Initial Intake Session
Please allow 1.5 to 2 hours for your first session. The initial session consists of a detailed intake of health history, lifestyle, exercise and dietary issues. This is followed by a full acupuncture session. We will establish treatment goals for the acupuncture sessions and estimate total sessions required for resolution of your symptoms. I will make recommendations of simple activity/exercise, dietary and herbal therapies that you can easily incorporate into your existing daily routine.
Follow-up Sessions
Follow up sessions are generally around 1 hour in length. They may consist of solely acupuncture or may include short periods of body work or any other of the adjunct therapies.
Pre-session
Please come in having had a light snack in the previous two hours. Loose comfortable clothing is optional. Please remember to notify me of any injuries or changes in health and/or medications during the previous week, especially in the 48 hours preceding the treatment.
Post-session
Allow several hours with limited activities and stress to allow the acupuncture treatment to settle in and fully take effect. Jumping from acupuncture to a high-stress workday or high-intensity workout can diminish the effects of the treatment
