WHAT MY PATIENTS ARE SAYING
The work I have done with Colette has been the best comprehensive body work I have ever done. Her total mind body approach has been invaluable to me and transformative. We addressed hormonal issues, digestive and physical ailments each to great success. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
COLLEEN C
Before I saw Colette I had a terrible pain in my Achilles whenever I wore high heels or went to my rowing practices. After just one session the pain in the area was alleviated and now I have full mobility in that area.
GABY B
Colette is amazing! She has treated me for my unbearable lower back pain and after the first acupuncture treatment it alleviated the pressure on my back, and I was able to walk up straight. I love acupuncture because Colette communicates and lets me know every single step and why each needle is placed in its specific spot. She is knowledgeable, kind, and really cares about her patients. Acupuncture is also helping me to relax and reduce other inflammations in my body. Acupuncture is an amazing old medicine and it actually works. Thank you Colette!
BASMA B
Colette has treated me for plantar fasciitis, and low back pain. I'm always amazed at how balanced I feel afterwards. Her knowledge of the body, her confidence with the needles, and her kind and loving nature, makes for an awesome, healing experience. And the pain was much less!
DAVID W
I wish I hadn't waited so long to book my first appointment with Colette! Admittedly 'needle phobic' I had apprehensions. I never felt a thing, except the absence of lower back/sciatic pain thanks to Colette's healing powers and gentle touch. I've only had one session and I can't believe how relaxed and pain free I feel. My advice: BOOK that appointment! Get your zen on!
TRACIE H
I am grateful and incredibly thankful for Colette Sible. Acupuncture has alleviated many of my symptoms of chronic anxiety (GED) and the daily stress from being a New Yorker! Helloooo subways! Beyond that helped to maintain a healthy immune system (while others were coughing, sneezing from cold or flu) I was able to remain healthy. Colette makes her patients feel comfortable no matter what your concerns or ailments you suffer from. Her kind words and compassion as a person and practitioner do not go unnoticed. Colette changed my life and she is beyond gifted.
BIANCA M
I suffer from chronic lower back pain as well as frequent neck discomfort. Often I'm pretty sore and my muscles become very tense as I work two jobs. For the last 2 years I've seen a Chiropractor usually 1-2 times per month. I was recommended to Colette by one of my co-workers that she treats for back pain. After the first session I felt like I had been at a spa for the day. Every muscle and nerve in my body was relaxed and at peace. And it really helped lessen the pain. A wonderful experience, very effective care, and a nice calm atmosphere. Absolutely will be returning.
JOSH I
Amma helps me similarly to acupuncture by (how I imagine) moving things around, getting blood moving, getting cells moving- ends any stagnation that's amassed. The human touch of Amma, along with its unique execution, sets it apart from other types of massages.
JESSIE N
I injured my ankle last fall and it seemed to be taking forever to heal. I saw Colette for a few treatments and after the first one I could feel the blood flowing again and the swelling subside. After the third one the aches and pains stopped and after a few more I could walk normally. Surround the Dragon! It works Excellent therapy!
MATT R
I was referred to Colette by a trusted family friend so my expectations were high and ultimately exceeded by far. I was looking for treatment of leg cramps that now came with increased frequency while I slept. What I ended up with was an eye opening understanding of just how much I don’t know about my body. As someone who lives a healthy life style, practices yoga regularly, and considered myself well informed I found this awareness inspiring and challenging. It is not unusual for us to barrel through things in our busy lives in this very busy world and often at the expense of balance. Be it Amma or the acupuncture treatment, it is time to tune in and focus on the frequency that helps me understand what my body is telling me. Thanks Colette
JOHN R.
Colette's healing hands and gentle touch create an amazing acupuncture experience. I walked away feeling an amazing change both physically and emotionally. She is the very best!
CAROLINE K
