What to Expect

Your first session involves an extended interview involving history of your health concerns and review of systems, with shorter check-ins on subsequent visits to update current health status and progress. All acupuncture and herbal treatments include observation of tongue and pulse, and sometimes include abdominal (hara) diagnosis. I may use a combination of traditional massage, cupping, gua sha, moxa, e-stim, shiatsu, heat lamp, or infrared heating pad during your treatment as appropriate. Herbs (ingestible and/or topical), nutritional remedies, and functional movement may be recommended at the end of your treatment. 

 

Generally 6 treatments minimum per condition can be expected, at least once/week. Two visits/week for the first three weeks and once/week after that for three more weeks can be expected as an initial course of treatment for many conditions, especially if you have never received acupuncture regularly. Chronic conditions generally take longer to heal, even though you may experience relief after each visit. Imagine how long a condition took to develop - sometimes years; it may take the same amount of time to treat. Herbs may take effect quickly for some conditions; or they may take up three months or more to show results. Have patience – slow medicine leads to sustainable health and well-being!

Acupuncture – New/Established Patient (120/90 min $150/$100*) 

Acupuncture. Plain and simple. Purely magical. Safe and effective. Relieves pain, find calm, improve sleep and digestion, and treats a myriad of internal medicine or musculoskeletal conditions. May include massage, cupping, gua sha, moxa, e-stim, infrared, and sound as indicated. (Please note: appointments paid with insurance are 90 min for new clients and 60 min for established patients. Add-on services such as massage, cupping, gua sha, and moxa are offered for an additional fee for insurance patients.)

     
add-on pricing for insurance clients: Moxibustion $15 + copay

Cupping or Gua Sha (10 min) $15 + copay

Oil Massage (10 min) $10 + copay

Full Body Shiatsu Massage $40 + copay
Half Shiatsu Massage $30 + copay

​

Cupping releases tension, relieves pain, and detoxifies the body with the use of stationary or moving glass cups, while gua sha has similar actions via the use of a hammered copper scraping tool. Cupping can be substituted for gua sha upon request.

 

Burning moxa, the dried mugwort herb, generates infrared heat that penetrates deep into the body to warm, soothe, and heal. Moxa application can be directly on the skin, on a needle ("warming needle”), or above the surface of the skin using a moxa wand. Nourish your fire!

 

E-stim electrodes connect to at least two needles. This connection increases the treatment effect by stimulating the needles at a faster rate and longer period of time than is possible with manual manipulation. Increases output of endogenous opioids for greater analgesic and calming effects.
