Your First Acupuncture AppointmentThis is an all-inclusive consultation. During this time we will do an in depth traditional diagnosis which includes taking a thorough medical history and physical exam. Once I have gathered sufficient information, I will determine a treatment plan personalized to your specific needs and discuss goals of treatment. I will at that time outline a strategy to work towards achieving them.
The traditions of this medicine tell us that the healing process is not just mechanical - it is not simply the placing of a needle. The most important thing for healing is the relationship between the practitioner, the spirits, and the client. This relationship begins with the personal attitude, inner behavior, integrity and dedication to the cultivation and personal development work of the practitioner. |
Pre-Treatment RecommendationsPlease arrive for your session well hydrated and having had a light meal a few hours prior. I recommend wearing loose-fitting, comfortable clothing so that your acupuncturist can access your arms and legs easily. Feel free to bring a change of clothes with you if you can't arrive in them. Additionally, refrain from using body scents such as cologne or perfumes.

Post-Treatment Recommendations
I recommend drinking plenty of water, rest, and refrain from vigorous exercise or alcohol following your treatment. Treatments may take up to 48 hours before change is noticed.
