Soho Acupuncture By Jen Becker's Online Review Report Card

I’ve been seeing Arlen at Soho Acupuncture By Jen Becker for over a year now, and I can honestly say that Arlen is a true healer. Arlen’s expertise in acupuncture and holistic healing has helped me with everything from pain to stress management, and I’ve noticed significant improvements in my overall well-being. What truly sets Arlen apart is her intuitive approach—she doesn’t just treat symptoms, but works to balance and restore the body as a whole. I always leave each session feeling lighter, more centered, and with a renewed sense of vitality. I’m so grateful for Arlen and the healing work she does at Soho Acupuncture By Jen Becker. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your health and healing journey, I can’t recommend Arlen enough!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Arlen. I’ve gone to her during both of my pregnancies and not only has she relaxed me and given me the best sleep in my 3rd trimester (which has had some very sleepless nights) she also helped induce both labors! She has wonderful energy and I can’t recommend her enough.

I've been working with Arlen at Soho Acupuncture for almost 5 years, and I can't recommend her highly enough. She is incredibly thoughtful, patient, and a phenomenal listener, everything you could ever want in a practitioner. Her care and attention to detail make every session truly personalized, and her expertise has been invaluable in improving my overall well-being. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares and creates a calm, healing environment, Arlen is absolutely the one!

Fantastic ❤️

After a rotator cuff tear, and after intense physical therapy, my shoulder was still stiff and in some pain. After my first acupuncture session with Arlen the stiffness was gone, and after a few more sessions (including cupping) the pain was also a thing of the past. Also, my whole body and energy improved. Arlen listened, was reassuring and careful. I would highly recommend her services!!

I started seeing Arlen over a year ago when I was struggling to find answers to health issues that were severely impacting the quality of my daily life. I went from one doctor to the next, feeling lost and alone with no end in sight. But, finding Arlen changed my life. She wasn’t stumped by the issues I presented to her, like so many others were, and for the first time, I felt like I had someone in my corner. Arlen is one of the most kind-hearted, warm, patient and caring people I have ever met. She is so passionate and knowledgeable, and incredibly intuitive. She has such a gift, and has always made me feel so seen and heard. When I began seeing Arlen, I didn’t realize the effect that acupuncture could have on me emotionally, but it has completely shifted my relationship to my body, and has allowed me to be in tune with myself in a way that I didn’t know was possible. She turned an experience that felt really difficult, into something enjoyable and made me understand that healing isn’t linear. I used to get so frustrated when I felt like my body was taking a step backwards after making progress, but now when something feels off, I have the knowledge to know how to get my body back to where it feels good, and that is something that will serve me for the rest of my life. There are a lot of band-aid solutions and quick fixes to many issues, but early on Arlen once said something to me that someone had said to her which is that, “there is a short and long road, and a long but short road.” I remember her saying, “we’ll take the latter.” And, that’s exactly what we have done. It’s hard to believe how far my body has come from where we started, but I now feel so much more connected to myself and have healed in a way that at one point felt unimaginable. This is all because of Arlen, who has remained in my corner and supported me throughout the process. I absolutely love her and cannot recommend her enough! She is such a gem and seeing her is truly one of the best parts of my week! I'm eternally grateful to have found Arlen and Soho Acupuncture by Jen Becker!! :)

I saw Arlen for about 10 bi-weekly Gua Sha sessions last year and had a life-changing experience. I'd dealt with multiple chronic pain issues and struggled with injuries as a professional dancer. While typical massages and bodywork had been beneficial, Arlen's use of Gua Sha seemed to help heal years of muscular discomfort and pain. Arlen was incredibly sweet, smart, and professional, and personalized my treatment to suit my needs. I could not recommend her or this technique more.

Finding Arlen at Soho Acupuncture by Jen Becker has been transformational for me. I like to say she has magic hands! Arlen is not only an incredible listener, healer, guide, acupuncturist, woman and human, but she is patient and determined to make sure I feel seen. Since working together, she has supported my gut health, seasonal allergies, immune system imbalance, sickness, support in hormonal shifts, mental health, sleep support, muscle and back pain, and overall health. Everytime I walk into the studio I immediately feel a shift. I could not recommend Arlen or Jen more for all your acupuncture needs.

I’ve been getting acupuncture from Jen for nearly a year now and I only have great things to say! Jen’s space always feels like a calming refuge from the city. I started seeing Jen when I was trying to get pregnant, and continued acupuncture weekly throughout my pregnancy. At every session, Jen takes time to listen to my symptoms for that week and always adjusts her treatment based on what my body needs. I also appreciate how she has the table set up in advance with different pillow and prop arrangements as my body has changed throughout my pregnancy.

"Jen Becker has been an integral part of my health journey. I am now in month 6 of regular acupuncture sessions, and can say with certainty it has been the most helpful part of my care regimen. I have seen improvements across many ailments after a tough year where my body felt like the red engine light was on everywhere. A few examples: 1) fatigue - I am feeling energized again and able to work longer hours with focus, and have more stamina in my workouts 2) bladder/gut issues - i had persistent bladder sensitivity and gut issues resulting in constant nausea for a good two years - I finally feel better thanks to Jen's help 3) anxiety/depression - there have been times on the treatment table when I cried happy tears because I felt "in my body" for the first time in a long time - my thoughts were calmer and less scattered, my body felt less shaky, and I felt more at ease in my own skin. 4) painful periods - for the first time in years, I can function during my period rather than be stuck in bed all day. Less vaginal pain and cramps - all around the commitment to treatment has shown more improvement than anything I have ever tried for period pain. In addition - I am on two chinese herbal formulas she recommended that are helping with painful periods and digestion GREATLY. Jen provides me with such a tailored regimen and treatment, compassionate care every single week, an empathetic ear, and endless patience. Every week she decides how to adjust my treatment, whether it's adding red light therapy (incredible for my gut/bladder/period issues), or adding moxa (so so relaxing). Soho Acupuncture By Jen Becker is my safe haven in all of NYC. I am so grateful!!!!"
