Most conditions are treatable with acupuncture combined with adequate rest, nourishing food, and exercise. In particular acupuncture has demonstrated remarkable success with the treatment of frustrating chronic conditions. Because the underlying cause of energy imbalance and weakness is addressed multiple symptoms can be helped at the same time. By strengthening and balancing the energy nature brings healing at a deep level rather than attempts to fix symptoms as if there were a better healer than nature. Chinese medicine views the symptoms of illness – physical, mental, or emotional – as warning signs that you are not functioning as an integrated whole.
Acupuncture helps to prevent recurring ailments and to recover more quickly if you become ill. You do not need to be sick to benefit from acupuncture; you can have greater vitality and stamina, more restful sleep, more harmonious relationships and a greater ability to care for your own health.
The initial session is quite extensive and sets the foundation for treatment moving forward. We’ll complete a physical exam where I feel your pulses, check your blood pressure, note your temperature distribution, test the left-right balance of energy pathways (meridians) and more. In this session, we’ll also document your health history thus far, but no lengthy questionnaire forms here 😊. If time permits, either an acupuncture or acupressure treatment is given.
Usually weekly sessions are recommended until symptoms improve and then sessions are slowly spaced out. Introductory Package: Come for an initial intake and five weekly treatments. The sixth treatment is free. This supports you in coming for regular treatment when you need it. Each session builds on the next and each session is individualized for you and your unique energy. Even with people who have the same condition or symptoms the treatment is tailored to that person.
Some insurance covers acupuncture. I am glad to give you receipts with which to seek reimbursement. Health savings accounts, flexible spending accounts, credit cards, checks, and cash are all acceptable forms of payment. See the rates tab for current pricing.

Initial Intake and Exam:
$140 – lasts 90 minutes. This is an essential foundational appointment where we gather information to establish where you are and where you’d like to go. This includes reviewing systems such as sleep, digestion, menstruation, and noting past medical and life and lifestyle if they arent part of the main concerns. Then I complete a physical exam where I feel your pulses, check your blood pressure, note your temperature distribution, and check structural mobility. There’s no lengthy questionnaire forms here . If time permits, an acupressure treatment is given. Needles are not used on this first session. Doing so allows me to review information and come up with a treatment plan. Just as people find symptom relief through counseling, many people find this intake helps with their symptoms in addition to helping gain perspective on their well-being.
