Does acupuncture hurt?

Acupuncture needles are very thin & often do not feel like anything. You may feel a pinch at first. Acupuncture should never produce sharp, burning, electric, or stabbing pain.

What should I wear to my appointment?

Please wear loose and comfortable clothes to your appointment. Tight clothes are not recommended. Socks are okay, but may need to be removed.

What should I expect at my appointment?

Each appointment usually consists of an intake process, including pulse reading and tongue diagnosis. After the intake, you are guided to relax on a massage table as the acupuncture needles are gently inserted to your level of comfort. Many clients find that they are able to relax and take a nap after the needles are in. You may feel light & energized, or blissed out and tired after your session.

Do you take insurance?

I currently am not in-network with any insurance companies, but can provide you with a detailed receipt to request reimbursement from your insurance provider.
