“Immediately felt like I was being held by a warm hug”
I have had two remote Reiki sessions with Dr. Yuko, and both were amazing experiences. Each time, I immediately felt a warm and comforting presence, as if being held by a warm hug. The sensation flowed through my entire body, making me feel calm and relaxed. During the session, I experienced vivid visions and a deep, meditative peace. Each Reiki experience has been special, and I always look forward to the next one.

"The best thing was feeling like I could take a deep breath"
I had my first remote Reiki experience with Dr. Yuko, and the results were amazing! After recovering from COVID, my breathing was often shallow and labored. But after just one session, I felt a noticeable improvement. I slept deeply for the first time in a long while and felt energized the next day, able to take a deep breath without difficulty.

“Feel energized throughout a day”
I truly love Dr. Iwatsu’s approach to both acupuncture and Reiki treatments. After my remote Reiki session, I fell asleep quickly and woke up feeling refreshed and light. Since then, I wake up easily every morning, feeling energized and grounded throughout the day.

“Dr. Yuko has a very kind and patient demeanor”
I love getting Reiki from Dr. Yuko. Her remote sessions work wonders for me. She has a very kind and patient demeanor that makes me feel safe, cared for, and heard. After just one session, I felt a sense of ease and deep relaxation. Since then, my energy flows more freely, and I feel more focused and productive. It’s been a wonderful experience.

“Felt a sensation like waves of energy healing the part that ails me”
Dr. Yuko has magic hands. In all my remote Reiki healings, I felt sensations like waves of energy healing the parts of me that needed it most. The experience has been nothing short of magical.

”The root of the problem is being addressed rather than just the symptoms”
A couple of years ago, after experiencing random and extreme allergic reactions, I saw an allergist who prescribed a daily medication as a solution. However, I never received a clear explanation of what was causing my attacks. After a few months of taking the medication, I accidentally skipped a couple of doses and noticed that my sensitivity to seasonal allergies and irritants had actually increased. This experience made me uncomfortable with the idea of taking medication without fully understanding its impact on my body.
Around the same time, I met Dr. Yuko. Initially, I was hesitant about acupuncture since I only knew it involved needles, but I decided to have a consultation. It turned out to be a wonderful and truly peaceful experience. Dr. Yuko has a unique way of taking a detailed history and providing information and treatment options without any pressure, making me feel completely at ease.
Through her treatments, I’ve seen a significant improvement in my allergies and feel that the root of the problem is being addressed rather than just the symptoms. I’ve also had treatments for muscle aches, an irregular menstrual cycle, digestive issues, and more, always leaving my appointments with a deep sense of relaxation and rejuvenation.
I’ve recommended Dr. Yuko to several friends, and their feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. I can’t say enough about how wonderful her treatments are. If you are curious about acupuncture, I highly encourage you to experience it with Dr. Yuko. There’s no need to fear the needles; it’s a pure treat!

“Going through cancer, chemotherapy and Dr. Iwatsu’s treatment has changed my life”
I started seeing Dr. Iwatsu right after completing six months of chemotherapy following cancer surgery. I was suffering from neuropathy in my hands, feet, and legs due to the side effects of chemotherapy, along with a cold sensation throughout my body and anxiety about my health. Dr. Iwatsu provided weekly acupuncture treatments using ‘teishin’ and moxibustion, which were so relaxing that I often fell deeply asleep during the sessions. In addition to the treatments at her office, she taught me various self-care techniques, such as moxibustion and aromatherapy, which I could easily incorporate into my daily life at home.
After seeing Dr. Iwatsu for five months, I experienced significant overall improvements in my health. I have since passed all my medical checkups with my surgeon without any concerns. Going through cancer, chemotherapy, and Dr. Iwatsu’s treatment has truly changed my life. I’ve learned to listen to my body and be kinder to myself. Dr. Iwatsu is a great listener and a dedicated acupuncturist and doctor, which always made me feel comfortable.

“Dr. Yuko’s humility and compassion were calming”
Dr. Yuko has a warm, professional manner and a genuine interest in being helpful. She took the time to explain the relevance of her questions and how acupuncture could impact my backache and fatigue. It’s clear that Dr. Yuko loves her work in Chinese medicine, and she approaches her treatment protocols with confidence and skill. Her humility and compassion were calming, and the healing balm of kindness infused every aspect of my experience.

”Feel my sinuses open again as it felt after surgery”
I started receiving acupuncture treatments from Dr. Iwatsu for my sinus issues. After having surgery two years ago, I was advised to continue taking medication, but I recently noticed my sinus problems returning. Rather than going back to medication, I sought Dr. Iwatsu’s help. Her acupuncture treatments made a significant difference; I felt my sinuses open up in a way similar to how they felt right after surgery. Not only did my sinus condition improve, but I also felt generally better. I now visit her clinic weekly for health maintenance and to manage my sinuses. Dr. Iwatsu is a highly professional and caring acupuncturist. I highly recommend her.

”Both Dr. Iwatsu’s acupuncture and the herbal medications are working out well”
I have been receiving weekly acupuncture treatments from Dr. Iwatsu to maintain my physical health. Initially, I sought her help for a range of issues including low back pain, dry skin, TMJ, UTI, floaters, tiredness, heart palpitations, and tinnitus. With such a wide array of symptoms, I needed effective relief, and Dr. Iwatsu’s treatments consistently deliver excellent results.
Recently, I also began taking Chinese herbal formulas recommended by Dr. Iwatsu to support my symptoms between acupuncture sessions. I am pleased to report that both her acupuncture and the herbal medications are proving to be highly effective.
Having experienced acupuncture with various practitioners in Japan and New York, I can confidently say that Dr. Iwatsu provides the best results for me.”

“Dr. Iwatsu’s treatment helps me to manage the pain after long hours of walking”
About 15 years ago, I was an active runner but struggled with being overweight, which led to heel spurs and plantar fasciitis. As a result of walking with a limp for 14 months, I damaged my gluteus and knee muscles. Despite undergoing physical therapy, my joints remained painful and the therapy didn’t provide relief.
My sister suggested I try acupuncture, and after several treatments, I found that the pain became manageable. This experience turned me into a firm believer in acupuncture, and I sought out a practitioner in New York who used Japanese acupuncture needles, as I found Chinese needles to be too strong despite their pain-relieving effects.
Dr. Iwatsu’s treatment uses the gentle, effective technique I was accustomed to in Japan. I now see her regularly to maintain my gluteus and knees. Her acupuncture treatments help me manage pain after long hours of standing or walking, significantly improving my quality of life.
