Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting fine needles at specific points to stimulate the body's self-healing mechanisms. This service addresses chronic pain, stress, fertility issues, and emotional imbalances through personalized treatment plans. Patients experience improved energy flow and symptom relief while receiving compassionate, individualized care in a relaxing environment.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping uses controlled suction to release muscle tension and improve circulation. Ideal for chronic pain, inflammation, and stress relief, this therapy enhances recovery by promoting blood flow and reducing physical discomfort. Practitioners tailor session intensity to each patient's needs for optimal therapeutic results.

Guasha involves gentle skin scraping to alleviate muscle stiffness and detoxify tissues. This technique targets pain points and improves lymphatic drainage, offering relief from chronic aches and promoting overall wellness through non-invasive, targeted treatment.

I have been seeing Susanna on and off since 2020, first through South Philly Community Acupuncture and for the past year or so at her private practice. Susannas care has helped me manage a number of painful conditions all over my body. She has a real gift of touch and I have never felt more listened to and understood when visiting a healthcare provider. She has such a wealth of knowledge - not just in eastern medicine practices - but in healthcare generally, and I have been so grateful for her treatments and support. I always leave my treatments with her feeling reset, happy, and most importantly

I went to Susanna for sinus issues and achy hands, and both issues improved after only one visit. I appreciate her taking the time to review my medical history and explain how many different factors can contribute to an overall picture of health. All the stars.

My first appointment with Susanna was fantastic! Ive seen a lot of acupuncturists over the years and shes the best! Very knowledgeable, thorough, and clear communication. Her office was very clean and comfortable, her demeanor very calming and grounded. I was dealing with some chronic fatigue and skin problems and after one session i felt a lot of things shifted and improved. I was incredibly relaxed and centered after my treatment. I highly recommend working with her!

Dr. Satten serves as an extremely effective and qualified acupuncturist, as well as a bonus therapist thanks to her highly-attuned listening skills. She is very calm, welcoming and supportive, and is able to transform my bucket of feelings and jumble of experiences into a magical plan of action using the tools of East Asian Medicine. I am always amazed and delighted by how confidently she applies her practice, knowledge and engagement to make me feel so much better. As someone who is very afraid of needles, I am happy to report that Dr. Satten has made me feel safe in her care. She lets me know
