What's included in your appointment?

Initial Consultation

45-minute phone call

Before we meet in person, you'll fill out an intake form and we'll talk it through by phone. I want to hear the whole story: your symptoms, your history, your sleep, digestion, energy, and what you hope to feel like. You'll leave the call with a few first steps you can start right away.

Acupuncture

Core of every session

Fine, sterile, single-use needles are placed at points chosen for your pattern, not a generic protocol. Most people feel a heavy, calm stillness settle in while the needles rest. Sessions help the body move out of stress mode so it can repair, digest, and sleep the way it's designed to.

Herbal Medicine

Custom formulas

When it will speed your progress, I recommend Chinese herbal formulas matched to your diagnosis. Herbs keep working between visits, supporting things like hormones, digestion, sleep, and immunity. I only use formulas from suppliers that test for purity, and I review every recommendation with your current medications in mind.

Cupping Therapy

As needed

Glass or silicone cups create gentle suction that lifts and loosens tight muscle and fascia. Cupping brings fresh circulation to areas that feel stuck, sore, or tense, and many people find it deeply relaxing. Temporary round marks can appear and usually fade within a few days.

Nutrition & Lifestyle Recommendations

Take-home guidance

Chinese medicine sees food as daily medicine. Based on your constitution and the season, I'll suggest simple changes to what, when, and how you eat, along with sleep and daily-rhythm adjustments. The goal is small shifts you can actually keep, not a strict plan.

Personalized Movement & Meditation

Qigong and breath practice

Your care continues at home. I'll teach you short qigong movements, breathing exercises, or meditations chosen for what you're working on, whether that's calming anxiety, easing pain, or building energy. A few minutes a day helps the results of each session last longer.

How to Get Started as a New Private Patient

Consultation

Before Your First Acupuncture Session

45 Minute Phone Call

After you book your initial consultation appointment, you will be emailed an initial intake form to complete. This helps me better understand your medical history and your health goals. During the call, we will review your information together and I will ask you questions regarding your total body health. I will provide a list of health recommendations based on our call.

Treatment

Follow up Acupuncture Sessions

60 minutes

At your first in person visit, I will perform a tongue and pulse diagnosis to complete my evaluation. We will speak at the beginning of each session about your current symptoms and any questions you may have about your at-home recommendations. You will then receive acupuncture and/or cupping based upon your diagnosis. Be sure to drink plenty of water after each session, and take it easy for the rest of the day if possible!

Continued Care

Health Maintenance

Ongoing

After your first acupuncture session, you will be provided with a personalized treatment plan suggesting recommended number of sessions, in addition to a list of ongoing health recommendations which may include herbal medicine, dietary suggestions, supplements, and lifestyle changes. I will check in with you upon completion of the treatment plan to determine best next steps and to celebrate your health transformation! You may continue to come in for acupuncture sessions as maintenance with whatever frequency you choose once your primary issue is resolved.