I went to see Colette after having done something painful to my Achilles while running. I tried massage, stretching, working with my personal trainer for weeks to ease the pain but it was still bothering me. I worked with Colette for one session (where she put what I call a "magic needle" into the ball of my foot) and I'm not kidding, 85% of the pain was gone THAT night, and I was back to 100% a week or so later. I could barely believe it. She's also worked wonders on my tight traps and nagging shoulder pain I've had for years. I definitely was the type of person who went into acupuncture the first time like... needles are going to heal this? I doubt it! But I'm a huge believer now... and Colette is the best. I highly recommend her!
KATIE H
Colette brings love and light into her work as an acupuncturist. I was seeking support around infertility and she lovingly listened when I needed a shoulder to cry on and was my partner in crime when I needed a good laugh to get through the trauma of infertility. She is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge about many, many things and a well informed and intuitive practitioner. She will also find out from her trusted network of professionals whatever she happens not to know which empowered me to be open and to trust completely. Best of all, she loves her work with every fiber of her strong being. She will become the one person you count on for support without an ounce of worry because you just trust that she cares about you and knows exactly what to do to make you feel safe and secure as she helps you find healing. I really believe the treatments and support I received from Colette are the reason I am expecting a baby this June.
MINDY F
I’ve been a patient of Colette Sible’s for several years. I became acquainted with her as she obtained her degree in acupuncture. Our conversations led me to explore incorporating the practice into my self care routine. She is passionate and enjoys being an acupuncturist. And thus I was onboard. Colette has treated me for muscle tension, mild sports related stresses and holistically. I will continue to employ her services as I am confident in her knowledge and skill set. But most importantly her energy makes me feel comfortable. I always feel better mind, body & spirit after our sessions. Needless to say I recommend her wholeheartedly.
AYANA D
A friend of mine told me about the good work Colette has done for him in the past so I wanted to try it out for myself. I’ve been have knee pain and joint pain for over 6months. I even went to physical therapy but nothing seemed to work. After the first session I noticed that I felt looser and also slept better that night. After a few session in a matter of three months my knees stop making squeaky sounds. I mention to Colette that my husband and I were also trying to have another baby for the past two years. Colette introduces me to her fertility sessions. After two session I become pregnant. Beside the session Colette also introduced me to cleansing products that helped my body and mind.
NIRVA I
I went to see Colette because I had broken my leg in a skiing accident and it was extremely swollen several weeks after recovery. Her treatment helped the swelling decrease significantly and I began to regain some feeling where before I had only numbness. Within an hour the swelling had reduced and the effect was nearly immediate.
I had never had acupuncture before so it was a strange and a new sensation for me, at times it was scary but the results were well worth it. Acupuncture certainly aided in my recovery. I would definitely recommend Colette.
WEST H
I started going to Colette for treatment of chronic muscle pain and/or cramping in my calves, left inner hamstrings, sciatica, left lumbar flexor, and right neck, shoulder, and back pain. During and after my first treatment I felt immediate relief for the rest of the day, and after a good night’s sleep, the effect was even more obvious! There are very few noticeable “punctures” other than the most troubles spots, which is to be expected. The sensation is an indication that the troubled spot was targeted! Most of the time, I fall asleep during the treatment from the sense of relief and relaxation. Each successive treatment was more effective and lasting in the relief even if there was a longer gap in between treatments. I’ve had acupuncture in the past, but it wasn’t what I had hoped for. I’ve been going to Colette for a few years now and have been very pleased with the results.

