Geneseed Acupuncture

I cannot say enough about how amazing Christina and the folks at her practice are. From my first contact with her assistant, to my initial consult visit, and to each and every subsequent treatment session, I always felt well cared for as a patient.
Christina’s knowledge and expertise is impressive. Yet she is so easy going and mellow that she made me feel at ease immediately, which was absolutely essential for me as I was going through the most stressful time in my life. It has not been an easy path that we’ve been on, and working with Geneseed has helped tremendously to help alleviate the anxiety that comes with dealing with complex medical treatments.
Her abilities to evaluate, treat and recommend are phenomenal, not to mention her willingness to be flexible in doing her best to accommodate someone with an insane schedule and all sorts of caveats!
I would strongly recommend Christina and Geneseed to anyone who is looking to supplement their standard treatment with alternative methods in an effort to maximize your chances for a positive outcome.

I highly recommend Christina for her acupuncture skills as well as gut instincts which supported my ultimately successful attempt at pregnancy at 42. I originally met her through my fertility clinic as she was the only acupuncturist with access to do treatments pre and post-​IVF. She was amazing at helping me navigate the bureaucracy of the clinic and gave me very personalized weekly treatments after that always catering to my own physical and emotional state. She is very experienced and has the ideal bedside manner to work with women.

Christina is a wonderful human being. As a coach she was able to support and motivate me simultaneously. Her challenging questions helped add structure and strategy to my thinking without derailing my creativity and energy. She has a great ability to zero in on what is really important while staying focused on what needs to get done. Christina is an astute and active listener who came prepared every session to meet my needs.

I’ve been seeing Christina for acupuncture every week for about two months, and I intend to continue for at least four more months. She is so knowledgeable about acupuncture, nutrition, alternative medicine, and, most importantly, the mind-​body connection. I have never had medical care as personalized as this. She spends the first 20 – 30 minutes of each appointment listening to you talk about how you’re feeling and offering suggestions about food, supplements, exercise, sleep, meditation, and anything else that seems like it might be helpful. The acupuncture treatment itself lasts about 20 minutes. The acupuncture beds are heated, and she has these special lamps to make sure you stay warm. She’ll also play a relaxation recording of your choice (my favorite is the ocean waves). Every time I leave Christina’s office I am a little more balanced, serene, and whole, and I feel so fortunate to be working with her.

I’m 44 years old and 6 months pregnant and have absolutely no doubt that Christina Burns’s acupuncture, herbal medicine, knowledge and advice was instrumental in helping me achieve this pregnancy. I got pregnant with my first child effortlessly at 40 but after that, tried hopelessly for 2 years. I finally found Christina and began seeing her religiously every week. After a couple of months, I did my first and only IVF at Cornell and got pregnant on my first try. Before Christina, I had seen a number of other acupuncturists and tried other infertility methods who didn’t work for me. Every time I go for my acupuncture appointment with Christina, both my mind and body experience an immediate response. I leave her warm and pleasant office feeling relaxed, invigorated, positive and full of energy. My husband (who is a sceptic of anything «alternative») also swears by Christina and visits her as often as he can. I couldn’t recommend Christina Burns enough — in fact, 5 of my friends are going to Christina as per my recommendation and are as happy with her treatment as I am. If you are trying to get pregnant and are having difficulties, don’t waste one more minute and call Christina for an appointment.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Christina to treat a bout of fatigue and low energy. Not only does her acupuncture treatment give me an immediate boost (that leaves me feeling like I’m floating the minute I walk out of the clinic), she has been coaching me with a nutrition plan that goes hand in hand with the acupuncture. She’s quite knowledgeable about the links between body and mind and has an intuitive way of «seeing» what is going on with me, to figure out the best treatment. I feel «lighter» than I have in a long time, and I am regaining my energy day by day, the natural way. Aside from this, she has a delightfully warm and caring approach, which is much appreciated from a health practitioner! I highly recommend working with her.

Began receiving my first few treatments a few weeks ago. The greatest thing about Christina and her practice is how intertwined her success is with my results. More often than not, particularly in the healthcare world, and especially in NY, I’ve often felt like a number, just another worried guy in a long line. Not here. Right off the bat, was greeted warmly and professionally, and i’m happy to report compounding results. She’s also gone above and beyond the call of duty, from simple stuff like answering questions off hours, to actually accommodating me last minute. Very impressed. It’s nice to have someone have your back and go to extra mile, particularly in my particular case.
