a miracle worker. I’ve been seeing Lorraine for just about 5 months, and not only have we worked out my migraines, but we’ve also worked on joint and menstrual pain (sorry guys!). I fell down the stairs 2 weeks ago, and the bruise was about half of my upper thigh with a baseball-sized hematoma to match. I saw Lorraine 5 days after, and the difference was remarkable - you actually saw the bruising change color in that hour session, and my range of motion was 1000x better! After just two appointments, my bruise is almost gone, range of motion is probably at 90%, and I’m in way less pain. I’m always particularly impressed and put at ease with Lorraine’s demeanor, she’s so kind and open-minded - I really can’t recommend her enough!!”

“Fantastic place for microdermabrasion as well as skin care needs. Lorraine is very knowledgable and suggests the most appropriate products without making you feel obligated to purchase them. My skin has dramatically improved regarding texture and fine lines to her credit.”

“Amazing Results, Outstanding Treatment!
My past experience with acupuncture left subpar results. After one session with Lorraine, I felt years of tension and tightness melt away. I had no idea what to expect from my initial session, but Lorraine spent time addressing areas where I would feel the most relief while informing me of the benefits for her methods. It left me feeling like this treatment was specifically tailored for me. She cares for the work she does, and for providing her clientele with real result. Highly recommend!”

“Highly Skilled, Knowledgable Professional
I walked into Lorraine’s office feeling stressed and tense. I left feeling relaxed, peaceful and devoid of pain. As a healthcare practitioner myself, I especially appreciated Lorraine’s knowledgable expertise and skilled touch. She is an expert at both physical pain and skin care, making her a uniquely skilled practitioner. My favorite part of treatment was her facial massage that unlocked years of jaw and neck tension AND made my skin looked vibrant and lifted.”

“My face looks and feels so good!
I did the microdermabrasion and LED light therapy with Lorraine and I didn’t know my face could look and feel so good. I’m in my mid 30s and I wish I had started doing this sooner. Lorraine’s treatment feels wonderful. Her products are organic and smell amazing. My skin was looking very dull and now I have been getting so many compliments on my glowing face!”

“Lorraine Lavenita should be the acupuncturist to the stars and pro sports players!
Lorraine is my go to person when I have aches and pains. She has treated my neck, back, plantar faciitis and shoulder. I was going to consult an orthopaedist for my shoulder, but decided to go to Lorraine first. One session and my shoulder feels ready to play golf. She is a miracle worker. I highly recommend her.”

“Excellent
Lorraine is fantastic! A very detail oriented healer who sincerely understands how the body functions. She incorporates both Eastern and Western methods which ends up as a truly wholistic session every time. I’ve had back problems and she consistently has been able to give me the best relief. Definitely recommend! Thank you so much Lorraine!”

“I went to Lorraine because my skin was looking dull and lifeless with a lot of blackheads. She carefully assessed my skin and recommended microdermabrasion to clean it up and remove the old, stagnant layer. It is clear that she is very knowledgeable and skillful. Her explanations of how the skin works and how to treat it to make it perform best made a lot of sense. The procedure was efficient and the products she used along with the micro really seemed to plump my skin and left it feeling so soft and smooth.
I was so impressed with the results of the first treatment that I opted to buy a package and I’m so glad I did because I have found that getting microdermabrasion on a regular basis has really improved the overall condition of my skin. My skin looks younger, brighter, and I have far fewer breakouts. I have found that if I let too much time pass between sessions, my skin starts to look dull, so I have just made microdermabrasion sessions with Lorraine part of my regular skincare routine.”

“Lorraine is the best!
I have been seeing her for hip pain and anxiety, and after each session I notice an immediate response.
She’s been able to do what no chiropractor did. I originally thought that a chiropractor would be the answer to my hip pain, but nothing has helped like acupuncture with Lorraine!
She is extremely thoughtful and knowledgable. She truly cares about finding the root cause of the problem for her patients which is what has helped with my pain and anxiety. Thank you Lorraine!!”