I’ve been seeing Colette for my PTSD and stress relief. After trying so many methods to heal, acupuncture has been the best option. It has helped me heal quicker than ever before. After a few visits I’ve been much better and living my best life. The acupuncture was very relaxing, it helped release all the stress I had. I was always so tense but, after my visit I would walk out feeling much lighter and better. I would recommend Colette for acupuncture, she has been a big part of my life. She has helped me heal and better myself. She is a very caring person, always checks on me and how I’m feeling to track my progress. If it wasn’t for all her advice and treatments I would still be struggling.
MUNA N
I went to Colette initially for help with a very painful arthritic knee. I had several visits with Colette, the acupuncture was never painful and always left me feeling incredibly rested and peaceful. During a visit I mentioned having hot flashes, Colette said she could help with those. As she was inserting the needles she casually said "this one is for the hormones", I haven't experienced a hot flash since! My knee hasn't bothered me in months, I've made it through extremely cold days and the hot muggy summer with no aches and pain. I would absolutely recommend acupuncture with Colette, I look forward to working with her again!
AMY HB
I have been seeing Colette for over a year and my health and overall wellbeing has dramatically improved. I made my first appointment after a colleague recommended Colette for my chronic lung infections and I can't imagine what my health would look like without her. After each treatment, I was relaxed, reset, and ready for the week ahead. Along with my acupuncture treatments, Colette does not let you off the hook and will check in to make sure you are treating your body with the love and the nutrients you need to heal. I am a kinder person to my own body because of Colette, she has provided both relief and guidance to a mind and body recovery. I recommend everyone and their mothers go now!
CHAVA Q
I originally came to see Colette for my debilitating lower back pain, I could barely bend down or sit without it excruciating pain. Even after just the first session with Colette I could feel the difference, it was as if this massive weight from my lower back had been lifted. I would say after the third session and some stretching suggestions Colette made I was significantly better and felt like I had actually fully healed. This was my first experience ever doing acupuncture and Colette made me feel more than comfortable, she explains everything thoroughly during the process which I really appreciate. Colette is extremely gentle and precise when applying the acupuncture needles, you barely feel them there. Adding to that Colette also helps to facilitate meditation and mental relaxation which only added to my healing. Post treatment I come out feeling so relaxed, as if I slept a full 12 hours. I highly recommend Colette’s acupuncture practice, best decision I ever made for my back!!
ADRIANA B
I’ve known Colette both professionally and personally for close to twenty years. For the purposes of what I’m about to share, I confess that I am one of her older and old-fashioned friends. That is to say: acupuncture would never have quickly or automatically have occurred to ME unless I had tried and suffered through everything else “traditional” first and unsuccessfully.
I had a foot that just stopped working for me. This one particular Sunday, after fifty years of a completely active and fast-stepping life, I “did” or pulled or stressed something In my left foot. While I waited for my doctors and my ex-rays for come up with an explanation, movement became very limited and excruciating. It felt grip-like, muscular? Some-thing inside locked up. I couldn’t put weight on my left foot nor even move my foot from the ankle.
By Wednesday, I could only painfully move from one room to another, and only then using a cane. I wasn’t hearing back from any of the “traditional professionals” I’d notified, and so I telephoned Colette. She’d long suggested that I give acupuncture — her acupuncture — a try. I explained my situation, and asked for help. I was in SO much pain, I told her, that I wouldn’t even be able to get to her; she would have to travel to me. She arrived within ninety minutes, set the two of us up for a session, and...
It’s really a VERY short story. I couldn’t walk at all before my treatment, and by the time Colette left me, I could feel not only relief, but feel also that something had been reversed, relaxed. I could walk a bit. And then, with each subsequent day, I could walk a bit more still. Whatever had been locked, had become unlocked. No doubt Colette can supply you with the how and the why and the particulars of my treatment, but as “a civilian,” I can only report that it worked.
Again, I couldn’t walk.
And then, I could walk.
I must also mention Colette’s exquisite “manner” with me — me, her first-time, nervous-wreck, much-in-pain client. Colette kept me calm and got me cooperative. Her follow-up concern and calls to me, even after I had improved and returned to my “normal,” they were helpful, warm, and reassuring.
I don’t know how she did it, but she did it.
One last time: I couldn’t walk, and then, I could.
This endorsement rings!

