What to Expect

Your comfort and safety are my utmost priority. Always feel free to ask me anything if you have any doubts or curiosity.
Please wear loose, comfortable clothing.
Make sure to have a little something to eat. You do not want to have an acupuncture treatment on a completely empty stomach. With that said, don’t overdue it, a light snack will suffice.
Prepare to spend 75-90 minutes at your initial appointment. We will cover your complete health history and information. This will insure an appropriate treatment plan catered specifically to your needs.
Arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your first appointment in order to fill out a small amount of paperwork with your health history and personal information.

You may notice a sense of elation and overall wellness. Plan for some relaxation after each acupuncture treatment. Intense exertion or exercise is not advisable within two hours of a treatment.
Please do not brush your tongue before treatments. Your natural tongue coating needs to be present for your practitioner to have an accurate sense of your health.
Stay warm. Even on warmer days it is a good idea to carry a light jacket or scarf with you in order to maintain a balanced homeostasis after an acupuncture treatment.
You may experience mild tenderness or light bruising at the sight of needle insertion. This can be normal and should resolve in a day or two.
