While it is true that many of our patients are being supported through complex fertility, it's also true that many of them aren't. We excel in helping people with reproductive health (PCOS, endometriosis, testicular pain, ovarian cysts, post abortive care), migraines, chronic pain, reflux, insomnia and boring old stress management just to name a few. We may be a little baby-obsessed but you don't have to be in the process to get our attention. Not in any way.
Initial Intake Visit $165.00 1.5 hours
During your New Patient appointment we will lead you through a comprehensive health and social history to evaluate your condition through the lens of Traditional East Asian Medicine. We will go over any questions or concerns you have about acupuncture and your treatment. In addition to gentle yet effective acupuncture, you will likely also experience what we like to call "head to toe moxa" which firmly engages with the parasympathetic system allowing for a great deal of ease and security. The needles and moxa do their work as your body literally heals itself. I come into the room to remove needles, check your pulse, and we schedule your next appointments. You should leave feeling a little floaty, with tea in hand.
Follow Up Visit $125.00 1.25 hours
Follow up visits typically involve more concise updates and conversations, but they don't always. Sometimes we want to focus on a little more education, your herbal formula, or a little more time on the table with cupping/gua sha/moxa/massage. This is why we are transitioning from the typical 60 minute session to a full hour and 15 minutes. Expect to feel wonderful, pampered even, as we work on your health concerns...tea in hand as you leave of course.
Extended Visit $145.00 1.5 hours
Like the regular visit, but for people that just don't want to get off the table or would like a little more time with one of the additional modalities.
Perfect for people that used to come in regularly, and now come in every 6 to 12 weeks.