Shortly after moving to New York City, I found Colette Sible. Very compassionate, authentic personality, and tenacious in her ongoing study of this ancient practice, she has been a perfect fit. Not once that I’ve gone to visit her has she not sent me away with solutions and suggestions to improve my health on a day-to-day basis. Some incredibly simple, others requiring more effort and planning, but all from a place of empathy and concern. Touching on not only issues like my sciatica and piriformis, with home exercises, but circulatory, digestive, sleep, sexual, emotional and spiritual issues, and solutions. I maintain a regular schedule of Acupuncture with Colette even to this day, bc I believe it helps to rid the body of toxins and negative energy and inflammation, keeping sickness and infections at bay. And while I have had sessions with other practioners here in New York, none match her professionalism and generosity of knowledge.
J SIMMONDS
I came to Colette to help my back pain. She is very intuitive and caring and will help any imbalances. My trust in her so benefited me in more than just simple back pain. Thank you Colette
MARIE S
I saw Colette after a recommendation from a friend, another of her patients. I had strained my back and was in pain for days and days. When my friend suggested acupuncture I’ll admit I was skeptical. I had never received acupuncture before and the idea of needles being stuck in my body was unsettling. But Colette quickly put me at ease. She provides a very calming, relaxing environment and with the great conversation as well, my mind was never on the needles but rather embracing the relief my body was feeling. It’s a pretty cool sensation to feel a muscle tighten up, spasm and then relax. The body is an amazing thing. Needless to say, I felt immensely better after just one session! And I’ve been back to see Colette multiple times since. With my stressful, NYC paced, workaholic lifestyle I can always find an excuse to book an appointment with Colette.
ALLISON R
Colette first treated me with Amma in 2014 for general stress. The easy massage-like treatment felt like it lifted me up physically and spiritually to a plane of super relaxation. She is a very gifted and knowledgeable healer and I am always looking forward to my next treatment.
MAY A
I came to Colette for hormonal issues surrounding peri-menopause. My symptoms included problematic night sweats, and trouble sleeping that was making me miserable. After one session with Colette I slept through the night for the first time in months. A weekly regimen with Colette got me back on track, creating a healthier, longer more consistent sleep and minimized my night sweats dramatically. I enthusiastically and thoroughly recommend Colette for acupuncture. She was a godsend.
CC
I am a chiropractor and have had many acupuncturists work on me. I have to say when Colette has worked on me it has been an exceptional experience. She has an innate sense of the body and what you need. I have always felt like a million bucks after a treatment with her. Her needling technique is not at all painful (I have experienced hard needling from other practitioners). I have spent time with her and love her philosophy on health and because she lives it, that is what makes her extraordinary in her field.
Chris Anderson, DC
A good friend recommended Colette's acupuncture services for my frozen shoulder. At the time I was suffering for a few months and I needed relief from the unbearable pain and pressure. Prior to my visit with Colette I had received two outpatient treatments for the shoulder but it didn't help relieve the pain. This would be my first time trying acupuncture. Upon arrival Colette took her time explaining the complexity of the treatment I so desperately needed. During my first session I immediately began to experience relief and less strain in my shoulder. I proceeded to book five more sessions. Colette explains the process thoroughly and communicates well while checking on my progress. She is very professional, knowledgeable, kind and caring with her patients. In the end it I would say it helped 85% in 5 treatments plus I was able to stop taking pain medication. I would definitely recommend acupuncture services with Colette to all my family and friends.

