Kyle Ives Garson - Dipl. Ac., L.Ac.

FOUNDING PRACTITIONER

Kyle is a New York State Licensed Acupuncturist, is certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, has received his Master of Science from Tri-State College of Acupuncture, and is currently a professor at Pacific College of Health and Science - New York Campus . Kyle's multi-style practice focuses primarily on Japanese and modern Sport Medicine Acupuncture while integrating various Chinese Traditions of Acupuncture Therapy, Moxabuxtion, bodywork and Essential Oils. Beyond his experience treating a wide variety of injuries and disorders, Kyle holds a special interest in issues involving auto-immunity, chronic cyclical disorders, gastro-intestinal problems, athletic injury, as well as general health within the LGBQI and Trans Communities.

As the son of two cancer survivors, Kyle has had full exposure to the outer limits of Western Medicine and was introduced to the integration of Eastern and Western healing very early in life. His interests in Philosophy, Anthropology, Quantum Physics, Linguistics, and Meditation deeply inform his practice - reinforcing from many angles that our bodies and minds are systems which mirror and also integrate into the larger systems of our communities and our planet, which in-turn reflect celestial systems larger still. He is fascinated by how deeply we are connected and engulfed in the moving - living cycles all around us. 

His previous education in Photography and Critical Theory at Parsons School of Design predisposed Kyle to passionately engage in working with his hands and solidified his values of craftsmanship and skill. He has found through the practice of Acupuncture that he best uses his hands by using his heart. 

"...

Still, what I want in my life

is to be willing

to be dazzled—

to cast aside the weight of facts

and maybe even

to float a little

above this difficult world.

I want to believe I am looking

into the white fire of a great mystery.

I want to believe that the imperfections are nothing—

that the light is everything — that it is more than the sum

of each flawed blossom rising and falling. And I do."

Judd Engelbrecht - M.S, L.Ac.

ASSOCIATE PRACTITIONER

Judd is a New York State Licensed Acupuncturist and graduated from Pacific College of Health and Sciences with a Masters of Science in Oriental Medicine. His specialties include issues related to mental health, digestive disorders, insomnia, pain-management, orthopedic concerns, and Cosmetic Facial Acupuncure techniques. Judd’s experience includes many other medical and emotional disorders which he has successfully treated and managed. Judd comes to us with a special focus in LGBTQ+ health and is passionate about creating a safe, affirming space for all. 

After many successful years in the Advertising industry, working as a Director of Project Management, Judd realized that he needed a change.  After suffering a sciatica flare up Judd went to an acupuncturist on a whim.  He was stunned at the power of acupuncture and how quickly his sciatica was resolved.  It was a serendipitous experience from which he became passionate about the field.  He soon found himself researching training.   It was not long before he received his masters from PCHS. 

The holistic nature of Chinese medicine, and the notion that the mind and body are inextricably linked, is a core tenet of the work that drew him in immediately. His innate empathy and highly developed communicative style, after years of working in project management, was a perfect match for the treatment room.  

The rest, as they say, is history.   Judd has a natural talent for listening to his patients and understanding the specific needs of each person.  These unique combination of skills allows Judd create specific treatments that keep his patients coming back.
