Customer Reviews

Amy Pagliarini Sep 24, 2021: I have been seeing Stacey for a few years now. What I love about her is that every session, I feel seen, heard and never rushed. She is warm, down to earth and extremely knowledgeable. Her expertise gives me all the confidence in her ability to heal. I started seeing her to help with my peri-menopausal symptoms, my hot flashes are gone & my sleep has improved! Whatever “issue” I show up with she passionately and sincerely supports me. I’m beyond grateful and can’t recommend her enough.

Sofia P Aug 5, 2021: Stacey is incredible thorough and so caring. She really takes the time to listen and understand why you have come, and come up with the best solutions to your problems. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

Mary C Apr 24, 2021: I come back to Restore Wellness time and again after feeling let down by western medicine. Stacey's approach is both holistic and individual. She acknowledges what's going on in your life and how that manifests in your body (and vice versa, how what's going on in your body can impact your mental and emotional wellbeing). I feel like I learn more about myself in each session and leave with a restored connection of mind and body.

M.M. Apr 11, 2021: Stacey is a rare find, I think. She is very knowledgeable, deeply thoughtful and caring, and consistently provides truly excellent care and suggestions/feedback. I cannot recommend her more highly.

Jordana E Jan 24, 2021: I’ve been going to Stacey for over 8 years and she truly is a miracle worker. She has a calm, gentle demeanor, which instantly makes you feel comfortable. I was thrilled when she was able to reopen the office, knowing that all the proper precautions are taken makes me feel at ease during my appointment.

Judith Boroson Dec 3, 2020: I am always amazed by the depth and extent of Stacey Kaplan's knowledge about the body and how to address the various problems that arise through overuse, misuse as well as discomforts arising from the ever-present mind-body effects. Stacey is always interested, thoughtful and warm.

Inna V Jun 22, 2020: Stacey is really the best, every time I leave the place I feel so much better. She is so professional and amazing at her work. I just went to see Stacey after the COVID break, I could not wait, and was so impressed with all the new procedures and precautions. The place is spotless, very clean, the appointments are spaced out, I felt safe and amazing as always. I can turn my neck finally and I am so relaxed! Look forward to the next time. Sincerely, Inna

I am grateful.

K.J. Jun 14, 2019: I have been working with Stacey for several years, throughout changes in life and health she has always been a key support to balancing and healing my body and mind.

I highly recommend her.

She has helped me with, among other things- running injuries, digestive issues, and night sweats. I cannot say enough positive things about her.

She is professional, personable and very kind.

PAULINA R Mar 16, 2018: Stacy is a rare find in NYC. Her unique background in dance, understanding of the body and passion to heal result in the loveliest and most transformative sessions. Her eclectic approach is tailored to whatever you need the day you come to visit, she spends time talking to you first to get a good understanding of where you are physically and emotionally. Her treatments are very effective, she has really helped me release tension and regain energy. The room is also very nice, tidy and clean.

Vanessa S Jan 15, 2018: I went in for a "reset" kind of treatment. After a stressful few months of working on a project I was totally switched and my body was out of wack, my adrenals were shot and my immune system was weak from stress. Stacey carefully listened to my grievances, was very respectful of my personal space and was very kind. There's an intercom in the room too so if you get uncomfortable, you don't have to remain that way. Amazing experience. Highly recommend!

She offers targeted treatments and, when appropriate, specific strengthening or stretching exercises. She is highly professional and competent.

Venita McLemore Sep 14, 2017: Acupuncture sessions with Stacey have literally changed my life. I have less pain and more functionality in my limbs.

Bryce M May 15, 2017: I have been dealing with chronic pain for almost three years and have gone to multiple different PT and acupuncture sites over this time. In the one session I have had thus far with Stacy she was able to release tension and pinpoint spots that were never even addressed in all this time. I already feel much better and even my mood has begun to be more upbeat. I would highly recommend Stacy to anyone whether you have minor or a chronic issue she is the best!

Matthew Frank May 6, 2017: This was my first acupuncture experience and I'm already feeling extremely positive results after just 3 days.

D.L.S. Nov 5, 2015: I have seen Stacey several times in the past and she has been unbelievably helpful with my myriad physical issues.

From the moment you walk in, she really takes the time to listen to you and mentally absorb all that you are telling her. You can see that her mental wheels are turning as she listens, trying to come up with the best plan of action to get you feeling better soon. Her technique is very gentle and she also incorporates a hint of massage and sometimes essential oil into your session. A ++

F.J. Jul 15, 2015: I had never been to an acupuncturist before and was a little nervous. Stacey Kaplan was patient and calm with me.

I will definitely recommend Restore Wellness and visit again myself in the future.

L.F. Apr 29, 2015: I am such a big fan of Stacey! I have been seeing her for almost two years and she has helped me with anything and everything I have needed - muscles, tensions, sinuses, stress, etc. She is fantastic.