I first came for an acupuncture session with Colette when I was dealing with some allergies and digestive issues. Colette was detailed and thorough in her intake and assessment. She has a deep understanding of both the physical body and the energetic body. I felt markedly improved after the first treatment, and each successive treatment helped alleviate my symptoms and bring me back into balance. I find the sessions to be both relaxing and energizing. The physical symptoms and issues I was dealing with cleared up within a few treatments; I like going regularly to keep my system in a state of optimal alignment. I always leave feeling clearer, brighter and with a greater sense of connection to Self. Colette is a gifted Healer, and I highly recommend her as an acupuncturist.

She provides a very calming, relaxing environment and with the great conversation as well, my mind was never on the needles but rather embracing the relief my body was feeling. It’s a pretty cool sensation to feel a muscle tighten up, spasm and then relax. The body is an amazing thing. Needless to say, I felt immensely better after just one session! And I’ve been back to see Colette multiple times since. With my stressful, NYC paced, workaholic lifestyle I can always find an excuse to book an appointment with Colette.

Colette first treated me with Amma in 2014 for general stress. The easy massage-like treatment felt like it lifted me up physically and spiritually to a plane of super relaxation. She is a very gifted and knowledgeable healer and I am always looking forward to my next treatment.

I came to Colette for hormonal issues surrounding peri-menopause. My symptoms included problematic night sweats, and trouble sleeping that was making me miserable. After one session with Colette I slept through the night for the first time in months. A weekly regimen with Colette got me back on track, creating a healthier, longer more consistent sleep and minimized my night sweats dramatically. I enthusiastically and thoroughly recommend Colette for acupuncture. She was a godsend.

I am a chiropractor and have had many acupuncturists work on me. I have to say when Colette has worked on me it has been an exceptional experience. She has an innate sense of the body and what you need. I have always felt like a million bucks after a treatment with her. Her needling technique is not at all painful (I have experienced hard needling from other practitioners). I have spent time with her and love her philosophy on health and because she lives it, that is what makes her extraordinary in her field.

A good friend recommended Colette's acupuncture services for my frozen shoulder. At the time I was suffering for a few months and I needed relief from the unbearable pain and pressure. Prior to my visit with Colette I had received two outpatient treatments for the shoulder but it didn't help relieve the pain. This would be my first time trying acupuncture. Upon arrival Colette took her time explaining the complexity of the treatment I so desperately needed. During my first session I immediately began to experience relief and less strain in my shoulder. I proceeded to book five more sessions. Colette explains the process thoroughly and communicates well while checking on my progress. She is very professional, knowledgeable, kind and caring with her patients. In the end it I would say it helped 85% in 5 treatments plus I was able to stop taking pain medication. I would definitely recommend acupuncture services with Colette to all my family and friends.

WHAT MY PATIENTS ARE SAYING
The work I have done with Colette has been the best comprehensive body work I have ever done. Her total mind body approach has been invaluable to me and transformative. We addressed hormonal issues, digestive and physical ailments each to great success. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
COLLEEN C
Before I saw Colette I had a terrible pain in my Achilles whenever I wore high heels or went to my rowing practices. After just one session the pain in the area was alleviated and now I have full mobility in that area.
GABY B
Colette is amazing! She has treated me for my unbearable lower back pain and after the first acupuncture treatment it alleviated the pressure on my back, and I was able to walk up straight. I love acupuncture because Colette communicates and lets me know every single step and why each needle is placed in its specific spot. She is knowledgeable, kind, and really cares about her patients. Acupuncture is also helping me to relax and reduce other inflammations in my body. Acupuncture is an amazing old medicine and it actually works. Thank you Colette!
BASMA B
Colette has treated me for plantar fasciitis, and low back pain. I'm always amazed at how balanced I feel afterwards. Her knowledge of the body, her confidence with the needles, and her kind and loving nature, makes for an awesome, healing experience. And the pain was much less!
DAVID W
I wish I hadn't waited so long to book my first appointment with Colette! Admittedly 'needle phobic' I had apprehensions. I never felt a thing, except the absence of lower back/sciatic pain thanks to Colette's healing powers and gentle touch. I've only had one session and I can't believe how relaxed and pain free I feel. My advice: BOOK that appointment! Get your zen on!
TRACIE H
I suffer from chronic lower back pain as well as frequent neck discomfort. Often I'm pretty sore and my muscles become very tense as I work two jobs. For the last 2 years I've seen a Chiropractor usually 1-2 times per month. I was recommended to Colette by one of my co-workers that she treats for back pain. After the first session I felt like I had been at a spa for the day. Every muscle and nerve in my body was relaxed and at peace. And it really helped lessen the pain. A wonderful experience, very effective care, and a nice calm atmosphere. Absolutely will be returning.
JOSH I
I am grateful and incredibly thankful for Colette Sible. Acupuncture has alleviated many of my symptoms of chronic anxiety (GED) and the daily stress from being a New Yorker! Helloooo subways! Beyond that helped to maintain a healthy immune system (while others were coughing, sneezing from cold or flu) I was able to remain healthy. Colette makes her patients feel comfortable no matter what your concerns or ailments you suffer from. Her kind words and compassion as a person and practitioner do not go unnoticed. Colette changed my life and she is beyond gifted.