“Before seeing Lorraine for acupuncture I carried a lot of stress and pain in my upper and middle back. She was able to instantly tell this once she had me lie down on the table. I usually hunch over and felt that, even when I made a conscious effort to stand up straight my shoulders would still round over making me hunch over and over time cause more pain.
During my first session, she instantly touched upon certain points that with the touch of one needle had my whole left side vibrating, releasing all the tension I wasn’t aware of. By the end of our session I felt like I had a new back. I could see such a difference in my posture and stride. Looking in the mirror only confirmed what I felt. Friends even complimented me! After just one session I am completely hooked and will be returning on a regular basis!”

“The first I word I think of when I hear the word acupuncture is savior. I owe this to Lorraine’s genuine concern for her clients. I was in massage therapy school when I took up a pole dancing class for fitness. Needless to say I was using my body and testing it’s limits in ways I hadn’t before. I went to Lorraine seeking relief for pain in my back, shoulder and wrist. I was immediately hooked after the pain decreased by about 70% after just one visit! To this day I refer to her as a magician. Massage simply wasn’t getting rid of pain in all those areas. I continue seeing her for preventative maintenance and I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her. I’m so grateful and recommend Lorraine to anyone seeking pain resolution. It saved me. ”

“Relief I didn’t know was possible
Lorraine knows how to find the places in your body that are locked, hurting or in need of release. She is smart, careful and attuned.”

“First acupuncture experience—better than expected!
Lorraine is great and put me at ease for my first facial acupuncture experience. Even though I went in for cosmetic improvements, the treatment also seemed to increase my overall feeling of wellness. The physical improvements to my face included more lifted, fresh, and healthy looking skin. I would highly recommend her!”

“One day I lurched my way into Lorraine’s office for treatment of a debilitating pain in my back that left me moving like Frankenstein’s little sister. Even after working with my beloved massage therapist, countless hours of foam rolling and self-applied myofascial release, I couldn’t get my body to cooperate with me. I felt like the pain and stiffness was getting worse by the day and actually starting hurt in places it shouldn’t. I was starting my new weightlifting program and was dedicated to training hard in the gym 3-4 times a week.
Lorraine paid close attention to what my coach and I were working on in the gym – something I’ve never been asked before by someone in Eastern medicine! We began our treatment and I immediately felt my glutes relax – along with my lower back. Shortly after, all the pain in my sacrum melted away. During the session all I could utter were the words, “I could have spent all day in a massage trying to get that muscle to relax and you just did that in 10 seconds flat. Marry me.” After that blissful treatment, she had me flip over and worked on some spots along my quads, IT band and flexors. What an experience!
Two days later, I was squatting deeper that I ever had and my coach was impressed that not only was I standing up straight, but I also had better hip mobility than I ever did before. I am now training for my first powerlifting competition and couldn’t imagine doing so without Lorraine’s treatments for what I call “preventative maintenance”. To anyone, but especially people looking to further their athletic or fitness performance, do yourself a favor and make an appointment with Lorraine- you will be astonished to see the difference in your movement. ”

“Facial Sculpting with Lorraine
I found Lorraine online and made an appointment for Facial Sculpting with Gua Sha. It was a wonderful experience! Lorraine is very professional and very pleasant individual. Happy to have found her!”

“Magic Needles
I originally went to see Lorraine not for a specific issue or pain but for overall wellness, she immediately assessed me and found the root of my problem that I was not even aware was an issue. I have been living with tense shoulders, muscle tightness, etc, not realizing that this is not normal ~ Lorraine is now working on balancing my adrenal system and l am sleeping better and feel an overall well being that I had forgotten was actually normal. Her knowledge and technique are AMAZING!”

“Best Acupuncturist!
Lorraine Is an expert acupuncturist! I came to her with a torn ligament and a lot of pain, and only after 2 sessions the pain was practically gone. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone with pain issues, she’s just amazing!”
