INITIAL CONSULTATIONS
Your first experience starts with an initial consultation. You have the option of a standalone virtual consultation, or a consultation paired with an acupuncture treatment. For consultations paired with an acupuncture treatment, you can either do both in-clinic in the same appointment, or you can have your consultation virtually & then come in for acupuncture at a later date.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
It differs from person to person. Some people feel dramatic relief after the first treatment; others build results gradually.
​
As a general rhythm, I recommend weekly visits while we're establishing the work, then spacing them out as you improve — every other week, then monthly or seasonally for maintenance.
Consistency early on matters more than intensity; regular treatment gives the body a chance to hold the changes between sessions.
​
For acute problems, fewer visits are usually needed — often eight to ten in total. For complex or long-standing chronic conditions, expect to stay at the weekly cadence for a longer stretch before tapering.
​
We'll map out an individualized plan, including the expected number of treatments, at your initial visit.

Cupping Therapy
Cupping feels like massage (only, in reverse!). Cupping is not only for muscular pain but also detoxification, building the immune system and calms down the nervous system. By gently pulling the muscles and fascia upwards, it draws toxins to the surface of the skin where the immune system is better able to eliminate them. We may use a mixture of different cupping tools like fire cupping, square cupping with or without movement.
30 mins (single body part) | $85
45 mins (multiple body parts) | $125
Pack of 5 - 30 mins F/C | $415