Amma helps me similarly to acupuncture by (how I imagine) moving things around, getting blood moving, getting cells moving- ends any stagnation that's amassed. The human touch of Amma, along with its unique execution, sets it apart from other types of massages.

I injured my ankle last fall and it seemed to be taking forever to heal. I saw Colette for a few treatments and after the first one I could feel the blood flowing again and the swelling subside. After the third one the aches and pains stopped and after a few more I could walk normally. Surround the Dragon! It works Excellent therapy!
MATT R
I was referred to Colette by a trusted family friend so my expectations were high and ultimately exceeded by far. I was looking for treatment of leg cramps that now came with increased frequency while I slept. What I ended up with was an eye opening understanding of just how much I don’t know about my body. As someone who lives a healthy life style, practices yoga regularly, and considered myself well informed I found this awareness inspiring and challenging. It is not unusual for us to barrel through things in our busy lives in this very busy world and often at the expense of balance. Be it Amma or the acupuncture treatment, it is time to tune in and focus on the frequency that helps me understand what my body is telling me. Thanks Colette
JOHN R.
Colette's healing hands and gentle touch create an amazing acupuncture experience. I walked away feeling an amazing change both physically and emotionally. She is the very best!
CAROLINE K
I first came for an acupuncture session with Colette when I was dealing with some allergies and digestive issues. Colette was detailed and thorough in her intake and assessment. She has a deep understanding of both the physical body and the energetic body. I felt markedly improved after the first treatment, and each successive treatment helped alleviate my symptoms and bring me back into balance. I find the sessions to be both relaxing and energizing. The physical symptoms and issues I was dealing with cleared up within a few treatments; I like going regularly to keep my system in a state of optimal alignment. I always leave feeling clearer, brighter and with a greater sense of connection to Self. Colette is a gifted Healer, and I highly recommend her as an acupuncturist.

I’ve been a patient of Colette Sible’s for several years. I became acquainted with her as she obtained her degree in acupuncture. Our conversations led me to explore incorporating the practice into my self care routine. She is passionate and enjoys being an acupuncturist. And thus I was onboard. Colette has treated me for muscle tension, mild sports related stresses and holistically. I will continue to employ her services as I am confident in her knowledge and skill set. But most importantly her energy makes me feel comfortable. I always feel better mind, body & spirit after our sessions. Needless to say I recommend her wholeheartedly.
AYANA D
A friend of mine told me about the good work Colette has done for him in the past so I wanted to try it out for myself. I’ve been have knee pain and joint pain for over 6months. I even went to physical therapy but nothing seemed to work. After the first session I noticed that I felt looser and also slept better that night. After a few session in a matter of three months my knees stop making squeaky sounds. I mention to Colette that my husband and I were also trying to have another baby for the past two years. Colette introduces me to her fertility sessions. After two session I become pregnant. Beside the session Colette also introduced me to cleansing products that helped my body and mind.

I went to see Colette because I had broken my leg in a skiing accident and it was extremely swollen several weeks after recovery. Her treatment helped the swelling decrease significantly and I began to regain some feeling where before I had only numbness. Within an hour the swelling had reduced and the effect was nearly immediate.
I had never had acupuncture before so it was a strange and a new sensation for me, at times it was scary but the results were well worth it. Acupuncture certainly aided in my recovery. I would definitely recommend Colette.

