During your First Acupuncture Session

Our practitioners take the time to listen to all of your health concerns, looking at the whole picture. We diagnose and provide a comprehensive treatment for the root cause of your symptoms. Each session is tailored to fit your individual needs, employing traditional modalities of acupuncture, massage, cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, herbal medicine, and nutritional counseling.

What to Expect

An initial acupuncture session consists of a health history intake, diagnosis, treatment plan and customized acupuncture treatment. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and will be given feedback and recommendations on how to make the most out of your treatments. Your initial visit will last 75-90 minutes and follow-up appointments are 60 minutes.

During each acupuncture treatment session, you may receive additional therapies, which include tui na (medical massage), cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, herbal prescription, nutrition and/or lifestyle recommendations.  We will decide what treatments are best for you once we have taken a detailed history and gained an understanding of your needs.

Before Your Visit

It is advised to have a light meal or snack before you arrive and always remain hydrated throughout the day. If possible, wear or bring loose-fitting clothes that can be rolled up to your elbows and knees.
