FAQ

What does acupuncture feel like?

Most people are surprised at how gentle it is. You may feel a tiny pinch or a dull sensation that may fade. Many patients describe a sense of deep relaxation, warmth, or even a "floating" sensation during treatment. Every body is a little different.

How does acupuncture work?

Acupuncture helps regulate your nervous system, reduce inflammation, balance hormones, and so much more. In Chinese medicine, we describe the process as restoring the flow if qi, your body's vital energy, so that natural healing can take place and so your body can return to a state of homeostasis.

Is acupuncture safe?

Yes, for two reasons. First, I use sterile, single-use needles and follow strict hygiene protocols. Second, I won't perform acupuncture on you if it is not beneficial for your condition. In fact, if acupuncture would put you at risk in any way, I will either utilize another method like medical massage, Tui Na, cupping, food therapy, or tuning fork or I will refer you to the practitioner who will better suite your needs. Your safety is my top priority. 

Can teens or children come for acupuncture?

Yes, Acupuncture can be very effective for teens, especially athletes and those navigating hormonal changes and stress. Treatments are gentle, adapted to age, and always with parental consent. For younger children, I often perform needleless treatments by utilizing a tuning fork or other gentle tools provide similar results while keeping the nervous system in a relaxed state

How much does a session cost?

I believe in simple, transparent pricing. You can choose a single flat-rate session or a membership option if you'd like consistent, ongoing care. Check out both options on our Services & Pricing page.

Can acupuncture help with fertility, stress, or pain?

Absolutely. I specializing in pain relief and women's health (fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, hormonal balance), but I also treat stress, sleep problems, digestive issues, and more.
