Welcome!

Please plan 75-90 mintues for your first visit.  Please Review our COVID safety procedures here.  The time will be spent reviewing your medical history, learning about your goals for treatment,  performing an assessment including examination of the tongue, pulse,  abdomen, and exploring physical, emotional, and lifestyle factors that may be affecting your health.  A diagnosis will be formed from the Chinese medical perspective,  your questions will be answered, and a treatment plan will be formulated.  You can expect treatment with acupuncture, herbs, lifestyle and dietary suggestions or a combination. 

Please be sure to eat prior to your first treatment. Special clothing is not necessary but you may prefer to wear something that is loose and comfortable.   We recommend abstaining from excessive caffeine, alcohol, perfume or makeup for your first visit to ensure a correct diagnosis.   A link to paperwork will be sent to you via email with your appointment confirmation.  If you think you have insurance coverage, it is your responsibility  to verify that coverage  directly with your carrier.  You may  review our insurance section here.
You will receive more benefit from your treatment if you are not extremely active after your visit and if you avoid any activities that aggravate your condition for the following 24 hours if possible.
