How We Help
ORA Method Acupuncture
Acupuncture regulates the nervous system by calming the body’s fight-or-flight response, reducing cortisol, and boosting endorphins and serotonin. It’s effective for stress, anxiety, insomnia, and mood imbalance, helping you feel grounded and emotionally balanced.
ORA Method Red Light Therapy
Shown to improve mood and support brain health by stimulating cellular activity and increasing circulation. It helps ease anxiety, support restful sleep, and promote overall relaxation.
ORA Method Signature Massage
Encourages the release of physical tension held in the body due to stress, improves circulation, and triggers the release of “feel-good” hormones like serotonin and dopamine. This creates a powerful mind-body reset.
"Ora is easily one of the best places for headspace in NYC. From the zen decor to the kind staff, simply put, you have to try for yourself. Over the past year I've gone to both locations for various health issues and the acupuncturists were both knowledgeable and gentle at each appointment. Although many may be apprehensive of acupuncture's benefits, I can confidently say they have worked a wold of wonders for me. They also have delicious tea for purchase whether you have an appointment or not!"

Treatment: Acupuncture
I had an incredible first experience at ORA with their Essential Acupuncture treatment! As someone completely new to acupuncture, I was a bit nervous at first, but from the moment I stepped into their beautifully designed space, I felt at ease.
The calming ambiance, thoughtful personal touches, and attentive staff made the whole experience truly memorable. The treatment itself was relaxing and refreshing, leaving me feeling both balanced and rejuvenated. I can’t recommend ORA and Dr. Brittany enough for anyone looking to explore acupuncture or seeking a luxurious wellness experience!
