What to expect in a session
Initial Evaluation
Once you have been scheduled for an office visit or tele-consult you will be provided with the initial paper work. Please fill it out in detail; included are questions about your health history, previous medical diagnosis, supplements, medications, diet, emotions, and health goals. This information gives me the “big picture” about the state of your health from an Eastern and Western perspective. Together we will go over your information and I will answer any questions you may have.
Treatment
After the intake the treatment begins. Healing sessions include acupuncture and typically one or more adjunct healing tools that are beneficial for your specific condition. Expect to spend 40-45 minutes alone in deep relaxation, a bell will be provided in case you need to call your practitioner.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is mind-body medicine, used to treat both physical and mental-emotional concerns. Acupuncture is used to balance the energy in your body, relax the nervous system, and increase blood flow to expedite healing. We use Acupuncture needles that are sterile single use, and very gentle.
Dietary Support & Detox
Specific dietary recommendations help you transition to a healthier state and achieve your goals. Recommendations are based off Traditional Chinese Medicine as well as modern research. Examples include; a cleanse to gently detox, a guided elimination diet to pinpoint food sensitivities, or six-week eating plan to optimize fertility.
Herbs & Supplements
Chinese Herbal formulas have been used for thousands of years to aid in pain reduction, hormone balancing and to enhance fertility. Supplements are incorporated to support and enhance your health. We only recommend high quality herbs and supplements from trusted sources.
Scar Therapy with MPS
Scars and scar tissue can be an overlooked source of imbalance in the body, blocking “qi”, blood flow and lymphatic movement. We use Microcurrent Point Stimulation to gently soften adhesion’s and scars, patients typically feel and see results within 2-3 treatments.
Cold Laser
Low Level Light Therapy (Cold Laser) is the pain free use of light to heal the body. Laser therapy has been scientifically proven to reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling and to accelerate the healing process.
Cupping, Moxa & Ear Seeds
Other modalities are used as needed to enhance a treatment or offer support until your next visit. My favorites include cupping to relax the muscles. Moxa to tonify the body and build “qi or energy. Ear seeds to provide acupressure to reduce anxiety or pain.
