Interested to learn if acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can help you? I'm happy to offer a FREE 15-minute phone consultation to address your concerns. Schedule an appointment online or contact me.

"What does the first visit entail?"

In your initial visit, we will discuss your current health concern(s), medical history, lifestyle, emotional state, treatment goals, and plans in detail. I will feel your pulse and take a look at your tongue to glean more information about your internal state. Based on all those factors, I will create a treatment plan and give an initial treatment.

Eat a light meal about an hour before your appointment. Avoid eating a big meal, consuming alcohol, drinking or eating things that change the color of your tongue or exercising vigorously right before your visit.

Wear loose, comfortable clothing. In most cases, removal of clothes is not needed. If it is required, a sheet will be provided to maintain your privacy.
