New patient information

Welcome to the wonderful world of Chinese Medicine!

I am looking forward to meeting you and feel confident that you will leave your visit feeling more relaxed and happy to be on your way towards better health and well-being.

Your first visit will take between 11/2 to 2 hours and will include a thorough health history interview, an individually tailored diagnosis and treatment plan, and an acupuncture treatment.

You may or may not be prescribed a Chinese herbal formula, based on your needs. Most people do not find acupuncture to be painful experience; in fact, they usually find it to be incredibly relaxing, and sometimes fall asleep during the treatment. Follow up treatments will last about 1 hour.

  • Please have some food in your belly prior to treatment, especially if you are pregnant.
  • Please refrain from coffee or alcohol prior to treatment.
  • Try not to brush your tongue that morning (we look at it).
  • Avoid wearing perfume or strong scents.
  • You can participate in normal activities before and after treatment.
