Acupuncture is the insertion of fine, disposable, sterile needles into specific points on the body to facilitate healing.

The first appointment is 2 hours. After a very thorough health history, you will receive a full acupuncture treatment as well as any herbal recommendations and/or lifestyle suggestions. Return visits are 90 minutes, which include complete treatments and any additional helpful suggestions. 

I usually suggest once a week for 3 to 5 weeks to begin if you have a health issue that is reducing your quality of life.

Then, together we discuss how you would like to proceed.  My goal is to help you reach your goal.
