The YinOva Center New York

Take your pins and needles from acupuncturist Jill Blakeway, the genial Brit, Chinese herbalist, and wellness expert behind homey YinOva Center for alternative health care. Fertility is her specialty (go make some babies!), but she’ll also treat what ails you (migraines, menstrual cramps, menopause) or give you a perfectly mellow tune-up.

Aura Wellness Spa New York

Juvenex New York

Twenty-four-hour party people are welcome at the Korea Town spa that never closes. Last night’s bender is pummeled into the past, then frozen in the jade igloo sauna. If you end up getting the gyno spa cure (check the menu), do report back.
