Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese Medicine that uses very fine, sterile needles to stimulate points on the body. This helps restore balance, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural healing process.

Most people feel little to no pain. You may notice a light pinch on insertion and sensations like warmth, heaviness, or tingling — all normal signs that treatment is working.

Acupuncture is commonly used for pain relief, stress, anxiety, headaches, digestive issues, hormonal balance, insomnia, and overall wellness.

Eat a light meal or snack beforehand, wear loose, comfortable clothes, and avoid caffeine or alcohol right before your appointment.

We’ll start with a brief intake to discuss your concerns. Then you’ll relax on the treatment table while needles are placed and left for 30 minutes. Many clients find it deeply relaxing.

Yes — when performed by a licensed practitioner, acupuncture is safe. I use single-use, sterile needles and follow strict hygiene protocols.

It varies by condition and your body’s response. Some people feel relief after one session, while others benefit from a short series of treatments.

You may feel relaxed, energized, or a little sleepy. Occasionally mild soreness and bruising occurs. These affects are temporary and part of the healing process.

Some insurance plans may cover acupuncture, but I do not accept insurance. You can submit an itemized receipt to your FSA or HSA for possible reimbursement. The first session costs $100, and follow-up sessions are $80.
