Your Visit
We believe in treating the individual first and foremost.
On your initial visit, we will spend time learning about you, your health history, and your desires for improvement. With this detailed knowledge in hand, we will formulate a personalized treatment strategy, which besides acupuncture may include cupping, gua sha, custom-blended herbal therapies, essential oils, nutritional counseling and lifestyle recommendations.
The initial visit may take up to 90 minutes, which is necessary to create an individualized treatment plan. Treatments during subsequent visits will be adapted appropriately to your progress and will generally last between 45-60 minutes.
The number of treatments needed varies from person to person. Some people experience significant improvement after one or two treatments, while others may take weeks or months to achieve lasting results. As part of our treatment strategy we will discuss duration and figure out the most efficient and effective way for you – with your cooperation – to achieve your desired results.
Keep in mind, acute conditions require fewer treatments whereas chronic conditions generally require more time. Generally I recommend 5-10 consecutive treatments for most people at which time we re-evaluate and set up a follow-up plan/schedule that suits your needs.
