Carly Lepore

L.Ac. MSTOM, Licensed Acupuncturist, Traditional Chinese Herbalist

Hi, I’m Carly. I’m passionate about Chinese Medicine and all that it can do to help people. The body knows what it needs to do, it just needs Chinese Medicine to remind it, and that’s where I come in.

I have a Master of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine from Pacific College of Health and Science. I’m also a yoga instructor with my 200-hr RYT and have a B.F.A. in dance from NYU. My whole life has been dedicated to the body and the subtle energies that make us who we are. I love integrating all my trainings to provide each person with an individualized treatment experience. Whether you’re looking for a more straightforward treatment of pain or an energy healing adventure, I’m here for you. Practicing acupuncture gives me the opportunity to help others bring their bodies, minds, and energies back into harmony, and I love this work.

I enjoy treating people for all sorts of ailments and complaints, including, but not limited to all types of pain, anxiety, depression, fertility, menstrual issues, and digestive issues. Acupuncture treatments with me may involve several modalities, such as cupping, gua sha, and/or herbal consultations.

In my free time, I enjoy practicing yoga, reading, and spending time outside. You can often find me on a group call with my family from Massachusetts or hanging out with my cat.

Edward Gousse

I am Edward P. Gousse, a highly experienced Licensed Acupuncturist with over 13 years of professional practice. My education was completed at the prestigious Tri-State College of Acupuncture, where I specialized in three styles of Acupuncture and two essential forms of herbal strategy and formulation.  

Throughout my career, I have successfully treated a wide range of patients dealing with chronic pain and long-standing illnesses. My expertise in Acupuncture has enabled me to effectively alleviate pain and discomfort for many individuals, ultimately enhancing their overall quality of life. One of the key elements that set me apart is my exceptional customer service. I take pride in offering a high level of care and attention to each of my clients. I understand the significance of open communication, especially when working with sensitive clients. 

I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment, ensuring that my patients feel comfortable sharing their concerns and goals. My dedication to my profession and my commitment to providing the best possible care make me an invaluable resource in the field of Acupuncture. With my skills, knowledge, and compassionate approach, I continually work to make a positive impact on the lives of my patients.

I specialize in treating debilitating and long standing pain in children and adults. I also love working with patients suffering from major depression and anxiety, scoliosis, asthma, and other chronic respiratory illnesses. Many times Scalp Acupuncture, Auricular, and Electro-Acupuncture come into play to serve the most extreme cases. All of these techniques are bespoke to the individual presentation and not standard to all presentations.

Jessica Sowards

L.Ac., MSTOM, Licensed Acupuncturist, Traditional Chinese Herbalist, Women’s Health and Fertility Specialist

My name is Jessica Sowards and I have been practicing Acupuncture and Eastern Medicine in New York City for over fourteen years. I am a dedicated, sensitive, and highly trained Practitioner providing my patients with a deeply grounded and informed foundation from which to transform their health and enrich their lives. As an Acupuncturist, herbalist, functional medicine health coach, birth doula, breathwork facilitator, systems thinker and teacher I have many tools to assist you in your healing journey. Let’s work together!

I received my education at The New York College of Traditional Chinese Medicine (NYCTCM) where I completed a dual-Masters Program in Acupuncture, Chinese Medicine and Health Science. I then completed post graduate training in Advanced Classical Acupuncture techniques with Dr. Jeffrey Yuen at the Daoist Tradition College of Medical Arts. Additional studies include education through the American Board of Reproductive Medicine (ABORM) focusing on Women’s health. 

I provide holistic natural health solutions for people of all ages, successfully treating digestive disorders, fertility issues, prenatal and postpartum health, chronic pain and inflammatory conditions.

My childhood was spent in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in  Northern California where I was raised surrounded by towering evergreen trees, rushing whitewater rivers and endless forest trails. These formative years created a strong respect and curiosity for the natural world channeling my focus toward the systemic and pervasive healing potential of herbs, plants, food, energy work and more. I am incredibly grateful for my teachers and mentors and the elegant and powerful system that is Chinese Medicine. May we all nourish, align and thrive together!

不通這痛,痛則不通

“If there is free flow, there is no pain; if there is pain, there is lack of free flow.”

