Fees

I see one patient at a time so that I am able to devote all of my attention to their needs. The first visit is an hour and half, consisting of a thorough evaluation that allows for primary issues and concerns to be addressed, followed by body work that includes acupuncture and various other modalities such as massage, gua sha or cupping, the use of essential oils, and/or moxibustion. It is important for the patient to feel safe and respected. I facilitate a nurturing environment where healing is allowed to unwind as a physical, mental and spiritual process. At the end of the session there may be recommendations proposed to help strengthen preventative care.

Follow-up visits are one hour long and structured upon the same protocol of intake and treatment.

Fee Schedule:
Initial visit 1 1/2 hours......$100
Follow up visits 1 hour.......$80

Smoking Cessation.........$300
Initial Visit 1 hour + 7 follow-up visits 45 minutes

On the Day of Your Treatment

1. Eat food before your appointment but not a large meal.
   
   
2. Try not to over exercise or consume alcohol on the day of your treatment.
   
   
3. Plan your activities so that after the treatment you can get some rest, or at least not have to be working at top performance. This is especially important for the first few visits.
   
   
4. Continue to take any prescription medicines as directed by your regular doctor.
   
   
5. Substance abuse (drugs and alcohol) especially in the week prior to treatment may seriously interfere with the effectiveness of acupuncture treatments.
   
   
6. Be sure to drink plenty of water and stay warm after the treatment.
   
   
7. Remember to keep good mental or written notes of what your response is to the treatment. This is important so that the follow-up treatments can be designed to best help you and your problem.
