REST Acupuncture

Rest-NYC — Yukiko is thoughtful, skilled, and understands what the body needs. She helps my whole body feel more balanced and energized. Every session feels personal and full of care. The space and ambient music always make me feel calm and help me let go of daily stress. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs support with their health or simply wants to feel better overall.

I had a successful IVF and am now a happily new mother. At 43, my doctor told me the success rate for a Day 3 embryo implant was only about 10% due to my age, but Yukiko's acupuncture treatments played a crucial role in my success. Her needles helped warm both my body and mind, allowing me to go through the process with peace of mind and strength. I gave birth to my first healthy baby at 44, and I truly believe her treatments were essential in making this miracle happen. Thank you so much for your dedication, knowledge, and care until the very end.

REST is the best! I’ve been seeing Yukiko at Rest for a few months, and the results have been truly impressive. In addition to traditional acupuncture, Yukiko specializes in dry needling (i.e, trigger point acupuncture), which has significantly helped alleviate my pain, nausea, headaches, dizziness, and improved range of motion in several areas of my body. Yukiko is incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and attentive. She regularly checks in during the sessions, which is especially important since the trigger point work can be a bit uncomfortable at times but always manageable and definitely worth it. Yukiko goes out of her way to ensure my comfort—making sure I’m warm, relaxed, and hydrated throughout the session. The space itself is incredibly calming, peaceful, and soothing, creating the perfect environment for healing. To top it off, the sessions are very affordable, which makes it easy to continue my care. I highly recommend this studio to anyone seeking effective and compassionate treatment.

Seeing Yukiko at REST is one of the kindest things I do for myself. Her acupuncture isn’t just about relieving pain or symptoms. It’s about being deeply cared for. It’s not a rushed appointment with a set start and end time. Yukiko moves at your pace. If I need to leave by a certain time, she gently adjusts. But if my body needs to rest, she gives me that space. She listens, not just to what I say, but to what my body is asking for. I’ve been through a lot menopause, tongue pain, a fractured leg, stress, fatigue… and while nothing changes overnight, Yukiko helps me feel more grounded, more at ease. Every session feels personal, thoughtful, and healing. I always sleep better after seeing her. You don’t need to be going through something big to benefit from her care. Whether you're dealing with something specific or just want to feel more connected to your body, I truly believe anyone can find comfort, rest, and renewal in Yukiko’s hands.

I’ve been coming to see Yukiko for a few years now, and I can confidently say she is the most caring and skillful acupuncturist you’ll find. Her dedication to her craft and genuine concern for her patients’ well-being set her apart. She takes the time to understand your needs, always making sure you feel comfortable and cared for. Whether you’re seeking relief from pain, stress, or simply looking to improve your overall health, Yukiko’s expertise and thoughtful approach make every visit a truly healing experience. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional acupuncture care!

I literally love Yukiko with all my heart! I started coming to her almost a year ago for really bad TMJ. I’d never done acupuncture before, so wasn’t sure what to expect, but even after one session I was floored. She has completely turned my pain and discomfort around, and puts so much thought and care into each session. I highly highly recommend her. She is so incredibly kind and talented at what she does!

I cannot write enough positive things about Rest Acupuncture and Yukiko! The environment of the office is unbelievably peaceful, calming and relaxing - like an oasis in this jungle of a city ;) Yukiko is a superior clinician and is kind, therapeutic and patient. You can tell Yukiko genuinely cares for her patients, and always goes the extra mile for me as a pateint, never rushing me and taking her time to treat me. I am so grateful I found her. I highly recommend Rest Acupuncture for whatever you are suffering!

Lovely acupuncture clinic! With shared space yet personalized feel. Serene atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Rest has amazing service and a caring and responsive owner. I would highly recommend acupuncture here.

REST is amazing! I have had some terrible experiences with acupuncture and was hesitant about making an appointment, but I am so happy that I ultimately did! Yukiko is one of the kindest, smartest and generous practitioners that I have ever worked with. Working with her has empowered me to take action to heal myself on many different levels. I can't recommend Yukiko or REST enough! It has truly become a solace for me and I'm so profoundly grateful!

The best place for the acupuncture! I have been coming here for 5 years and its simply the best. The owner Yukiko goes above and beyond to meet your needs. We feel different every single day and every time you come your session is accustomed to what you need that day, that moment. Recommend 100%. You will never want to go anywhere else Thank you Yukiko for all you do!

Excellent, friendly and professional acupuncturist in a beautiful and serene space. A must try for anyone thinking about acupuncture.

