Bipolar and Insomnia
Jessica is the perfect acupuncturist for me. I came to
Jessica to treat Bipolar Disorder, and her knowledge
of Western medicine allowed her to be completely
respectful of the balance I was looking for between
pharmaceutical medicine and Chinese medicine. As
my treatment with Jessica has continued, I've found
myself less reliant on medication. I now sleep without
taking a sleep aid. I feel consistently stable and well,
and I have no doubt that that is due to Jessica's work.

Infertility... then a healthy baby!
My husband and I tried to get pregnant for 5 years prior to
my treatments with Jessica. We believe her acupuncture
treatments and prescribed herbal formulas were the key to our
subsequent pregnancy and the birth of our daughter Frances. Jessica's treatments were
caring, thorough, and supportive.

Menstrual Pain and Overall Wellness
I was referred to Jessica through a good friend of mine. I had never received such sincere
care and thoughtfully prepared treatments like Jessica's. She spoke to me before
each treatment, cared to know about not just my physical state but also my life and my inner
state, and created specialized treatments for me that provided exactly what I needed. I
wanted to focus on my menstrual cramps. I used to pass out from the pain from my cramps,
but when I started getting treated by Jessica, the pain diminished, and I was able to go
through my menstrual cycle without the extreme emotional waves. Jessica was also kind and
generous in referring me to other medical specialists, and she went out of her way to help me
when I needed it most. Jessica heals with a holistic perspective, combining the physical,
mental/emotional, and inner state of my condition to prepare the treatment for me. As a
result, I am more in tune with my body's needs, and I feel more in balance than I was without
acupuncture. I'm truly blessed to have been her patient, and I look forward to more
treatments when I return to New York!

Upset Stomach and Anxiety
For many years I have heard positive things about acupuncture from colleagues and friends,
which naturally peaked my curiosity. Last fall I began to have an upset stomach and I was
emotionally upset. I thought acupuncture might help because I didn't feel western medicine
was going to cure me. After doing a search on the internet, I began to read Jessica's bio. Part
of her philosophy is to understand how emotions can effect a person's well-being. After
being a patient of Jessica's, I feel my life has stabilized emotionally, and physically my health
has improved. I look forward to my treatments as a place where I can relax from this chaotic
world.

Martial Arts Injuries
As a martial arts/fitness instructor, I am constantly subjecting my body to rigorous physical
training on a daily basis. As a result, my body experiences wear-and-tear on many levels, all
of which are treated quickly and with precision whenever I visit Ms. Yunker's office. Ms.
Yunker is an exceptionally adept healer who helps keep me in tip-top shape with weekly
treatments that not only address my overall health, but specific issues as well (such as
sprains, bruises, tension, etc.). She has my highest recommendation!

Depression, Digestion, Sleep, and Salivary Stone
Jessica Yunker is the most dedicated, comprehensive healer I have ever been to. The main
health areas Jessica has treated me for include mood, digestion, and sleep conditions. Most
recently, Jessica has treated me for a salivary gland stone and infection. Through
acupuncture and Chinese herbs my condition has improved and these treatments prevented
the need for an invasive surgical procedure and removal of my gland. Through her care, I
have come to appreciate and value Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as my primary
health system for the treatment of these conditions, as well as the maintenance of my general
well-being. Jessica is an extremely thorough and caring health care provider. I recommend
TCM and Jessica Yunker to friends and family on a regular basis, and truly believe that being
in her care can improve health conditions and quality of life.

Sports Injuries and Sinusitis
I first started acupuncture to help heal a sports injury that had still been bothering me after
several months of rest. After such a positive experience, I now go to acupuncture for
everything from sports injuries, to sinusitis, to just feeling like I need more energy. Jessica is
extremely easy to work with and takes great care in treating her patients. Her herbal
prescriptions have been particularly helpful as well! I am very grateful to have acupuncture
and Jessica in my life!

Neck / Shoulder Pain and Depression
I originally started coming for acupuncture treatment to relieve neck & shoulder tension that
regular massages no longer helped. Immediately I noticed improvement. I also use
acupuncture to treat my low grade depression. I find it helps lessen the intensity of my
symptoms & sometimes helps improve my productivity. I've been treated by two other
acupuncturists, and I prefer coming to Jessica because I find her to be very thorough,
helpful to solve my ailments, & of course very pleasant to be around.

