We really look forward to treating you!  Here is some helpful information so that you can know what to expect before your visit.

Initial and Follow up Treatments

Initial appointments typically take about an hour.  It is advisable to contact me via email or phone  before your initial visit to discuss the reason for your visit, though it is not mandatory.   This can allow for a more thorough understanding of your particular case and a more efficient treatment plan going in. Follow up visits can last from 45 minutes to one hour depending on the modalities employed, and typical needle retention time is around 30 minutes.

Please be advised that arriving late for an appointment can result in an abbreviated treatment or a cancellation of treatment with a fee.

What to Wear

It is recommended that you wear loose fitting clothing, or bring shorts and a tank top to your treatment.  

Eat Before your visit

Eating a meal an hour or so before your treatment is a good idea.  If this is not possible, please have a snack 10 to 15 minutes before your treatment.  Being treated with acupuncture on an empty stomach may cause you to become light headed or to faint.

Cancellation Fees

Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance, as time and space is limited.  Arriving 30 minutes late or more will be viewed as a cancellation.  There is a fee of $50 for any cancellation that is not made at least 24 hours in advance.
