Are You New to Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a wonderful means of addressing health.
If you're new to acupuncture, keep this in mind prior to the first visit:
- Dress comfortably. We can always gown you as needed during treatment.
- Eat lightly within an hour or two of your appointment. Don't come to an afternoon appointment after only black coffee and dry toast for breakfast!
- If you have concerns, please talk about them.
You may feel tired after your first visit. This is because the body will now be working hard in response to treatment. It's perfectly normal-some people look forward to the deep relaxation!-and across an ongoing series of visits it becomes part of the normal expectation.
I'm a process-oriented acupuncturist. This means I will be talking to you as I treat you, checking in about your comfort and the direction the treatment is taking.
Acupuncture is a fascinating process. I hope to convince you of this from the moment we begin our work.
