Acupuncture targets the root causes of your symptoms to sooth, balance and nourish your whole body.

THE INTAKE

LEARNING YOUR STORY

This appointment begins with an in-depth conversation about your health history, current symptoms and future wellness objectives. Once we’ve determined the main focus of our session, we proceed with a traditional assessment using pulse and tongue diagnosis to identify the most effective treatment strategy for you.

THE TREATMENT

UNDERSTANDING YOUR PATTERNS

Symptoms are your body’s way of signaling distress, and your specific pattern of symptoms communicate the ways in which your body has adapted to guard against perceived stressors. Acupuncture treatments are designed to disrupt those habituated cycles of response and bring your body back to homeostasis. Your treatment may incorporate a range of different modalities to enhance your session, including the prescription of herbal formulas when appropriate.

  • If acupuncture is covered on your insurance plan, I am happy to provide a receipt for you to file for reimbursement from your provider. I do not bill health insurance directly and you will be responsible for payment in full at the time of service. 

  • As the effects of treatment are cumulative, I encourage patients to come in weekly for the first few visits, at which point we assess for progress and determine if you would benefit from spacing out the frequency of your visits.

  • We will have a clearer sense of this following your initial visit and based on the information gathered during your intake. Some patients experience relief within 1-2 treatments, but chronic conditions typically take longer to see substantive improvement.

  • If you need to cancel or reschedule, please be in touch as soon as possible. Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice and no-shows will be charged the full amount of the scheduled appointment. If you are unable to change or cancel your appointment directly, please email me to reschedule your appointment for you.
