Your First Acupuncture Treatment

An acupuncture treatment begins with our full medical interview to allow us a solid foundation for your future treatments and cultivating a health plan. Together we discuss the many facets that make up general health: digestive function, sleep habits, stress threshold, emotional status, physical capacity, and so on and so forth. 

We dive into what specific concerns bring you to seek acupuncture. These details help to piece apart a complaint and how it specifically presents in you. 

Then, it’s time for the good stuff. 

For the treatment, you get to relax peacefully on a comfy table in a relaxing room. The needle placement is quick and gentle. We chat while everything is placed and then you get to rest. Needles stay in for between 20-30 minutes depending on the person. Your room is comfortable, quiet and cozy. The perfect recipe for a healing space. After all needles are removed you may receive cupping, gua sha or liniment application, depending on what you need.

From there we plan the number of treatments, a timeline and expectations. Everything is curated per person, per condition. Customization is the beauty of acupuncture.
