Kristin Cheng, L.Ac., MSTOM - acupuncturist and herbalist | NYC

Kristin Cheng, L.Ac., MSTOM
Acupuncturist, Herbalist, Owner

Kristin Cheng, L.Ac., MSTOM is a licensed acupuncturist and an NCCAOM certified diplomate of Acupuncture. She received her MSTOM from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine. She has advanced training in electro-acupuncture, fertility, and Chinese herbal medicine.


Kristin was first introduced to eastern medicine during an acupressure class in 2006 and was struck by the way in which Chinese Medicine offers a truly holistic lens through which to understand the body. After personally experiencing the magic of Chinese Medicine when she got relief from headaches and low back pain, she later became inspired to dive deeper and become a practitioner.


Kristin is a second generation healer. Her mother was a nurse and inspired an interest in healthcare from a young age. Being a life-long mover bolstered her interest - when you push your body, you have to learn how to take care of it! As a child she was a competitive gymnast, and dancer, and later completed a BA in Dance and Performance Studies at UC Berkeley. As an adult she’s explored yoga, cycling, Crossfit, pilates and more.

As a mom and New Yorker, she loves meeting her patients where they are to collaborate on their health goals and provide the best of Chinese Medicine.

What Our Patients Have to Say

Gotham Holistic Review

"I've been going to see Dr. Kristin for quite some time now due to back/neck issues I've been dealing with for years, and I must say - it really does work wonders! From my first consultation to every appointment in between, Dr. Kristin has been kind and always attentive to what aches and pains I have. She makes sure to target the areas that are hurting you, and constantly checks in on you / with you to make sure you are comfortable. I mean really, what more could you ask for?!"

Gotham Holistic review 2

"I've been going to Gotham Holistic and seeing Kristin Cheng, LAc for 3 years now, I highly recommend going to see her. She was highly attentive to me, my needs, and my comfort level. Quickly, I was put at ease by her attentive nature and able to be present when I did my first acupuncture consultation to the present day. I go here because Kristin Cheng is immensely skilled and so down to earth that I can digest her deep knowledge to make better health choices in my life."
