I'm typically terrible about keeping regular appts, but I never miss a session with Michael. I've received acupuncture treatments from other providers over the past 10 years, and Michael is the best... - He listens, he's not pushy, and most importantly, his treatments are so effective in keeping me feeling great.read more

I had been struggling with various issues and my doctor finally recommended acupuncture. Having never tried it, I wasn't sure what to expect but have been so happy to have discovered Michael and... Golden Light Acupuncture. In addition to the acupuncture, Michael is extremely easy to talk to and very supportive. After treatment, I find myself in a deep state of relaxation that has contributed to an increased sense of well being and overall improvement in my health. I strongly recommend Michael and his practice.read more

I went into acupuncture with some skepticism but I really respected Michael as a professional and I felt such a healing quality in his presence. I am now a regular and I understand how including... acupuncture as part of my wellness routine is improving my health. I give him 5 stars because of his 1. Intelligence, 2. Authenticity, 3. Skills, 4. Compassion, and 5. Effectivness.read more

Golden Light offers a calming environment where healing can begin. I saw Michael and he used only a few needles -- and that was enough to produce results. I felt better when I left and the feeling... lasted for days. I'll definitely be going back.read more

Michael and Marika are two of the most brilliantly beautiful souls I know. They bring excellence in care, knowledge, and execution into everything they do. To work with them is to be healed. To know... them is to adore them. I highly recommend them both without hesitation.read more

Both my daughter and I receive acupuncture treatment from Michael and I cannot express how much it has impacted our lives in such a positive way. Michael listens and provides attentive care to our... issues. He helps us to cultivate an awareness with our bodies that we carry with us long after treatments. My nine year old daughter was concerned about the "needles" but Michael's approach with children is to empower them to become part of the healing process. I highly recommend Golden Light Acupuncture!read more

Marika is simply amazing. She has a naturally kind and gentle way in her interactions and is incredibly knowledgeable in her field. She explains each step of her process in a way that evokes... feelings of safety, comfort, and welcomeness. Since seeing Marika I have been healthier in both body and mind, and am so grateful to have been recommended to her. (Re: adult sessions).read more

Having lived with aches and pains for a while, I decided to try acupuncture after meeting Michael. It has been a great experience. Michael gave me a cupping treatment also, and for the first time I... have relief in my problematic shoulder/neck area. A great and wise healer!read more

I have had acupuncture on and off for about 25 years and started seeing Michael back in Spring 2019 and have been seeing him since for various things. Initially it was for my elbow which someone... told me to get PT for. I chose acupuncture because it was has always worked for me. Michael did what he does and I walked out of there with about 75% reduction in pain. Next treatment, no pain and it has been that way to this day. I recently went to him for degenerative arthritis in my lower back which radiated down the front of my thigh. Michael addressed this and it’s gone. I have sent both my husband and son to him for various things and they report the same results. Acupuncture is nothing short of amazing. Both Michael and Marika are incredible, knowledgeable, experts in their field with great personalities! The depth of their training goes beyond acupuncture which is important to me. You will keep coming back for more, just because it feels so good.read more

Marika and Michael are both amazing humans and so dedicated to providing their clients with a safe space to heal / maintain their health. I saw Marika weekly through my pregnancy. She was incredible... at supporting the changes in my body - and knowledgeable in how to treat things that came up, including treating me (and reassuring me all was okay) when i was past my expected due date. I felt prepared for labor when it was time to deliver in part due to my weekly sessions with Marika. I am forever thankful for that.read more

Michael at Golden Light Acupuncture is an absolute 10/10. Came to Michael through a recommendation for thyroid abnormalities, which we are currently managing so I can hopefully avoid taking... medication in the future. But the biggest surprise came when I mentioned hip pain that I had been living with for years and Michael was able to alleviate my hip pain almost completely in just 2 sessions and I now experience no pain without any further treatment to the area. It sounds too good to be true but even my personal trainer could not deny that the way I walked was improved, my flexibility was improved and I was able to do new workouts with her that I was unable to attempt before due to my hip. In addition to the magic Michael performs to alleviate my physical pain, he also helps to relieve stress and emotional hardships. By incorporating moments of rest, light mediation and stretching advice he is able to truly be a holistic healer and heal the mind, body and spirit. I really enjoy my visits and always leave feeling happier then when I walked through the door.read more

Michael is an amazing acupuncturist. Not only have my sessions helped me physically, but just being in his presence brings an instant feeling of relaxation and peacefulness. I couldn't ask for a... better professional to be on my team. Thank you Michael!read more

As a perfectly young and healthy person I never really felt acupuncture was necessary or even beneficial. I couldn't have been more wrong. Turns out I do have a few aches and pains, which immediately... went away. I felt much better walking out than I did walking in. Michael did a fantastic job making my first session a very pleasant experience. If there were ten stars I'd give 10/10!read more

I feel lucky to have met Michael and his wife at an event at Stone Wave Yoga. Michael works in NYC a few days a week so I started to see him inn the city - about once a month just for wellness... check-ins. He takes very good care of you while you are there... and integrates multiple modalities in with the acupuncture... it's PURE BLISS!!! He helped me take a stress knot out of my back/neck, relieve stress overall, and release tension from the body in various areas (wherever it was showing up). Highly recommend - I always walk out feeling better than when I walked in!!read more

Being treated by Marika during my pregnancy was amazing. She helped me through so many emotions, it felt almost like therapy at times. She gave me great tools to use outside of clinic too - like... guided breathing visualizations. She and Michael are warm, caring people and go above and beyond for their patients.read more

I went to Golden Light Acpuncture for lower back and leg pain. (Sciatica) My first experience with acupuncture, Michael was able to alleviate my back pain in the initial visit. I was amazed how... effective it was. He treated my leg pain in subsequent visits in combination with physical therapy. I am now pain free and getting back to my active life style. I would highly recommend Golden Light Acpuncture.read more

Absolutely best of the best acupuncturists in New York. Their medical knowledge is top notch and their family atmosphere is relaxing and reassuring (which is the first step in healing). I just... brought my daughter into the office with a concussion and found their treatment to be both professional and effective. Thank you so much Michael & Marika we love you!read more

I have been going to Dr, Michael for some time now. I have had a lot of problems with my hip bones and had already spent a small fortune on Osteopaths. But he fixed it in a couple of visits. Not only... that, I had been having the flu repeated over and over again. He found the root of it and its cured! Feel so lucky to have found him. He gives you full attention. Doesn't have five patients going on at the same time like other acupuncturists. He has a unique style of treatment. I Highly recommend him!read more

Michael’s unique blend of acupuncture, bodywork and intuition are a great resource for my goal of maintaining optimal health. I like that Michael addresses the physical, mental and spiritual... aspects of healing. Communication has been clear, and appointment times accurate, plus Michael is very personable and passionate. I would recommend Michael’s practice to anyone interested in a refreshing approach to wellness.read more

Both Marika and Michael are outstanding practitioners. I started following Michael when he was in school for acupuncture. Now I come all the way to New Paltz from NYC to see Marika. They bring... something extra to the practice that you won't find with most acupuncturists. You will be in good hands with them. The combination of compassionate advice, self-help techniques, and an expert knowledge of the body systems make them my primary doctors.read more

I have been seeing Michael for acupuncture for about a year and a half now. I started going for one specific issue I was having and not only did I experience great relief from that issue, but I... learned so much more about myself and my body and my life through my visits with Michael. He makes sure to focus on the person as a whole, not just the symptoms they are expressing. I highly recommend Golden Light Acupuncture :)read more
