Healthee Care, New York NY

The proof is in the name - "healthy" and "health for thee. " Merlin is an extraordinary practitioner, not only of acupuncture but of decency, empathy, kindness and listening. He is genuinely one of those healers who knows the beginning and the end. I have had my entrenched doubts about traditional Chinese medicine well and truly quashed. Merlin has helped me heal (back problems, knee problems, other minor issues). He gives safe, smart advice and he always follows up with his patients. I cannot recommend him any more highly. He is an ambassador for the art of healing.

I became an acupuncture believer when I moved to Hong Kong in the late 90's. I was so fortunate to experience/work with a variety of techniques/practitioners in several Asian countries. When I returned to the US, I continued to work with acupuncturists, reflexologists and other healing practitioners, but never landed on an office or person who made me feel quite like I did when I lived in Asia. I've paid good money at places that were "fine, " always looking for THAT place. And I finally found it. My first visit with Merlin Williams was a few weeks ago (April of 2022), and it was truly transformative. I was having severe pain in my lower back/neck and was heading to South Africa for two weeks (with a series of flights, 24 hours in total, facing me). Merlin said he would send me off in grand style, and I remember thinking, "Yeah right. " But he did just that. I left feeling better than I have in years: and remained so throughout my travels.
After one treatment. Merlin doesn't just "SEE" you, he intuits you. He pays attention to who you are, how you're progressing and what kind of data/results he can work into the evolution of your journey. He is kind, warm, funny, caring and unique. This isn't a "one-stop-shop" - it's a transformation. If you're looking for help, relief, guidance, and everything in between, this is for you. I have tried dozens of places in NYC and nothing compares. Do yourself a favor and try "The Works". Game changing.

As a healer myself, I am constantly seeking ways to release and cleanse from stress, vicarious trauma, and tension. I feel extremely happy to have found in Healthee Care a provider that conveys expertise, love, and creativity. I will definitely become a permanent customer!

Merlin at Healtheecare has my highest recommendation, a 5 star plus from the beginning and throughout the process of his expertise, competence and, professional treatment. Excellent results with each visit!

My experience with MERLINNNN's magic fingers has been amazing. Acupuncture sessions to his unique technique with cupping. The cupping massage is my favorite. I highly recommend, it's an experience.

Highly recommend! I saw Merlin once a week for about 3 months and noticed results as early as the 2nd visit. Seeing him weekly for The Works treatment really helped improve my issues. Merlin is not only really good at what he does but is also a good listener, caring, has a sense of humor and is fun to talk to. He customizes the treatment for your needs and will even change the music to your liking. Although my issue is resolved I look forward to seeing him for as-needed touch up visits.

The way he approached my problems, his explanation why he’s doing what he is doing, everything made me feel welcome and in the right hands! He combined acupuncture and fire cupping - during the session I felt a sensation of increased circulation in certain areas and absolute relaxation. Highly recommended!

Amazing experience!
Me and my girlfriend went in for treatment and were very impressed with the results. The process was something totally new for me and to feel my body responding to it was even more impressive. Next morning was like a New Year, from 40 to 100% with one treatment, can’t wait to go back and learn more about how good I can feel taking care of my body and mind!

Thank you again, I definitely recommend!

Absolutely speechless! My boyfriend and I had our first session few days ago, and I have to say what an amazing experience! Merlin, our acupuncturist explained a lot before the session, and meanwhile he was applying acupuncture methods. My boyfriend tried it first, and so I had the chance to see how everything evolves. I wanted and needed to alleviate tension in my shoulders and lower back.

We both tried the cup technique together with regular acupuncture needles. The sensation was amazing, I felt my muscles getting lighter and lighter, all the tension was sucked away and when my session ended I could not feel my shoulders almost. The next day I went to work and seemed like I was flying instead of running around a restaurant.

I find fascinating the fact that I can curate my pain without having to take any pill. I don’t really like taking medication, I only do so when I can’t bear the pain anymore. I have to admit, at the beginning, when the term alternative medicine started to spread I would ask myself “can natural healing be really possible and efficient? ” and thanks to this experience with Healthee Care I can answer that question myself! Yes, natural healing works!

You can use a part of your body to cure another one. It’s all within our own bodies that this works. I am sure if you have any question Merlin will be happy to explain the process of how everything happens, this is one of the things I appreciate the most as well: he was amazing on the session and available to answer any of my questions, which made me really see how much he loves what he does, and believe me there is nothing better than having a passionate professional help you through.

Merlin, as his name might imply, is truly a magician. He made my pain disappear with his magic needles. Merlin's knowledge, skill, and intuition are a winning combination. Call him with confidence and know that he will help with what ails you.
