What’s an acupuncture treatment like? 

I love this question.

Why? Because acupuncture is not usually what people are expecting. It's BETTER.

The needles are tiny (much thinner than you're likely imagining) and most patients take a nap on the treatment table.

The room is warm, quiet and comfy.

The treatment itself is comfortable - it would have to be, in order to nap, right?

Here's a quick overview of what a treatment is like:

First we talk about the symptoms or conditions that are bothering you - what you came in to be treated for.

I'll also ask questions about your health in general (digestion, energy, etc.) and healthy history.

I’ll ask to see your tongue and take your pulse. These are important for Chinese medicine diagnosis. They help me understand how all your body’s internal systems are working together, so that I can choose the most appropriate acupuncture points for your treatment. 😁

Then you'll lay down on the treatment table and I'll quickly put in the needles. It only takes about 5 minutes.

I leave you alone to rest for 25-40 minutes.

Then... you nap! >> Optional. Maybe you meditate on the meaning of life or daydream about your next vacation. Up to you!

I come back and take the needles out and you're good to go 👍
