Your first appointment
Your first appointment with me will be an hour and a half (schedule “First time acupuncture treatment” on my booking site). You and I may have a lot of questions for each other. 90 minutes allows us the time to fully discuss how I may be able to help you and answer all of your questions.
How can you prepare?
Please fill out my first-time patient paperwork beforehand and either scan and email it back to me (preferred) or print it and bring it with you. This allows me plenty of time to think about your concerns before we meet.
For our first appointment please wear or bring comfortable shorts and a tank top. Don’t come with a completely empty stomach, but try to have eaten an hour or two beforehand. Please check my COVID precautions page for more information on how we ask you to prepare for entering our shared space.
What to expect
Once you and I have had a chance to talk, I’ll have a better idea of how I can help you. I also like to take a few extra minutes to talk about acupuncture if this is your first experience. You should know exactly what to expect and be comfortable with your treatment before we begin.
After your treatment, I will give you an individual plan which will describe my impression of your pattern and how I may ask you to support your treatments during the first few weeks of our partnership. After 4 sessions we will re-evaluate where we are and where we may be headed. It’s important that we be on the same page regarding your expectations and mine, since this is your health and comfort we’re talking about!
