All hail Christina Hatgis, who somehow magically got my knee to be bendable again! Well, maybe it's not magic. Maybe it's the result of attentiveness and talent and a wise and gentle care. In any case, she's a gem.

Christina really listens and is deeply invested in the whole health and wellbeing of her patients. Her treatments have helped me manage injury, illness, and stress. I leave our sessions feeling grounded, rejuvenated, and with a renewed sense of clarity and connection.

I went to Christina for recurring pulled muscles in my feet, calves and hips. She listened attentively, offering effective exercises to alleviate symptoms and daily practice to prevent future injuries. As a skeptic, I am happily pleased by how successful Christina’s acupuncture is for me.

Christina takes the time to ask questions and really listen, which is rare in today’s healthcare settings. During our acupuncture sessions, she has helped me connect the dots of a larger health picture so I can build real wellness strategies into my life.
Claiborne M
Christina’s deep wisdom and compassion make her the rarest of healers: one who can truly listen and see a patient clearly and fully. When I leave a session with her, I feel calmer and more open, I have a better understanding of my own body and overall system and I have a stronger sense of my own healing process. I would send anyone seeking support for their health to Christina.
Annie P
Working with Christina is the highlight of my week. Nutritionist/therapist/acupuncturist/trainer/friend. She really is the whole enchilada. She can see all the parts of my life and address them together, holistically and inclusively.
Jodie O
Christina is a real gem. Her experience as yoga teacher coupled with her knowledge of acupuncture, means that she treats the whole person. She is such a good listener and a very sensitive practitioner. I trust her implicitly. Over many years, she has helped me with muscular problems, thyroid issues and more. Even when I don’t have a specific problem, I always feel better after a session with Christina.
Nancy B
Christina has so much empathy, calm understanding and a wealth of knowledge that even answering routine questions I found she offered much sage advice. For instance, teaching me that hydration is not just about water intake but more hot liquids, soups and broths. And also to regain some strength after a family health crisis, I might need to eat some steak or cheeseburgers, which I did, and it worked.

ABOUT ME
Health and well-being are a birthright yet our modern world makes claiming this birthright very difficult. As an acupuncturist, long-time yoga teacher, and certified focusing professional I use tools to support myself, my family, and my patients towards better health and well-being not only for today but for the long term. I am a two-time cancer survivor who actively uses these modalities in my healing. I am committed to supporting others in their healing journeys whether to optimize and tweak health seasonally, to address chronic illness, or to strategize to break habits and create new more healthful ones.
Born in New York and raised in London, England to Greek parents, I am multi-lingual and multi-cultural. I graduated from Princeton University in 1989 and took a winding path into the healing arts. I studied yoga intensively while working in marketing during the 1990s, becoming a certified teacher in 1998. I received an associate’s degree in massage therapy from Swedish Institute in 2000 and co-owned a yoga studio (Mala Yoga) in Brooklyn, from 2007-2017. I became a certified/licensed acupuncturist in 2020 (graduating with the highest academic honors from The Pacific College of Health & Sciences in NYC) and a certified Focusing professional in 2019.
My two greatest teachers are my kids; one is in college and the other is almost there! I live in Brooklyn, NY.
