Services
Acupuncture has been practiced in China for over 4000 years. By insertion of small needles, that are as thin as hair strands, at acupuncture points, an acupuncturist balances the flow of energy (often referred to as Qi or Ki) in the body. This restores the proper flow and balance of energy, allowing the body to naturally come into balance and correct the problem causing the health issue.
Blending Traditional Approach with Modern Medicine Provides Supplemental Option for Patients' Care. Cleveland Clinic has opened a Chinese Herbal Therapy Clinic, one of the first hospital-based herbal clinics in the U.S., to round out its integrative medicine services and provide supplementary options for patients seeking a holistic, natural approach to their care.
There are many different styles of acupuncture, all equally effective in their own right. Certain practitioners prefer one over the other, and some will use the style that they feel is most fit for the patient and condition being treated, as I do.
Although acupuncture first started in China, it has, over centuries, spread to many Asian countries and thus there are many different and distinct styles (Japanese, Korean, Classical, Traditional Chinese Medicine style etc).

If you were to ask me a few years ago, I cannot image I ever would be promoting acupuncture given my severe phobia of needles. However, I was suffering from migraines monthly and the pain was so excruciating that I could not function for 2-3 days per month. Given my busy lifestyle and that of my two children, I was eager and willing to try.

Can not recommend Alexandra more highly!! I started working with her to help my husband and I conceive - within 3 months I was pregnant!! I continued to see her through my pregnancy and she helped me feel fantastic the whole time - treating pain anywhere in body while also giving me attention for the pregnancy.
It turned out my son was breech and I did not want a c section, which is inevitable if he was still breech by 36 weeks. For a week before, Alexandra administered many techniques to encourage him to flip. I was happy to try anything she suggested in and out of her office because I trust

After exhausting every other option and treatment for my neuropathy, I decided to try acupuncture at the urging of a friend who has been going to Aleksandra for years. I can only say that I wish that I haven’t waited that long. After 3 weeks of treatments the sensation has started coming back to my foot and I didn’t feel like I was walking on nails all the time. 2 months later, I have about 60% improvement, something that doctors told me was impossible and that if would only get worse. I am so grateful to have found Aleksandra and even 30 min drive to her office is worth it. I highly recommend

Thank you...Thank you! I have been receiving acupuncture therapy with Sasha going back to early 2017. I tried acupuncture for the first time to try and alleviate 20 years of chronic lower back pain (4/5 disc degeneration) and Sasha came highly recommended by several family friends. After having had limited success over the years with physical therapy and pain management, I started having notable relief with acupuncture after several weeks , including better sleep and flexibility in my back. This made me a believer and I have been going back for "tune-ups" ever since and recommending acupuncture

Aleksandra is a gift to our world. When you find someone who really makes an impact on your life it’s important to share - Aleksandra prevented my husband from two surgeries, has healed mine and his injuries and continues to keep us healthy and our immune systems strong. She is kind, calm, patient, clean and brilliant! Highly recommend her!!

I woke up one day and couldn't move half of my face. The hospital diagnosed it as Bells Palsy. A friend recommended acupuncture to help with the droop on the one side of my face. I found Sasha on Yelp and called that day. Aleksandra scheduled my consult the next day and laid out a plan. From the first visit she gave me confidence in knowing her services could definitely help. Well, it did! I saw improvement very quickly and enjoyed every session. She talked me through exactly what she was doing and made the environment very relaxing. Who would have thought you could doze off with 50+ acupuncture

I started seeing Sasha this year. I love how flexible and available Sasha is with scheduling and payments. Due to my very busy schedule, I cancelled my appointment many times within 24h, and she was always accommodating and understanding. I love that she was willing to work with my insurance and was very flexible with payment schedule. Not to mention how much better I feel. She is really one of the most knowledgeable acupuncturists I know. It really helps that she also has a degree in Chinese medicine too and is able to take more holistic approach to health ailments.

Awful experience. I scheduled an appointment to help with insomnia because this place had great reviews. I arrived, filled out paperwork, and then the acupuncturist sat down with me for a couple of minutes to talk about my ailments, just like any other acupuncturist. That's where the similarities end.
She then she said she'd "recommend" 3x sessions a week for a few weeks to get me on track and that would be $2600 and that that way the per-session rate would be less than if I did it individually. I said I'd need to think about whether or not I'd want to do a whole package, at which point she said

I started going to Aleksandra to treat symptoms of depression, anxiety and bipolar 2 disorder. She also helped me with improving my digestion and has significantly lessened the severity of my menstrual cycle. I feel such tremendous difference. Choosing this form of treatment and finding Aleksandra (through a friend's recommendation) has been one of the best decisions I've ever made to improve my life. Aleksandra is an expert and really cares about her patients well being.
Thank you for the wonderful work you have done and continue to do for me.

Sasha is by far the best practitioner I’ve ever visited, of any kind. The combination of her knowledge, technical expertise and skills with her compassion, caring and soothing nature makes the entire experience so rewarding both mentally and physically. She has helped me remove stress from my life, sleep better and heal aches and pains. I would highly recommend her to anyone who has ever wondered if acupuncture could help them. And for those who have not, please do and go see Sasha. You’ll wish you’d done it sooner.

Alexandra is an excellent acupuncturist. I have visited her quite a few times. She helped me with a lower back problem - something that my orthopedist could not do and then later helped me with my shoulder. She is very knowledgeable, calm and good at what she does. She also emits very good energy, something extremely important for anyone in her profession. I highly recommend her. Really, she is the best in this part of New Jersey.

Aleksandra is a wonderful, knowledgeable and genuine practitioner. She has extensive knowledge in TCM, acupuncture and is an herbalist as well. Being an herbalist is a big bonus since she can combine treatments with herbs for a well rounded treatment plan. She makes sure she is treating any ailments to the best of her ability and is concerned with seeing results. I have been going to her for weekly treatments since April and I have noticed great improvements in my well being, digestion and I feel more hormonally balanced and overall healthy. The ambiance of the office and the energy Aleksandra

I was a lil skeptical about the benefits of accupuncture but Aleksandra has made me a believer. I feel so much better and she has taught me about being more in tune with my body. She is very knowledgeable and makes sure you have a good experience each and every time. I would highly recommend you going to see her.

Aleksandra was wonderful. She is extremely knowledgeable and an expert in her field. She is very gentle and goes to great lengths to make you feel comfortable. She takes the time to really understand what you are going through and does not push you out the door. You can tell her clients mean a lot to her and she really wants to help.
