Acupuncture is generally not painful and many people find it to be a relaxing experience. If you have a specific condition you're looking to treat or any concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out!

For first time patients, I like to chat with you before starting the treatment. I allow for an hour and a half on the first session and for every follow up visit about one hour! You will be able to relax for about 30 minutes.

Please contact me and we can confirm with your provider!

We are so excited to have you start your acupuncture journey with us! Here are some things that you can expect during your first visit.

1. Consultation and diagnosis: we will talk about your history, lifestyle, diet, sleep, etc. and reason for seeking treatment. We may also do a diagnostic assessment of your tongue and pulse.

2. Treatment plan: based on the initial assessment we will develop a treatment plan for your specific needs.

3. Needle insertion: you will be able to lie down on a comfortable treatment table, and needles will be inserted into specific points on the body.

4. Rest: Once the needles are in place, you’ll typically relax for about 30 minutes. Some people feel a deep sense of calm or may even fall asleep during the session.

5. Aftercare: the needles will be removed, and cupping, moxibustion, or light massage could be performed depending on the reason for treatment. We will offer advice on hydration, rest or other lifestyle adjustments to support your healing process.

It’s common to feel some immediate relief and generally relaxed. The full benefits of acupuncture may take time to develop, with multiple sessions often recommended.