Karen Roth Apr 5, 2015: Though not a dancer, I was referred through friends in the dance world and can not rave enough about the life saving pain relief I have experienced from acupuncture and by far the best massages I have ever had. I have referred others who have had similar success .

Andrea Nouryeh Mar 19, 2015: Stacey is a former dancer and knows the body very well. She is a skilled practitioner of massage therapy and acupuncture. Her patient, caring manner and her concern for each individual she sees is extraordinary. For those somewhat squeamish about the sensations of needles, she teaches a breathing technique that allows you to breathe with each insertion and trains you to relax. I've had acupuncture before but Stacey is by far the best I have seen.

Steven Feder Mar 11, 2015: Stacy Kaplan is a healer. Was recommended by a colleague who also felt that, yes acupuncture is a proven way to relieve pain but who administrated it is just as important Ms Kaplan is a caring, gentle individual who I know will do or try anything to heal my pain. Not bad for your soul as well!

Sandra S Mar 5, 2015: Stacey has this calm demeanor about her which relaxes you when you are in her presence. She is also caring and want to help you improve your ailments.

Oh, and a wealth of knowledge about all of anything acupuncture! And my digestion's better & allergies are gone! Thank you, Stacey!

Jordana E Sep 24, 2013: I went to Stacey originally for my migraines, after 2 sessions I felt relief that I never thought would come. She takes the time to listen to your complaints and then works her magic. I am immediately relaxed by her calm, soothing demeanor and highly recommend her.

Gina Fata Moeller Sep 11, 2013: Stacey has a great talent for healing people. I think she has "healing hands" that work with your body to make you feel better than when you walked into her office. She heals your mind, body, and spirit. Stacey is knowledgable, professional, and kind. Stacey is a "beautiful spirit", because she is a great person as well as massage therapist and acupuncturist. Her soul is loving and gentle to your body, which helps her to understand what is going on with each individual.

Walking into Stacy's office unable to walk well, but after our acupuncture session I was able to apply weight. Besides the effective treatments, Stacy helps you recover out of her office with exercises, heat or ice suggestions, and other ointments to apply for a clear road to recovery. I highly recommend Stacy.

Tom C Jun 10, 2013: I have had upper back problems for a long time (painful muscle tightness that turns into knots which result in overall stiffness and discomfort). I have literally tried everything. Seeing Stacey for acupuncture has been the only thing that has proven to be a long-term effective solution. I would highly recommend Stacey.

Emily S May 14, 2013: I went to see Stacey for trigger point acupuncture to help relax my shoulders which have been subject to on going tension (and dislocations). I've only had one session so far but Stacey immediately filled me with confidence. She listed carefully as I described my condition, really seemed to understand the medical problem and my concerns and described a treatment plan that I am really happy with. Even though it is early days, I would highly recommend Stacey.

Rasmus Johansen May 8, 2013: Stacey is a great acupuncturist, pure and simple. Have had great results both with shorter and longer term ailments. She's also great just for "tune ups." Can't recommend her enough.

Jenny E Apr 20, 2013: I have several serious health problems and maximum stress the last two years. My acupuncture session pulled a cork wedged somewhere within and there was such a release I cannot explain. I have traveled the world and this was the first session I've had, outside of Ageless Acupuncture in Seattle, that truly helped. She knows what she is doing and takes the time to truly hit one's specific meridian lines and points. I cannot express enough joy and gratitude from her help.

Amy H Nov 18, 2012: Stacey's calm professionalism and caring are clearly evident in her approach to addressing my issues. She made sound well founded recommendations and patiently explained what she was doing and it's potential benefits. Stacey employed a combination of therapies to tackle a stubborn issue and I began to feel some relief in her skillful confident hands. I will most certainly return.

Robert D Jul 23, 2012: I was doubtful that acupuncture could give me relief for my chronic shoulder pain, but after referring some friends to Stacy (she's always been my favorite massage therapist) and hearing them rave about her acupuncture, I decided to give it a try. What a huge difference it made immediately! She released muscles that had been knotted for years. She takes her time, is an expert at what she does, and has a genuinely caring bedside manner. I heartily recommend.

Teri H Mar 23, 2012: Stacey has been my massage therapist for many years and recently she's become my acupuncturist. She is a warm, caring, intuitive person and a skilled, knowledgeable, talented therapist. I trust her implicitly to treat me and she informs me about how to help myself with homeopathic remedies, stretching etc. She is the best. I wouldn't go to anyone else. I couldn't ask for anything more.

M.P. Feb 17, 2012: Acupuncture is very new to me at a promising age of 57. Stacey's approach to the care and attention in combining Eastern and Western medicine is eye opening. Even for someone who has never had acupuncture. She makes you feel comfortable, explains every step to you so you know what to expect. After a few weeks I can see how her care into healing has helped improve my various medical conditions. She is very unique in her approach to healing others. I would recommend her w/o reservation.
