Read What People are Saying About Aiyana Acupuncture & Chinese Herbs: - - - - - - - "Over the past two years, Juliette Aiyana, L.Ac. provided me with periodic treatments (Acupuncture and sometimes herbs) which were painless and provided relief from PMS, stress, shoulder pain and sinus pressure. Juliette is well informed and up front and personable so you find out almost immediately if you can obtain the desired results, which is usually the case. Anyone interested in trying the alternative to western medicine should try working with Juliette. You will love her!"- Meryl - - - - - - - "I originally started seeing Juliette Aiyana for TMJ. I clenched my jaw so badly at night that I would have terrible back and neck pain, as well as inner ear pain. I didn't want to just wear a night-guard, as many dentists will suggest. That to me was like putting a bandaid on a problem, rather than actually fixing the problem. There are so many things I can say about Juliette Aiyana, L.Ac.. She listens, she is thorough, she is knowledgeable, she is caring, she is enthusiastic, and she has a great laugh. And most of all, she cured me. It seems that the problem wasn't really my jaw, but a spleen qi and liver qi imbalance. Who else can tell you that but an acupuncturist?After my jaw was better, I continued to see Juliette for overall health. I told her my husband and I wanted to start a family. Let me tell you, I was pregnant in no time at all. I don't know how much needles had to do with it, but if that's something you want and you've been having a hard time, I can't think of why you wouldn't give acupuncture a try. It's always a pleasure to go to Juliette's office. It is calming and quiet. And when you leave, you feel healthy, happy and at peace." - Maya - - - - - - - "I scheduled and appointment with Juliette Aiyana, L.Ac. at Aiyana Acupuncture after hearing a brief report on the news about Acupuncture helping people who suffer from anxiety attacks. For about a year before I saw Juliette I was suffering with panic attacks that were becoming worse and worse and more frequent as time went on.As soon as I met Juliette I immediately felt at ease. She explained to me all about acupuncture and Chinese herbs and how they work in such a way that was very easy to understand and made perfect sense. After my second appointment with Juliette I never suffered from another anxiety attack again, and it has now been almost a year since I first visited her. I am so grateful to Juliette. I admit I went into this a little skeptical but Juliette is so knowledgeable and easy to talk to, as soon as I met her I was immediately glad I made the appointment. Each week I would look forward to my appointment, it was such a relaxing experience. I have such faith in Juliette that I have referred her to friends with various ailments who have also had great results with her. I highly recommend Juliette without reservations." - Christine - - - - - - - "I've struggled with my weight since I was a child. For the last seven years and, for the first time in my life, I have been successful in losing and keeping off over 60 pounds. I hit plateaus every now and again, but the slow and steady progression of weight loss has been the best solution for me. It's been a long process that involved a lot of changes in my eating habits, but I eventually found something that worked for me: acupuncture, Chinese herbs and Chinese nutritional therapy at Aiyana Acupuncture & Chinese Herbs.Earlier in this year, I decided to take another big step, and in June 2006 I quit smoking. I was nervous about the risk of weight gain and other withdrawal symptoms, but knew it was time, so I stopped cold turkey. It was not easy and I felt horrible. I was not a heavy smoker (I averaged 2 cigarettes a day) so was very surprised at how significant the physical effects were. I was tired, cranky, constipated and suffering from congestion, sometimes severe, that would worsen after almost every meal. To make matters worse, in August I had what I believed to be an allergic reaction to something I was ate. In addition to the congestion, my feet swelled so much I was unable to get them into my shoes. Making matters worse, I couldn't connect a specific food to the attacks, and the battery of allergy tests performed by my doctor all came back negative. I was successfully treated for an inner ear problem with acupuncture years earlier so, having exhausted my options with traditional treatments and not wanting to resort to continued steroid use, I decided to try it again. I found the Aiyana Acupuncture & Chinese Herbs on the internet and hit if off with its founder, Juliette Aiyana, L.Ac. on the phone when we first spoke. My first visit was on August 31, 2006. It included a very comprehensive exam and began treatment to rid my body of the remaining toxins from years of smoking and the water retention causing the congestion and swelling. In addition to an acupuncture session and prescribing herbs, Juliette instructed me to write down everything I ate, which I did diligently for over three weeks. Juliette evaluated my dietary habits and suggested a few minor changes that were compounding my water retention problem. Since making those changes, I've lost weight, noticed a marked increase in my energy level and no longer suffer from congestion. Before seeking treatment at Aiyana Acupuncture, I was unaware of Chinese medicine's approach to nutrition. Juliette educated me about the different energetic properties of food and the effects it can have on metabolism. I can honestly say that I've never felt better and now find it easier to manage my diet, giving me renewed confidence in my ability to keep off the weight I've lost." - Fran M. Female, Age 39 - - - - - - - Letter from a patient:"I just want to thank you for really working with me and exploring all angles. It means so much to me that you always put so much care into your patients - which is a RARE thing in this city. I'm writing a testimonial for you since you are currently my favorite person: After feeling discouraged from the western medicine I was using to treat a chronic health problem, I sought out Juliette Aiyana, L.Ac. I thought that an alternative approach to my care may be more beneficial. Fortunately, I was right. I have been seeing Juliette for a little over a year now and she has been more effective than any other health practitioner I have come across. She is extremely attentive, careful, thorough and works very hard to ensure that her patients get the best treatments possible. Aside from the acupuncture and herbs, Juliette's encouragement and insights have been key components to my personal healing process. Seeking out Juliette has been one of the best things I have ever done for myself." - Female Patient - - - - - - - "I have been going to Aiyana Acupuncture for a long time and Juliette Aiyana, L.Ac. has been wonderful! She has helped me with many problems and was the only one who could help with a pinched nerve I suffered from a car accident. I highly recommend trying Aiyana Acupuncture."