CANCELLATION POLICY

I request 24 hours notice if you cannot make it to your appointment. Any appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours notice will be billed a $50 late cancellation fee.  This cost is not reimbursable by insurance.

What to expect:

Tranquil and relaxing
 

Your first treatment:  During your initial appointment, I take a thorough health history, answer your questions, and devise a personalized care plan based on your unique constitution.  At the in-person visit I feel your pulse at your wrist and inspect your tongue to inform my diagnosis.

Gentle acupuncture
 

Acupuncture:  After selecting the appropriate points for you based on your constitution (usually between 5 and 20), I insert ultra-thin, single-use, disposable needles.  There may be a brief, slight sensation upon insertion of the needles, which often subsides into a pleasant state of relaxation.  You will be able to rest with the needles for about 30 minutes. 



Moxa, or moxibustion therapy
 

 Moxa: This is a gentle treatment where small amounts of dried mugwort herb (artemisia argyi) are lit near the skin, to warm specific areas or points.  It can be helpful for a variety of applications, from pain relief to prenatal care and labor preparation.

Traditional fire cupping
 

Cupping:  Suction cups are placed on the body to provide a “reverse massage” where the tissue is compressed away from the body.  It helps to increase circulation and bring oxygen to the area- great for chronic tension in the neck, shoulders, and back.

Gua sha
 

Gua Sha:  This manual technique employs a small stone paddle or ceramic spoon to smooth out the tissue.  It may be used to fend off a cold, or applied similarly to cupping for musculoskeletal tension.

Chinese herbal medicine
 

Herbal medicine:  I am trained in traditional Chinese medicine, classical Chinese herbal medicine, and western herbal medicine.  I offer customized herbal formulas to support you between treatments- often the best results are achieved with both acupuncture and herbs.  The cost of an herbal formula is between $10- $40 per week.