I’ve been seeing Colette for my PTSD and stress relief. After trying so many methods to heal, acupuncture has been the best option. It has helped me heal quicker than ever before. After a few visits I’ve been much better and living my best life. The acupuncture was very relaxing, it helped release all the stress I had. I was always so tense but, after my visit I would walk out feeling much lighter and better. I would recommend Colette for acupuncture, she has been a big part of my life. She has helped me heal and better myself. She is a very caring person, always checks on me and how I’m feeling to track my progress. If it wasn’t for all her advice and treatments I would still be struggling.
MUNA N
I went to Colette initially for help with a very painful arthritic knee. I had several visits with Colette, the acupuncture was never painful and always left me feeling incredibly rested and peaceful. During a visit I mentioned having hot flashes, Colette said she could help with those. As she was inserting the needles she casually said "this one is for the hormones", I haven't experienced a hot flash since! My knee hasn't bothered me in months, I've made it through extremely cold days and the hot muggy summer with no aches and pain. I would absolutely recommend acupuncture with Colette, I look forward to working with her again!
AMY HB
I’ve known Colette both professionally and personally for close to twenty years. For the purposes of what I’m about to share, I confess that I am one of her older and old-fashioned friends. That is to say: acupuncture would never have quickly or automatically have occurred to ME unless I had tried and suffered through everything else “traditional” first and unsuccessfully.
I had a foot that just stopped working for me. This one particular Sunday, after fifty years of a completely active and fast-stepping life, I “did” or pulled or stressed something In my left foot. While I waited for my doctors and my ex-rays for come up with an explanation, movement became very limited and excruciating. It felt grip-like, muscular? Some-thing inside locked up. I couldn’t put weight on my left foot nor even move my foot from the ankle.
By Wednesday, I could only painfully move from one room to another, and only then using a cane. I wasn’t hearing back from any of the “traditional professionals” I’d notified, and so I telephoned Colette. She’d long suggested that I give acupuncture — her acupuncture — a try. I explained my situation, and asked for help. I was in SO much pain, I told her, that I wouldn’t even be able to get to her; she would have to travel to me. She arrived within ninety minutes, set the two of us up for a session, and...
It’s really a VERY short story. I couldn’t walk at all before my treatment, and by the time Colette left me, I could feel not only relief, but feel also that something had been reversed, relaxed. I could walk a bit. And then, with each subsequent day, I could walk a bit more still. Whatever had been locked, had become unlocked. No doubt Colette can supply you with the how and the why and the particulars of my treatment, but as “a civilian,” I can only report that it worked.
Again, I couldn’t walk.
And then, I could walk.
I must also mention Colette’s exquisite “manner” with me — me, her first-time, nervous-wreck, much-in-pain client. Colette kept me calm and got me cooperative. Her follow-up concern and calls to me, even after I had improved and returned to my “normal,” they were helpful, warm, and reassuring.
I don’t know how she did it, but she did it.
One last time: I couldn’t walk, and then, I could.
This endorsement rings!

I went to see Colette after having done something painful to my Achilles while running. I tried massage, stretching, working with my personal trainer for weeks to ease the pain but it was still bothering me. I worked with Colette for one session (where she put what I call a "magic needle" into the ball of my foot) and I'm not kidding, 85% of the pain was gone THAT night, and I was back to 100% a week or so later. I could barely believe it. She's also worked wonders on my tight traps and nagging shoulder pain I've had for years. I definitely was the type of person who went into acupuncture the first time like... needles are going to heal this? I doubt it! But I'm a huge believer now... and Colette is the best. I highly recommend her!
KATIE H
Colette brings love and light into her work as an acupuncturist. I was seeking support around infertility and she lovingly listened when I needed a shoulder to cry on and was my partner in crime when I needed a good laugh to get through the trauma of infertility. She is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge about many, many things and a well informed and intuitive practitioner. She will also find out from her trusted network of professionals whatever she happens not to know which empowered me to be open and to trust completely. Best of all, she loves her work with every fiber of her strong being. She will become the one person you count on for support without an ounce of worry because you just trust that she cares about you and knows exactly what to do to make you feel safe and secure as she helps you find healing. I really believe the treatments and support I received from Colette are the reason I am expecting a baby this June.

I started going to Colette for treatment of chronic muscle pain and/or cramping in my calves, left inner hamstrings, sciatica, left lumbar flexor, and right neck, shoulder, and back pain. During and after my first treatment I felt immediate relief for the rest of the day, and after a good night’s sleep, the effect was even more obvious! There are very few noticeable “punctures” other than the most troubles spots, which is to be expected. The sensation is an indication that the troubled spot was targeted! Most of the time, I fall asleep during the treatment from the sense of relief and relaxation. Each successive treatment was more effective and lasting in the relief even if there was a longer gap in between treatments. I’ve had acupuncture in the past, but it wasn’t what I had hoped for. I’ve been going to Colette for a few years now and have been very pleased with the results.

