Jen Becker Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine

I have been working with Jen weekly for about a year and a half now for allergy and asthma problems. At the time of my first visit I was experiencing the worst flare up of my life. I was taking the maximum dosage of asthma medication and could not breath at all through my nose. Jen immediately impressed me as someone who had found their mission in life — as a warm and caring healer. She prescribed Chinese herbs and at the beginning of each acupuncture session always asked thoughtful questions that shaped the treatment.
At about the same time I decided to see an ENT specialist to see if I had a sinus infection and anything else that might be causing problems. He discovered that I had nasal polyps as a result of lifelong allergies and prescribed steroids to shrink the polyps. This gave me temporary relief, but the specialist said I would likely need a minor surgical procedure at some point to take care of the polyps. I wasn’t too keen on that. I learned that polyps return for many, if not most people, who have this procedure, so I decided to trust that Jen’s treatments and the herbs she prescribed would continue to be the best path for me. Good decision.
I felt better and better over time. I was able to cut my asthma medication back to a half dose and Jen and I both felt that the herbs and acupuncture were steadily shrinking the polyps and improving my breathing and resistance to allergies. A few months ago, I was feeling that we were almost there, but from time to time I still experienced a bit of allergic response and stuffiness. Poking around the Internet I discovered that some people with my symptoms had success with essential tea tree and eucalyptus oils, so I started using them after a discussion with Jen.
Today I feel like I should be a poster child (adult really) for Jen and Chinese traditional medicine! For the past two months I have been breathing freely through my nose — a totally new and life-​changing experience for me. Jen’s knowledge, skills as a practitioner, caring style and capacity to listen and make adjustments have enabled me to achieve a level of health and well being I always felt would be out of reach. I really could not be more pleased with the outcome.

I have seen Jen regularly for acupuncture over the course of several years and I highly, highly recommend her. She is obviously well-​trained, but beyond that, really is a healer. She approaches each session in a holistic way and I have always felt really comfortable sharing what was going on in my life and what I needed addressed. She really works with the current state of your body, takes her time, and her treatments of have been really effective for me. I have now moved out of New York, but still make time to have appointments with her whenever possible when I am in town.

Jen is a fantastic acupuncturist. I recommend her to all my friends. I have seen her for over a year and always look forward to my visits. She listens sensitively to my concerns and addresses them in our sessions. Seeing her is the only thing that has improved my shoulder pain and I really believe that she can help anyone with whatever is troubling them! She’s a gem!

I started seeing Jen in BK about two and half years ago and it seriously changed my life. And since being treated by her, I recommend acupuncture to everyone for everything that might be bothering them. What I love about the experience the most is that it really gives me a break from busy NYC life and helps me chill and focus. I get treated for stress and anxiety and it 100 percent calms me down. She’s super attentive and flexible to whatever might be bothering you. I couldnt recommend it more!

Jen is a great acupuncturist. I recently moved out of Brooklyn (to LA) and miss her immensely! She’s so thoughtful & really takes the time to listen to you (both verbally & listen to your body) to see what’s going on & the best treatment to help. Best of all, she has such a light touch I barely know I even have needles in! I would, hands down, recommend her to anyone!

I have been seeing Jen for 2 years or so and she always does a wonderful job during our acupuncture sessions. I always leave feeling like superman, and calm at the same time. I see her every three months, her treatments last that long for me. The prices and location are great, and she is wonderful to be around!

I’ve been going to Jen for many months. I found her at Brooklyn Acupuncture Project and was really happy to discover that she takes my insurance.
At each visit she listens closely to what might be ailing you and uses her skill, intuition and a light touch to fix it. I’ve consistently come away feeling well-​rested and with my ailments affected positively whether it be muscle soreness or trouble sleeping or with hormonal issues.
