Services
New Patient Consultation + Evaluation + Treatment: You will start your care with an initial consultation + evaluation, followed by your first acupuncture treatment. You will receive online paperwork to fill out at home prior to your first visit. What you write in your forms will form the basis for your conversation with Susanna.
Stick-on moxa: It's that really great smelling stuff that gets burned on you in the office. It is super calming, and is used to improve immunity, calm anxiety, reduce pain, and so much more. Press-tacks: Those tiny acupressure stickers Susanna sometimes put on your body at the end of a treatment. They are tiny micro-needles on a band-aid that can stay on for a week!
Cupping therapy uses jar-like cups, which attach to your skin via suction. The vacuum action of cupping rapidly facilitates the release of rigid soft tissues, stimulates the peripheral nervous system, loosens and lifts connective tissues, breaks up and drains stagnation. It also increases blood and lymph flow to skin, muscles, and connective tissues.
With a desire to help others nourish their health and enhance their life, Dr. Susanna Satten, DAc, LAc, DiplAc, RYT completed her Doctorate in Acupuncture, as well as teacher trainings in Vinyasa and Alignment-based yoga.

I have been seeing Susanna on and off since 2020, first through South Philly Community Acupuncture and for the past year or so at her private practice. Susanna’s care has helped me manage a number of painful conditions all over my body. She has a real gift of touch and I have never felt more listened to and understood when visiting a healthcare provider. She has such a wealth of knowledge - not just in eastern medicine practices - but in healthcare generally, and I have been so grateful for her treatments and support. I always leave my treatments with her feeling reset, happy, and most importantly

I am so happy that I found Dr. Susanna. She has really helped me with my neck pain. She is very friendly and professional at the same time! If you have any problems, you should definitely go see her. Her hands and techniques are magical. I enjoyed every session and I am looking forward to seeing her in the future.

My first appointment with Susanna was fantastic! I’ve seen a lot of acupuncturists over the years and she’s the best! Very knowledgeable, thorough, and clear communication. Her office was very clean and comfortable, her demeanor very calming and grounded. I was dealing with some chronic fatigue and skin problems and after one session i felt a lot of things shifted and improved. I was incredibly relaxed and centered after my treatment. I highly recommend working with her!

Dr. Satten serves as an extremely effective and qualified acupuncturist, as well as a bonus therapist thanks to her highly-attuned listening skills. She is very calm, welcoming and supportive, and is able to transform my bucket of feelings and jumble of experiences into a magical plan of action using the tools of East Asian Medicine. I am always amazed and delighted by how confidently she applies her practice, knowledge and engagement to make me feel so much better. As someone who is very afraid of needles, I am happy to report that Dr. Satten has made me feel safe in her care. She lets me know

Dr. Susanna is really great at what she does. Calm, cool and collected which is exactly how I feel after my time with her. I was skeptical when acupuncture was recommended to me by a family member to help combat my health issues. It only took one session to feel the difference and I look forward to each next appointment.

I love receiving acupuncture from Susanna. She listens to what you say. She is kind, clear thinking, smart, and deeply knowledgeable about energy healing from many perspectives. She also feels the qi, so her treatments are not only from her mental knowledge or protocols she has learned, but also from her intuition and ability to sense the subtle qi energy and bring it to balance. I know this because I feel it. I love that I sometimes go to see her with no particular body pain or issue, yet I still come out feeling more calm, open, relaxed, and present in my body and in my life....just better

Susanna is an amazing healer! My husband and I tried to conceive for some time and kept running into dead ends. When I started to work with Susanna, I was dealing with severe pains in my sides that eluded every doctor I saw. It wasn’t until seeing her that I got more comfortable with advocating for my self. Having her explain things to me, made it easier for me to talk to my doctors who agreed with her. She’s always so accommodating, insightful, and extremely intuitive. She makes it easy to talk about what’s going on. She completely changed the way I view my body- not as just a vehicle, but

Dr. Susanna is an amazing alternative medical practitioner. Every treatment I have had with her over the past four years has been 100% on point. She has what I would call intuitive touch and will point out areas of your body that you are having issues with without you saying a word about them. I have treated with her for the past four years, and would recommend her to anyone, she is a true genius. Dr. Susanna helps her patients live a better life every day, by the work that she does.

Wow is all I have to say! Susanna is so incredibly warm and welcoming. She took a lot of time to really talk to me about my problems and it's like no other medicine I've ever had. She's amazing and gentle with the needling and I felt immediate relief after her treatments. I totally recommend seeing her for any issues! Very knowledgeable in all aspects and gave me great dietary advice as well!

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Susanna! She really listened to my health issues and took the time to help me understand how acupuncture can help me. I was nervous to try acupuncture, but she was very gentle and walked me through each step. I found it very relaxing. I have already seen great improvement in my health. I can’t wait to go back for another treatment!