I have been seeing Colette for over a year and my health and overall wellbeing has dramatically improved. I made my first appointment after a colleague recommended Colette for my chronic lung infections and I can't imagine what my health would look like without her. After each treatment, I was relaxed, reset, and ready for the week ahead. Along with my acupuncture treatments, Colette does not let you off the hook and will check in to make sure you are treating your body with the love and the nutrients you need to heal. I am a kinder person to my own body because of Colette, she has provided both relief and guidance to a mind and body recovery. I recommend everyone and their mothers go now!
CHAVA Q
I originally came to see Colette for my debilitating lower back pain, I could barely bend down or sit without it excruciating pain. Even after just the first session with Colette I could feel the difference, it was as if this massive weight from my lower back had been lifted. I would say after the third session and some stretching suggestions Colette made I was significantly better and felt like I had actually fully healed. This was my first experience ever doing acupuncture and Colette made me feel more than comfortable, she explains everything thoroughly during the process which I really appreciate. Colette is extremely gentle and precise when applying the acupuncture needles, you barely feel them there. Adding to that Colette also helps to facilitate meditation and mental relaxation which only added to my healing. Post treatment I come out feeling so relaxed, as if I slept a full 12 hours. I highly recommend Colette’s acupuncture practice, best decision I ever made for my back!!

Shortly after moving to New York City, I found Colette Sible. Very compassionate, authentic personality, and tenacious in her ongoing study of this ancient practice, she has been a perfect fit. Not once that I’ve gone to visit her has she not sent me away with solutions and suggestions to improve my health on a day-to-day basis. Some incredibly simple, others requiring more effort and planning, but all from a place of empathy and concern. Touching on not only issues like my sciatica and piriformis, with home exercises, but circulatory, digestive, sleep, sexual, emotional and spiritual issues, and solutions. I maintain a regular schedule of Acupuncture with Colette even to this day, bc I believe it helps to rid the body of toxins and negative energy and inflammation, keeping sickness and infections at bay. And while I have had sessions with other practioners here in New York, none match her professionalism and generosity of knowledge.

A good friend recommended Colette's acupuncture services for my frozen shoulder. At the time I was suffering for a few months and I needed relief from the unbearable pain and pressure. Prior to my visit with Colette I had received two outpatient treatments for the shoulder but it didn't help relieve the pain. This would be my first time trying acupuncture. Upon arrival Colette took her time explaining the complexity of the treatment I so desperately needed. During my first session I immediately began to experience relief and less strain in my shoulder. I proceeded to book five more sessions. Colette explains the process thoroughly and communicates well while checking on my progress. She is very professional, knowledgeable, kind and caring with her patients. In the end it I would say it helped 85% in 5 treatments plus I was able to stop taking pain medication. I would definitely recommend acupuncture services with Colette to all my family and friends.

Acupuncture rocks!!! I started going to Colette 5 years ago when I had the worst tennis elbow. I had developed it after my carpal tunnel surgery. I tried everything – physical therapy, massages, exercises, and nothing worked. I was in so much pain. I had known Colette personally and she suggested I try acupuncture. I was desperate so I did – BEST THING EVER!!! I was better after 3 sessions. She manipulates the needles in such a way that it releases all the tension that’s causing the pain. Recently I was experiencing hot flashes. I was getting them all day and night. I was exhausted because the hot flashes were interrupting my sleep. After 5 sessions Colette got them down to ZERO. She takes the time to explain everything to you. She gives you lots of helpful suggestions. Besides helping me with the hot flashes she suggested some other things for inflammation and bloating. I feel great. I have recommended several friends and they are very happy with the results. If you want to feel good, she’s worth your time and every penny. Go see Colette, you won’t regret it!!!
