Why Choose Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a powerful option when your body feels “stuck” in patterns that aren’t resolving on their own or when you want non-traditional support options.

This approach may be especially helpful for:

• Chronic tension or patterns of holding.
• Nervous system dysregulation (stress, anxiety, burnout).
• Symptoms that persist despite other treatments.
• Supporting overall balance across body systems.

Why people choose this style of care:

• Gentle, wholistic approach.
• Focus on underlying patterns & not just symptom management.
• Supports long-term regulation and resilience.

What to Expect

Sessions are calm, quiet, and designed to help you and your body relax and settle.

During your first and additional visits:

• A comprehensive review of your symptoms, health history, lifestyle and patterns.
• Assessment of your pulse and tongue.
• Insertion of fine, sterile needles gently placed at selected points.
• Rest for 20-30 minutes after needle insertion.
• Additional therapies may be used such as cupping, gu sha or moxibustion to support the movement of Qi.

What you may experience:

• Deep relaxation or a meditative state.
• Subtle sensations (warmth, movement, heaviness). Most people feel minimal to no discomfort.
• A sense of release as your body begins to unwind.

Follow up & Frequency

Most patterns and conditions take some time to resolve.

Each person is unique and we will tailor your treatment plan to your specific needs and goals.

A typical treatment schedule might look like the following:

• Initally 2x/week for 3-4 weeks to build momentum
• Then 1x/week for 4-6 weeks as your system begins to balance & regulate

At that point we will reassess our goals and progress. Often people can reduce their visits to 1-2x/month for continued support.
