Conditions Treated at The Shaman NYC – Stress Relief, Longevity, Preventative Healing & Spiritual Awakening in Manhattan
At The Shaman NYC, we don’t just treat symptoms—we work with the whole being. Our approach to healing is rooted in sacred medicine, energy alignment, preventative care, and spiritual transformation. Whether you're experiencing chronic stress, emotional overload, fatigue, or a desire for deeper spiritual connection, we’re here to support your journey with intuitive, multidimensional care.
Led by world-renowned healer Niko Karelas, our sacred wellness studio—centrally located near SoHo, Tribeca, Midtown, Bryant Park, and the Upper East Side—offers a curated blend of healing modalities designed to treat conditions at their energetic, emotional, and physical roots.
Conditions We Specialize In
1. Stress, Burnout & Nervous System Overload
In a city like New York, stress is often normalized—but chronic stress leads to inflammation, fatigue, anxiety, poor sleep, and eventual breakdown. At The Shaman NYC, we specialize in regulating the nervous system, resetting your stress patterns, and helping your body access deep relaxation.
Our stress relief treatments may include:
Acupuncture for calming the mind and balancing the body
Craniosacral therapy to regulate the parasympathetic system
Reiki to clear emotional and energetic overwhelm
Breathwork and meditation to anchor presence
Sound therapy to reset brainwaves into theta and delta states
Signs you may benefit:
Anxiety, overwhelm, panic attacks
Sleep issues and insomnia
Feeling wired but exhausted
Tight chest, shallow breathing, muscle tension
Overactive mind or emotional dysregulation
2. Profound Relaxation & Nervous System Healing
Beyond simply relaxing the body, we offer soul-level rest—a deep exhale for your entire being. When your nervous system enters true relaxation, the body regenerates, the heart softens, and your spirit opens to healing.
Our sessions are designed to guide you into this sacred stillness through:
Craniosacral therapy
Guided energy work
Somatic bodywork
Sacred aromatherapy and sound bathing
Energetic clearing rituals
This isn’t surface-level calm—it’s a full reset of your body’s rhythm, leading to clarity, ease, and groundedness.
3. Longevity & Preventative Medicine
Longevity isn’t about adding years—it’s about increasing the quality of your years. Our holistic longevity protocols address cellular health, immune support, hormonal balance, emotional resilience, and spiritual alignment.
Using a fusion of ancient medicine and energy work, we help clients:
Reduce inflammation and support detox pathways
Balance hormones and slow aging processes
Boost vitality, clarity, and energy levels
Prevent disease by treating root causes
Align body, mind, and soul for whole-life wellness
Ideal for professionals, creatives, healers, and anyone invested in preventative care and long-term vitality.
4. Emotional Healing & Energetic Release
Many physical and mental symptoms are rooted in unprocessed emotion and energetic stagnation. At The Shaman NYC, we help you release stored emotional trauma, grief, heartbreak, fear, and suppression from the body and energy field.
Common signs of stuck emotional energy include:
Fatigue that doesn’t respond to rest
Brain fog or feeling disconnected
Mood swings, irritability, or numbness
Chronic pain without a clear cause
Shallow breathing or tightness in chest/throat
Our approach includes:
Energy healing (Reiki, chakra clearing)
Somatic bodywork and craniosacral holds
Breathwork, sound, and spiritual counseling
Crystals, oils, and sacred ritual
Each session creates space for release, renewal, and emotional clarity.
5. Spiritual Awakening & Soul Alignment
Are you moving through a period of awakening? Feeling called to something greater but unsure where to go next? Experiencing emotional intensity, disorientation, or energetic sensitivity? These are signs of spiritual emergence, and we are here to guide and support this powerful transformation.
Our sessions can help you:
Ground and integrate spiritual downloads
Clear energetic blocks holding you back
Receive intuitive guidance and clarity
Activate your gifts and higher path
Heal identity-level wounds from past lifetimes or ancestral lines
Spiritual awakening is beautiful—but intense. With the right support, it becomes a path of empowerment, freedom, and grace.
6. Deep Personal Transformation
Our work is for those seeking true change—not just relief, but recalibration.
Whether you're going through a life transition, an identity shift, a rebirth, or an emotional unraveling, we hold space for your full transformation. Here, healing is sacred. Change is honored. And you are met exactly where you are.

NY Stress | Anxiety
New Yorker’s experience intense stress. Eastern Medicine shows stress as the primary cause of all “dis-ease”. Stress leaves our body weak & vulnerable at the core, reducing our immunity and increasing sickness . Acupuncture re-aligns the energy of our body empowering us to feel stronger, more balanced and more centered. Homeostasis is our natural state of being , from this place all healing and well being arises naturally.
Digestion

Pain
Pain arises out of a collection of imbalances in the body and mind . Whether it’s from sitting and working at a desk all day long or pain from an injury. Acupuncture can help by improving blood flow and circulation, reducing inflammation and inhibiting pain receptors in the brain.
