I can't believe I am pain free! If you are suffering from severe pain, I can't recommend Raphael and his acupuncture treatments enough. I am an avid runner and had been out of commission for almost 6 months due to re-occurring pain in my right leg and glute. I had tried everything from pain killers to deep tissue massages to chiropractic alignments; nothing would lessen the pain. Just when I had almost given up on being able to run again, a friend recommended Raphael. After just over a month of treatments I am pain free and running again. Still can't believe it. Your treatments have been transformative! THANK YOU SO MUCH, RAPHAEL! - S.B.

If I could give Talia 10 stars I would. I was new to acupuncture and sought out her services for fertility treatment after many failed months of working with a fertility clinic. Talia was a calming and comforting source of support during a difficult and stressful time. She always had incredibly helpful suggestions around my fertility treatment and she was in the know about fertility providers in the surrounding area. Although I can't scientifically prove that acupuncture, and the supplements Talia suggested were what allowed me to get pregnant, I can say that I managed to get pregnant while taking a break from fertility medication/treatment and just focusing on my acupuncture. I highly recommend seeing Talia if you are struggling with fertility issues. I feel so grateful for her help. Thank you Talia! -J.T. Copake, NY

Talia and Raphi are exceptionally caring, passionate, and generous healers! I have worked with various acupuncturists and herbal medicine doctors over the past four years in New York City, and am so grateful to have found Talia and Raphi in upstate New York. Their deep listening skills and thoughtful attention to each patient are exceptional, and I would recommend working with them without any reservations. I have found that working in tandem with both of them -- with Talia's focus on acupuncture & GI issues, and Raphi's focus on tuina massage and pain management -- has been especially generative for me. The amount of relief and healing they have helped me find continues to be astounding. Thank you Talia & Raphi!- A.R., Hudson, NY

I've been seeing Talia since November while I was trying to conceive! After a month of working together I was pregnant and she's been a huge support to me throughout. Even during Covid lockdown Talia was delivering herbs to help me with morning sickness. I can't recommend her highly enough to anyone looking to grow their family or regulate their cycle. - L.K., Rhinecliff, NY

Everything about Talia’s practice is soothing - the actual sessions, the setting, her presence. Having practitioners that you enjoy and trust is so critical to health and wellness. I look forward to each session not only for the way I feel physically but also how it always soothes my spirit. Regular sessions have become my favorite way to unwind and provide much needed care. It’s a real gift to have such knowledgeable and curious professionals in our area. I look forward to learning from them for years to come.- T.C., Claverack, NY

After working with Talia, I felt incredible. I sought her out after experiencing postpartum insomnia. The night after my initial acupuncture session, I slept deeply for the first time in weeks. I was also blown away by how well-cared for I felt during my session. I rarely write reviews but was so impressed by the care I receive that I just had too! - J.S. Hudson, NY

Working with Talia has been incredible. Her presence and knowledge is so comforting, and the space is beautiful. I immediately feel relaxed when I enter the office. I went to her looking for support with my menstrual cycle and balancing hormones, which greatly effect my mood. After the first month of an herbal protocol and acupuncture (and some cupping!)- my cycle is regulated, my mood is stabilized and feel vital again. I will definitely be working with Talia in an ongoing relationship. Thank you! -T.P. Hudson Valley, NY

After having two full hip replacements a year apart, I was still having hip flexibility issues and experiencing pain, limiting my activities. After working with Raphael for a few acupuncture sessions I had less tightness and more flexibility in my hips than I have had over the past 3 years!. I feel more balanced overall and I am now able to get back to my regular workout routines. -M.P.

Raphi's acupuncture treatments have been very effective. I've had two shoulder surgeries and an additional tear, and because of his treatments I have not needed to resort to steroid injections and do not need pain medication of any kind. -K.C.

I was recently diagnosed with a form of RA - the pain was debilitating. I started receiving Tuina and acupuncture treatments with Raphael in July and noticed an immediate improvement. My pain is reduced, my range of motion has increased and overall feeling of well-being has improved. I receive treatment every other week and it is amazing the difference it makes. I am getting back to being active in the gym and day to day activities are no longer painful. Acupuncture with Raphael is amazing! - H.L.

The treatments my husband and I received from Talia and Raphael was beyond helpful in relieving our symptoms and starting us on a path of healing. Their deep knowledge, clear skill, and kind attention is indeed rare. Thank you both again, we cannot wait for a follow up treatment! - L.E. Hudson Valley, NY
