To get the most out of your treatment, come in well-hydrated, have a light meal beforehand (avoid coming in hungry), and try to avoid caffeine for at least two hours before so your body can respond in a more relaxed way. It’s best not to arrive hungover or under the influence of drugs, as it can interfere with both acupuncture efficacy and muscle testing results. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing so we can easily access acupuncture points without you feeling restricted.
It depends on what we’re treating. Typically, acupuncture is done weekly at first, then spaced out as your symptoms improve—eventually shifting to more seasonal or as-needed care.
Muscle testing doesn’t need to be done as often, especially if you’re consistent with your herbs, supplements, and lifestyle recommendations. I recommend people commit to at least 3 monthly treatments when starting. This ends up being about the same (or less) monetary value as weekly acupuncture and less time spent. Patients are welcome to come in weekly or bi-weekly for acupuncture if they'd like.
At each muscle testing session we assess your current needs for herbs and supplements. In some cases, no adjustments are necessary; at other times, a few may be recommended. Please plan to budget an additional $20–100 as needed.
Acupuncture helps bring the body back into balance so it can function the way it’s meant to. It supports a thriving, resilient system by improving circulation, regulating the nervous system, and helping your body process stress more efficiently, creating the conditions needed to resolve chronic issues at the root rather than just managing symptoms.
In many cases, yes. Treatment can be very supportive when you’re starting to feel sick, recovering from illness, or wanting support for your immune system and nervous system. If you have mild symptoms and feel well enough to come in, you are welcome to wear a mask during your treatment and I’m happy to mask as well upon request.
If you have a fever, active vomiting, or a highly contagious illness, please reach out before your appointment so we can determine the best course of action together.
