What to Expect

Number and Frequency of Treatments:

This is all very individual.  You will likely feel better walking out than you did walking in.  But acupuncture is rarely a one time treatment.  While often providing immediate relief in the short term, acupuncture creates sustained relief over several sessions.

Your First Appointment:


90 Minutes.  This allows time me to understand your health history/condition and establish a preliminary plan for treatement.  Make sure you've had something to eat and drink prior to your appointment.  Please wear pants and shirts that can be pushed up past the knee/elbow.  

Subsequent Appointments:

60 Minutes.  While most acupuncturists work several rooms at a time, you receive my focused attention for an entire hour.

During that time, I will use whatever technique that will best help you.  So you don't have to choose between therapies.  I often combine acupuncture and energy healing in a session.