Depression
Although it sounds cliche, I can honestly say that the acupuncture & herb treatment that I
received from Jessica has changed my life. When I came to her I had been struggling with
depression for 2 years, and had already tried seeing a therapist. After just a couple of weeks
of once weekly acupuncture and daily herbs I began to feel noticeably better. I describe the
experience as feeling like the "clouds" that had always been looming over my head were
getting thinner and thinner with each passing week. It's been about four months now and
when I think back on the person I was when I started I hardly recognize her (thankfully!). I
am so grateful to have been referred to Jessica by one of my friends...I refer others often.

Night Sweats and Menopause
Jessica Yunker is extremely bright, compassionate, dedicated, truthful and a consummate
professional in her practice of acupuncture. Last year I was suffering with a severe case of
night sweats due to menopause. I would be up for hours throwing the covers on and off and
would have to change nightgowns. I was getting very little sleep and it was making it
difficult for me to function on a daily basis at my best. I read Dr. Christiane Northrup's book,
"The Wisdom of Menopause", and she suggested that acupuncture would be a method of
treatment. I did not want to take any hormones or other medication so acupuncture appealed
to me. Several people in my office who were dealing with different issues raved about Jessica
and how she helped them so I contacted her. After several months of treatment I am thrilled
to say that my night sweats have greatly reduced. I am able to sleep better and my general
outlook has improved because of that. I truly believe it was due to Jessica's course of
treatment. I would not hesitate to recommend Jessica to others.

Chronic Sinusitis, Tension Headaches, and Dental Pain
I have been seeing Jessica for two years, with excellent results. Her treatments have helped
me to effectively manage chronic sinus problems and tension headaches. I've also turned to
Jessica for more acute problems. Recently Jessica treated me immediately after a Root Canal.
The treatment stopped the pain and discomfort in its tracks, and I was able to recover from
the Root Canal without any medication. Jessica also has an excellent "bedside manner." She
asks questions and, more importantly, she listens. She provides a relaxed, professional and
friendly environment that really complements her treatments.

Overall Health and Wellness
While I initially sought out acupuncture treatment to address specific problems, I quickly
learned that it offers even greater benefits in creating whole body balance and wellness.
Since I have gone to see Jessica my mood, energy levels and overall health have improved.
She is a caring, thorough and skillful professional.

Anxiety and Panic Attacks
I started receiving acupuncture from Jessica to treat my anxiety and panic attacks. Within a
few months of treatment, my anxiety had subsided significantly and my overall mental health
had improved due to Jessica's specialized treatments as well as her thorough professional
investment in my health and well being. I would recommend Jessica very highly as a health
care practitioner.

Migraines
I came to acupuncture hoping to get relief from constant and debilitating migraine headaches
and the harsh medicines that are often used to treat them. After patient listening, thoughtful
questions and attention to my body and experience, Jessica devised an herbal and
acupuncture treatment that has worked for me and my lifestyle. When I came in embarrassed
to admit that I had missed more than a few days of my herbs, she was quick to reassure me
and never passed judgement -- she simply helped and encourage me to find ways to work
them into my life. I now have fewer and less severe migraines. I look forward to appointments
with Jessica because of her sensitive listening and true desire to help me achieve well being
through acupuncture and herbs.

Back Pain, Migraines, Plantar Fasciitis, Stress, and Depression
Jessica doesn't represent the stereotype you may have of an acupuncturist with a storefront
location - she combines an age old holistic practice with the realities of modern life. Her
personality is infectious and she's as bouncy as the curls in her hair! Jessica has a fabulous
office in a high-end, professional, midtown office building. I first went to see Jessica for
acute back pain and imagine my surprise when she was gradually able to eradicate it by
putting some well-placed needles in my body (fyi - if you have back pain, ask for "stroke the
dragon" - wow!). Now, Jessica might want to explain to you the "why's and how's" of
acupuncture, I personally don't really need to understand it - for me the end result is proof
enough that she knows what she's doing! She's treated me for migraines, plantar fasciitis,
stress, depression and the aforementioned back pain, all with positive results. And if you're
afraid of needles, she has a great method for distraction during the treatment - you won't
even know you've been needled! Jessica is compassionate and has true faith in the benefits
of acupuncture - after having suffered her own back injury, she is a walking testimonial that
it can change your life (it worked so well it became her life's focus!). Take advice from this
initial skeptic - if you are contemplating acupuncture, make an appointment with Jessica
Yunker for a consultation - it will be a great decision!

Sleep, Sugar Craving, and Stress
Ever since I started acupuncture with Jessica I have felt better in every way. My sleep has
improved, my sugar cravings have been reduced, and my stress has become manageable. I
look forward to every session and am never disappointed. I truly believe that I look, feel,
and function better than I have in years thanks to my sessions with Jessica.
