Inner Spark Acupuncture & Wellness

Amy is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, caring and friendly. I’ve always had great results and on several occasions she has been able to see me last minute and has really saved me. She has a background in massage as well and will often incorporate it into her treatments as well as deep stretches, aroma therapy and cupping.
I highly recommend Amy and am sure you’ll have a positive experience!

I’ve been dealing with some pain issues for quite a while now and never really considered acupuncture a solution for me after having tried it for migraines some years back with no relief. A close friend of mine reminded me that it may help for back pain and gave me a couple of referrals. Amy accepts my insurance, so I scheduled with her.
Scheduling is easy — you can do it online, via email, probably text, and of course in person. Amy has evening hours a couple of days in the week which is very convenient!
The office itself appears to be a massage/​acupuncture office where individual business owners rent out space. It’s a soothing, quiet office on Park, and I have always been able to find parking easily.
Amy is great! She’s well educated in Chinese medicine, and will describe everything she’s doing, what the benefits are, and why it’s believed to help. She’s got a great sense of humor, is very understanding, empathetic, and kind. She’s just a cool person that I’m happy to know.
I’m skeptical that the treatment is doing much for me. I feel good when I leave the office, and there have been some days I felt better the day following my appointment. But after 9 appointments, I don’t feel much different… If anything, it’s helped my muscles relax a bit, but it is short-​lived. Even though it’s not the magical cure I’d hoped it would be, I’d recommend Amy if you’re looking into trying Chinese medicine for yourself.

Amy treated my hip recently. I could barely walk beforehand. She used infrared and stim-​acupuncture (with some electricity) on my key areas. I healed much faster than I expected and was able to walk without problems through the airports where I was headed in only a couple days. Thank you! (I was not paid and got no freebies for this testimonial… she’s just that good!)

I found Amy last year, initally for massage for a varitey of problems. Plantars Fasciitus, PMS, stress. Amy is such a nice person, funny, easy to be around. She is the first person who performed acupunture on me and she helped me beyond what I ever thought possible. I’ve tried other acuputrists since (I live in NYC most of the year) and can’t find anyone of Amy’s calibre. She is very gifted and I can’t recommend her enough not only for her abilities but for her the compassion she exhibits in practice.

I first saw Amy Thornton for Acupuncture in 2010 for a knee strain I had from rollerblading. I had strained my MCL while rollerblading according to the Chiropractor. Seeking Chiropractic adjustments initially, the pain still lingered and I would only get temporary relief. I heard Amy had amazing massage treatments and was confident that her Acupuncture would be just as great. After thoroughly assessing my strain and doing some tests, I hopped on the table. It wasn’t my knee after all, it was my IT band she said. She began treating the sides of my leg and shin. Two treatments later, no pain! None! I was so happy that I was up and running again, I began my yoga practice and rollerblading only a week later. She has helped me tremendously with all my aches from head to toe! I can tell you, I have popped in for shoulder related issues after a car accident and her touch relieved the long-​standing pain I was feeling as well. She knew exactly what muscle group that was the real culprit! Her knowledge and compassion in treating shines. So pleased with my treatments! Highly recommend Amy Thornton!

I’ve known Amy for over 10 years. She is a kind, considerate and gifted healer. I would recommend her for Acupuncture, massage and Bodywork.

I’ve been a long time skeptic of energy work and acupuncture but I’ve come to realize that it’s really the healer that matters and less so the technique that’s used. I went to Amy initially for a massage but since then have received energy and acupuncture work. I internalize stress to the point that I had an idiopathic eye disease for many years so stress management has been my primary focus. I think the most surprising aspect of Amy was her ability to see things I was doing, treat it, and then offer advice on how to prevent it in the future. I told her that my shoulders get very tight and within minutes she knew the cause, relieved the symptoms, and now I know why it’s happening. It’s been an enormous help and to think one doctor had prescribed me muscle relaxers when all I had to do was fix my breathing while under stress. I highly recommend Inner Spark!

Amy is an extremely talented and experienced healer. She combines acupuncture, energy work, and massage for a truly unique and wonderful experience. She makes you feel safe, grounded, and loved. Her treatments are effective and nurturing and I highly recommend her for anybody seeking more emotional balance and stay relief from emotional pain!

Amy is truly a gifted practitioner. She has a genuinely kind heart and it comes across in her treatments. Amy really took the time to talk to me and made me feel at ease. I came to see her feeling run down and extremely stressed. After her acupuncture treatment I left feeling like a whole new person!
I very grateful to have found her and will definitely be seeing her regularly. If you’re new to acupuncture or even if you’ve tried it before and are looking for a new acupuncturist, your search is over!

I’m no stranger to the world of acupuncture and massage, and Amy has always exceeded my expectations.
I started seeing her initially for deep tissue massage, as that’s my favorite thing for a) relaxation, b) masochism, and c) correcting the insane damage I do to myself by sitting at a computer and having crappy posture. Gifted massage therapist, easy & funny conversationalist, and all around cool chick. I also like that she gives me actionable stuff I can do on my own to improve my problem areas.
Now I’ve been to her a few times for acupuncture as well and am super impressed with her skills and professionalism. She’s treated me for allergies as well as pain from some chronic injuries. I like acupuncture a lot and don’t freak out with the needles, but even so it can be a tad nerve-​wracking. Amy is gentle and talks you through everything she’s doing, making the process darn-​near painless.
We’ve also done a little bit of consultation some other health issues, and I’m scheduled to do a more thorough intake to figure out what supplements and dietary changes make sense for me. Will update once I know more about that.
I highly recommend Amy and look forward to having her in my arsenal of health-​care providers for many years to come!