My name is Eyal, and I’m a Chinese Medicine practitioner with over a decade of experience in pain and stress management, somatic trauma recovery, and Chi Gong.

Originally from Israel, I’m deeply inspired and continuously curious about the way our bodies work, and the effects of our habitual routines on our emotional and mental well-being.

When working with clients, I try to open paths to healing as well as reconnecting with our own somatic experiences. In my studies, I have learned numerous techniques to help reconnect, including mindfulness meditation, and sensory awareness; Acupuncture by itself gives us a precious opportunity to pause, rest and listen deeply to what is needed in order to heal. It is through these kinds of non-effort modalities that we can sink deeper into our own being and discover the inherent wisdom within our bodies, mind and well-being.

Though my fundamental training is in Ancient Chinese Medicine, after completing my acupuncture studies 12 years ago, I began to draw deep inspiration from learning additional modalities of healing, including Tai Chi Chuan, Yoga Breathing (Pranayama), Nervous System Co-Regulation, Unified Mindfulness by Shinzen Young, Somatic Experiencing™, and most recently – Sensory Awareness by Charlotte Selver.

I love helping people in a range of body-mind challenges, but not only; digestive problems, breathing difficulties, anxieties, sleep disorders and any other pain and health concerns. I also specialize in pediatrics and I love working with kids.

In addition to the classical acupuncture needling technique, I offer Chinese Herbs consultations, diet recommendations, and somatic work – self regulation and self inquiry.

In my free time I like to hike with the family, practice mindfulness, draw and paint, do improv comedy and move in as many ways as possible. I am excited to be part of Williamsburg Acupuncture and serve the community with the healing modalities of Chinese Medicine.

Yours,
Eyal Yona Yamin

Bart Beckermann

L.Ac., M.Ac., Licensed Acupuncturist, Traditional Chinese Herbalist, Energy Healer, Intuitive Bodyworker

I love helping people and I’m really good at it. I have been practicing acupuncture for over 10 years and have been a healer for longer than that. I have a master’s degree in acupuncture from the Academy for Five Element Acupuncture, have studied Classical Acupuncture through the lineage of Dr. Jeffrey C. Yuen with Ann Cecil-Sterman and Evan Rabinowitz, and Chinese herbalism with Evan Rabinowitz and Andrew Ellis (whom I continue to study with in an ongoing basis). I enjoy helping my patients through whatever illness, disharmony or ailment brings them through my door, and love witnessing their incredible capacity for transformation throughout the process.

I am skilled at treating pain of all sorts, whether acute or chronic, anxiety, depression, digestive issues, endometriosis, infertility, GYN issues, autoimmune disorders, and other complex chronic conditions. I also really like supporting pregnant patients through the pregnancy and postpartum.

I’m passionate about the magic that happens in the treatment room. No treatment is exactly the same, even if I am doing a treatment using the same points as another treatment that we have done in the past. This happens by being present as to the energy moving in the room and within my patients. The general feedback I’ve gotten from patients is essentially, “I have had acupuncture before, but it has never been like this.” People feel the energy move, have the experience of healing as unique as the person themselves, and through this process, patients play an active role in their healing. I have the pleasure of actively witnessing and facilitating a healing energetic field, it’s quantum physics in action.  The cool part is, it is not just theoretical; it is in the body. I know the channels and the points like the back of my hand, but I am always amazed when I insert an acupuncture needle in a point. Stuff moves, energy moves, experiences, past traumas, stuck patterns resolve. It’s powerful, fun, and humbling to play a part in that.

I practice several modalities but they all sort of blend together in my treatments based on what the patient needs from a diagnostic perspective and what the patient wants to get out of a session. I practice acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, medical Qigong, spiritual healing, gua sha, cupping, and my own style of intuitive energetic manual release. My treatments are equally as physical as they are energetic or spiritual. It’s also worth mentioning that if you have no desire for any of the woo woo energy, spiritual stuff, that’s totally cool and I can still help you with your back pain or jaw pain, or whatever you are coming in for. I do it all the time!

When I’m not working, I love spending time with my wife and two lively children, hanging out in nature, camping, hiking, or swimming. I love listening to and seeing live music. I play the guitar and sing (though not as much as I used to). Riding motorcycles brings me joy, and I’ve recently gotten into plants. I’m in to living a life of joy and service.
