About
-
I’m Hannah Rosenstein, M.Ac., L.Ac., the solo practitioner behind this small practice in Dupont Circle. I am a DC licensed acupuncturist and board certified by the NCCAOM.
As a DC native, I’m proud to serve this community! Before becoming an acupuncturist, I spent a decade as a massage therapist specializing in prenatal care, deep tissue, and myofascial work, Core Synchronism, and Reiki.
My own experiences navigating health challenges as a young adult led me to a passionate pursuit of answers. Along the way, I fell in love with acupuncture and bodywork and knew I had found my calling.
I completed training as a Natural Therapeutic Specialist at the New Mexico School of Natural Therapeutics. I began my study of acupuncture at the Jung Tao School of Classical Chinese Medicine and earned my Master of Acupuncture from Virginia University of Integrative Medicine. I continue to deepen my studies through the Tan Balance Academy, and the Integral Nutrition Institute.

My treatments are designed to support the nervous system, improve circulation, reduce pain, and help the body move toward balance and regulation over time.
Each of our session begin with a check-in and a treatment selected based on what your body is presenting that day.
I also frequently make diet, lifestyle, movement, or self-care recommendations to support your progress.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient art and science that involves the insertion of very thin needles at strategic points on your body to trigger a healing response. Patients seek acupuncture when looking for direct support for acute and chronic pain, stress-related conditions, hormonal balance, digestion, sleep, and nervous system regulation.
Restorative Sessions
Restorative sessions area very unique offering, developed over the course of my bodywork career. Here, I blend massage, core/cranio-sacral, reiki, and acupuncture to give you a deeply restorative and often cathartic bodywork experience.
These sessions are appropriate for pregnancy after 12 weeks.
Lifestyle Consultations
You don’t need to overhaul your entire life to feel better. You just need to know where to start.
This virtual coaching session gives you dedicated time to talk through what’s been bothering you, feel truly heard, and get personalized guidance you can actually use.
We’ll take a closer look at your day-to-day habits, identify opportunities for change, and create practical strategies tailored to your goals. I’ll help you understand the why behind the recommendations so you can make small, sustainable changes that add up over time.
You’ll also receive access to an online resource library with personalized recipes, acupressure suggestions, stretches, and meditations to support you between sessions.
A great option if you want personalized health guidance and lifestyle support—without acupuncture.

I highly value a spirit of partnership in the therapeutic relationship and ask that you come ready to participate in your own healing.
My role is to offer the best care I can, listen carefully, reflect with you, celebrate your progress, and help you navigate setbacks along the way.
I share my professional perspective when you are considering changes that may affect your health, and I am honest about what I believe we can accomplish together.
I also value the honest expression of emotion and the connection between our emotional and physical lives. Just as stress, trauma, or prolonged strain can shape the way illness appears in the body, supportive experiences can become powerful forms of medicine.
Meaningful conversation, movement, rest, cultural experiences, time in nature, nourishing food, and what we take in through our eyes and ears all have the potential to support healing.
Healing is a process, and we approach it together with patience, clarity, and respect for your body’s capacity to change.

Your Questions, Answered
-
This depends on your goals, symptoms, and how long the issue has been present. It’s helpful to think in terms of giving your body more time instead of less, as healing is a process.
Acute concerns usually improve more quickly, with 5-12 sessions being average.
Chronic conditions often require a consistent care over time, with weekly appointments for 3-9 months being an average course.
With chronic conditions that stem from serious structural changes in the body, our progress may look like helping you maintain at a lower level of pain.
Fertility patients usually benefit from longer-term care, with 3-6 months being very supportive. However, if you are about to have IVF or IUI and didn’t start acupuncture earlier, please know that any amount of care is helpful.

Most people are surprised by how gentle acupuncture feels. The needles used in acupuncture are are thinner than a human hair. Acupuncture needles are nothing like the needles used for injections or blood draws. Sensations can vary from person to person, and sometimes you may feel a quick poke or pinch, but treatments are typically very calming and relaxing.

The rumors are true, I was formerly a very popular pre-natal massage therapist.
Due to an over-use injury I am retired from giving full 60-90 min massage.
That said, I am very happy to take on pre-natal clients for my restorative sessions. Our sessions will blend massage, energy work and acupuncture.
What People Are Saying
“I found Redstone online, after urgent care and chiropractic treatment had failed to remedy severe neck pain and numbness and hyper sensitivity of skin on my scalp and neck. Hannah recommended 5 sessions, and made deliberate progress. I'm pain free and only mildly stiff; all my symptoms have abated after exactly 5 sessions. Highly recommend!”

“I saw Hannah for acupuncture during my pregnancy. She's very gifted. She helped manage my aches and pains, and also helped me to relax even at the very end when I was so uncomfortable and getting nervous about delivery. Working with her was one of the best things I did while pregnant and I would do it again in a heartbeat! 100% recommend.”

“I’d been curious about acupuncture for a long time but was always a little hesitant. Working with Hannah at Redstone Acupuncture changed that right away. She genuinely checks in about how I’m doing—physically and emotionally—and adjusts each treatment to match what’s going on that day.
I came in with chronic back pain, and the care has really helped. Some sessions have given immediate relief, while others have supported longer-term maintenance, and both have made a noticeable difference.”

“I've been seeing Hannah for a while now and she brings nothing but professionalism, attention, and expertise to her practice. She listens attentively and provides care based on her knowledge and my specific needs and experiences—nothing cookie-cutter. I initially wasn't sure if acupuncture was going to help my issues (mostly side effects from cancer treatment) but it has reduced my problems by at least 5x and even my family noticed a difference once Hannah started treating me. Her services are a great value for the impact and comfort she provides. I recommend Redstone to anyone who will listen.”
