About

ORA Method is a wellness business with two New York City locations, one in NoHo and one on the Upper East Side. The business describes itself as a holistic healing destination and a luxury acupuncture spa. Memberships offer perks and savings on other services, and gift cards are available.

The business calls its method proprietary and says it blends acupuncture, red light therapy and meditation to support a parasympathetic state and a regulated nervous system. A first visit is an Introductory ORA Method Acupuncture session of about 65 minutes that opens with a review of medical history and wellness goals. The Essential session is a customized 50-minute visit for guests who have completed the introduction, and the Extended session runs 90 minutes and includes one add-on.

The facial menu takes two directions. The needle-free facials use microcurrent, LED light, gua sha and lymphatic drainage massage. Every facial starts with a review of medical background and the symptoms or skin conditions the client wants to address.

Massage is performed by New York State licensed massage therapists and opens with a consultation about areas of focus, tension and preferred pressure. The ORA massage combines breath with manual bodywork and emphasizes acupressure points. Restorative massage blends Swedish techniques with acupressure, with pressure and pace adjusted during the session. Lymphatic drainage uses rhythmic, gentle strokes, and prenatal and integrative therapeutic massage are also offered, the latter for chronic pain, restricted mobility and persistent tension.

A visit begins with a welcome from the concierge team, and guests can have water or an ORA tea in the lounge before their session. Treatment rooms have heated beds and luxury linens. Retail includes ORA Method LED Gua Sha tools, skincare from ORA, OMAD, Yina and LINNÉ, supplements, functional herbs, and teas and tonics.

Combines acupuncture, red light therapy and meditation in a proprietary method that the business says aims to support a parasympathetic state and a regulated nervous system. Each visit begins with a conversation between the client and practitioner before treatment.

Private treatment rooms with heated beds and luxury linens, plus a lounge where guests can have tea before a session.
