Common questions, answered...

Ummm, needles, really?!!! 
We use sterile, disposable needles (used once, on you and that's it). They are tiny. Generally, everyone is nervous the first time and everyone comes back, take that as reassurance that acupuncture is no big deal! 

What to wear?
Please wear comfortable clothing that allows us to access your legs (up to the knee), and lower arms up to the elbow. Skinny jeans restrict our ability to treat you.
​
How long is the visit? 
Plan for an hour with a few extra minutes on the first visit. 

How often will I need to come in?
In a nutshell, acupuncture breaks up disruptive patterns, stimulates your body's innate healing mechanisms, and calms your nervous system. When working on new, chronic or severe issues, we recommend coming in frequently (2-3x/week) until there is an obvious improvement and you are maintaining results. We will give you a suggested treatment frequency at your first visit and want you to do what feels right to you. 

What is the community treatment room like?
We make our space tranquil and soothing and provide blankets, ear plugs, and eye masks.  We play soft music, and most people relax deeply and/or fall asleep. You can contribute positively by being mindful of your voice volume, keys, coins, jingling bracelets, phones, etc.  :) 

Can I come in without a "real" health issue?
We welcome and deeply respect the wisdom of patients who come in simply to give themselves the deep rest, self-care and nourishing reset that weekly acupuncture provides. Acunaps are awesome!

We would love to have you visit soon.