REST Acupuncture is a haven in the LES. I had the pleasure of meeting Yukiko on Saturday - she showed me around the space and it was so lovely. Full of light, air and joyful plants. I'm new to acupuncture so I was so excited to find this space - so close to my apartment and so affordable! $50/session for the summer is such a steal. She was very sweet and explained the treatment and which option was best for me. The beds can be lifted, there is a heat blanket, space blanket and wonderful pillow. After the initial consultation I was placed with the necessary needles, she uses the smallest ones and it was painless... I then drifted into a deep REST (which was so necessary). I cannot recommend the services here enough. My boyfriend is completing the bar in a week and I purchased a gift certificate for him as well. I can't wait to go back !!!

Rest is exactly what I needed. I live on the upper west side and have to go to the village quite a lot and it wears me out and leaves me little time for me. Finding rest changed my life. Scheduling online is easy and they always are ready for me to pop in and out so I can get through my hectic days. Xoxo

I was very fortunate to work with Lexy a few years ago when I was having chronic issues with my neck and right arm. She was able to address things and help me on my way to a healing process. But I don't live on the east coast so it was some time since my last visit. When I learned about REST, I was very excited to try it. I'm in the area briefly while I wait to move overseas, which is rather a stressful process. I signed up for a session at REST and it was the best decision I made all week. Lexy presented me with a few options for treatment and together we decided the best one for me was "Balance" since my stress was throwing everything off. I lay down on the incredibly comfortable table and slowly felt myself relax and find a calm place during the treatment. It was exactly what I needed.

Wow....this place is truly an urban oasis. I am new to acupuncture but my family has had many positive experiences with good acupuncturists back home in Taiwan. I found Rest online and decided this would be a good place for beginners to try. I am so glad I did! Lexy is calm and knowledgeable. Yukiko is simply an angel! I have tried Calm and Refresh on their menu and each time I left feeling amazing. Yukiko is so friendly that after each session you just want to stay and have tea and chat with her forever! But I always had to leave right after for something or another :/ Yesterday it started pouring as I was getting the treatment and Yukiko sent me away with an umbrella after giving me tea. Soooo sweet :)

When you need to back up your energy, this is the place to go !! It's a great solution and strategy for the busy New York people !!

The space is clean, the acupuncturists are professional and knowledgeable and the price is affordable. Lexy, the acupuncturist and owner, helped me choose from a menu of four acupuncture treatments - I've had one type to feel energized and another for deep relaxation. This is a great place to go with a friend or on a date because the four treatment beds are together in one room. You can feel the energy of the other people around you. Next time I'm going to bring my mom to introduce her to the concept of acupuncture!!

I have been to REST several times and the sessions have helped me with stress, sleep and shoulder pain. Yukiko is an amazing acupuncturist and a very kind, compassionate person. And the space is so beautiful and tranquil. I always feel more relaxed and calm afterwards. I highly recommend!

Caring and very knowledgeable acupuncturists! The setting initially turned me off but I realize it is what makes it affordable. My only gripe is that you have to 'choose' from one of four set menus rather than them making a personal one based on your symptoms. Also, I was wearing something uncomfortable so it wasn't as good of an experience as it could have been. But as long as you wear comfortable/loose clothing and know that it won't be individualized acupuncture, you are in great hands!

I am new to acupuncture and decided to try REST. I came for a session on a Thursday evening and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The space is super modern and clean, with a very calm, relaxing energy. I was greeted by Lexy with nice cup of warm tea and immediately felt at ease. We talked about my reasons for trying acupuncture and together decided what would be the best treatment for me. Lexy is both knowledgeable and kind... I felt really comfortable with her. The session went far beyond my expectations. I've already booked my next appointment! Looking forward to making REST my calm oasis to de-stress and rejuvenate. Highly recommend!

This place is INCREDABLE!!!!!! BOOK THIS NOW!! Don't even secind guess it. I've heard good things about acupuncture from my family and friends so I had to try for myself. Now I did go one to livingsocial because I was deal hunting and didn't want to pay full price, but before I bought I checked their yelp reviews, convinced of the repeated fives stars in I went. I have to say this was a in-depth discussion as to why I was here, what I was looking for, and how to help me. I really did think they would just stick needles in my back to fix my pain but it was a more detailed approach which was unexpected but really interesting. The experience is life changing and I understand it may sound crazy to say but I truly was shocked and could stop saying how happy I was with the service. Even more she did a follow up personalized email that made me feel special. I am more then happy to pay full price for when I return (btw price point extremely reasonable cheaper then a massage and my opinion more relaxing).

Although I am not new to acupuncture, the concept of REST as a community space that provides accessible and positive energy by way of excellent acupuncturists was indeed new to me. Once I actually tried a session, it seemed totally natural and easy. Yukiko's deep sense of calm provides the foundation for great treatments and the space is immaculate and soothing. Dropping in for sessions when I can has been big help in keeping mindful of heathy mental and physical practices in my everyday life. I love this place.
