The Practitioner Behind the Practice

Dr. Aliya Stimpson, DAc, LAc Founder · Black Lotus Acupuncture™ · Williamsburg, Brooklyn

I became an acupuncturist because I believe the body already knows how to heal, it just sometimes needs help finding its way back.

I hold a Doctorate in Acupuncture from Pacific College of Health and Sciences, one of the most respected programs in the country, and I am a New York State Board Certified Acupuncturist. My training is grounded in classical Five Element theory, which understands each person as a whole being. Treating them on the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of the body.

Over the years I have worked with patients navigating chronic pain, anxiety, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune conditions, digestive disorders, fertility challenges, and the kind of deep, unnamed exhaustion that comes from living a full life without enough support. I take particular care with patients who are nervous about needles, new to Chinese medicine, or who have felt dismissed or unseen in medical settings before. You will not feel that way here.

What makes my practice different? I use both TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine and Five Elements theory as Diagnostics when treating you but there is also an integration of Sound Therapy using Tuning Forks into acupuncture sessions. This is unique to my practice, I haven’t seen many practitioners use this method of treatment. I developed this approach over years of practice and study, and the results continue to move me. The combination creates something I haven't seen replicated anywhere else in Brooklyn.

Black Lotus Acupuncture is a Black-owned, Women-led practice. I built it to be a space where everyone (regardless of background, body, or what they've been through) feels genuinely welcome. Inclusivity here is not a tagline. I want everyone to feel like they can come into my office and take up space. That is where the true healing begins.

I am currently accepting new patients on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and I offer select in-home visits throughout NYC.

If you have questions before booking, please reach out. I am happy to talk.