- Karen - - - - - - - I feel like my old struggle to feel at a comfortable weight has finally ended! The weight loss acupuncture, nutritional program and herbs have made a huge difference for me! The changes also resolved fatigue and gave me more energy which fueled my exercise program. For me, it was never about losing a huge amount of weight, but more about maintaining a comfortable and healthy weight (and not starving myself) so after three months I do not feel a sense of up and down at all - but rather comfortable and at a balanced weight where everything fits nicely and I feel absolutely great! Thanks so much, Juliette!"- Mary S, Female, Age 45 - - - - - - - A letter from one of our patients to her OBGYN:"I am writing to let you know that I have been receiving TCM treatment (acupuncture and Chinese herbs) for the abnormal uterine bleeding for which you examined me back in May. As you know from our last conversation, as soon as I stopped the progesterone, the bleeding resumed. I quickly did some research to find a TCM doctor, as I was extremely uncomfortable with the recommended treatment to go on the [birth control] pill. I began treatment with Juliette Aiyana, L.Ac. of the Aiyana Center for Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs. Her herbal and acupuncture treatments stopped the abnormal bleeding as well as restored my period to a five day, light, clot free flow. I am thrilled with the healing process I am experiencing. If you have other patients like me who prefer holistic, natural medicine or treatment, she is happy to receive referrals from your office. Juliette is a compassionate, enthusiastic practitioner of TCM. She also commits a considerate amount of time at every office visit educating her patients about their condition and treatment." - Theresa - - - - - - - "For any woman suffering from unwanted menstrual symptoms or trying to get pregnant, I would highly recommend getting some needles and herbs from Juliette. She is truly amazing!"- Jen - - - - - - - "Juliette treated me for digestive system problems I was having in pregnancy. She helped me to develop a diet plan that kept me well-nourished while also completely alleviating all my symptoms. When I fell off the wagon on occasion, her acupuncture treatments solved the problem. Juliette listens carefully, and adjusts her treatment plan to meet her patients' individual needs. I have recommended her many times to other pregnant friends."- Charlotte - - - - - - - "I went to Aiyana Acupuncture because my immune system was weak - I'd been getting sick once a month for several months. Since I started treatment nine months ago, I've caught one head cold that lasted a day or so - nothing like what was happening before. During one of my appointments I told Juliette that my right shoulder, which has two labral tears, was particularly aggravated that day because of an intensive workout the day before. As as result of my treatment the soreness was gone."- Nick - - - - - - - "Juliette has made a significant improvement in my life. I've had agitation in my chest for quite some time but a consistent regimen of acupuncture and herbs eradicated my feeling of discomfort. I feel like a new man! Thanks Juliette!"- Marc - - - - - - - "Juliette is one of the hardest working practitioners I know. Sincere, thoughtful, really cares about her patients. You need an acupuncturist or Chinese herbalist? You won't go wrong with here!"- Honora - - - - - - - "Juliette was so warm and friendly from our initial meeting. She took the time to explain what acupuncture was, asked very detailed questions in order to treat me appropriately. She creates a soothing and comfortable environment when working with you. She receives nothing but high recommendations from me!"- Simone - - - - - - - "A few years ago I pulled a leg muscle while running and the injury didn't heal on its own despite more than six months of rest. After just a few acupuncture treatments from Juliette the leg was as good as new and I was up and running again. Juliette was extremely knowledgeable in explaining to me what caused the injury and what I could do to minimize the chance of a recurrence. I would definitely use her again."- Keith - - - - - - - "Juliette is an extremely knowledgeable and intuitive practitioner of the healing arts; including acupuncture, massage and nutrition, plus so much more! I highly recommend her high integrity, creativity, and health results for women, children, and families!"- Abby - - - - - - - "Juliette was wonderful. I had always understood that acupuncture can help support a variety of issues so I thought I would give it a try. She was very helpful, encouraging, supportive and caring. And - I got the results I wanted!! I am grateful to her for her attentiveness and for making me feel like she genuinely cared about my health and well-being - as well as the outcome of the treatment. I did not try any herbal remedies so cannot comment on that. I would go back to her in a heartbeat for any issue. She knows her stuff. She was also great with processing the insurance payments so it was also affordable - something important to most these days. I wholeheartedly recommend meeting with her."- Wendy - - - - - - - "Juliette is a terrific instructor! Her seminars are packed full of well-researched information on weight loss and her presentation style is fun and interactive. Juliette is a joy to work with in all of the planning stages as well! She has been instrumental in publicizing and helping to fill the classes. Truly a remarkable woman."- JoAnn - - - - - - - "I attended one of Juliette's workshops in NYC and have a copy of her book. I found her presentation style effective and personable and her knowledge base useful."- Janice Cambell, M.Ac., L.Ac. ADS - - - - - - - "I have been proud to call Ms. Aiyana a professional colleague for many years. Ms. Aiyana is a dynamic and engaging speaker and writer. She has the rare ability to combine science, sage wisdom and common sense and make it accessible to both the professional and the lay person alike.
