Flow into healing

Prepare.

• Be sure to eat a good meal a few hours before your appointment and drink plenty of water throughout the day

• Avoid foods/drinks that can change the color of your tongue (like coffee!)

• Wear loose, comfortable clothing – many key points are below the elbows and knees

• Thank you for showing up on time and completing paperwork before we begin

Experience.

• Your first appointment will last approximately 60 - 75 minutes. 

• We will discuss your current state of health in detail and create a treatment plan.

• Acupuncture is usually quite relaxing—while the needles are in (about 30 minutes), your job is to relax, breathe, and/or maybe take a little nap :)

Onward.

• Refrain from overexertion, sauna, drugs, or alcohol for at least 6 hours after your treatment.

• Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day.

• Be sure to stick with your treatment plan! That means keeping all your future acupuncture appointments and making small lifestyle changes.
