WELCOME
NEW PATIENTS
Whether you're new to Acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, or Massage Therapy, we're here to guide you.
Call our front desk or book online at your convenience.
PREPARE FOR YOUR
ACUPUNCTURE VISIT
Wear:
Loose, comfortable clothing that can easily roll up to access your knees, elbows, or shoulders. Feel free to bring a change of clothes or borrow a piece from us if needed.
Prepare:
Eat a light meal beforehand and limit caffeine. Too much caffeine or being too full/too hungry may cause lightheadedness (rare). If you feel woozy, please let us know — we'll help you relax with water, tea, or a snack.
Check In:
Arrive a few minutes early, check in at the front desk, complete any needed paperwork, remove your shoes, and silence your phone.
Consultation:
You'll meet privately with your acupuncturist to review your health history, goals, and concerns. Afterward, you'll move to the community treatment room (whispering only) and store your belongings in a basket.
Getting Settled:
Roll up sleeves and pant legs above elbows and knees, then lie down. We offer pillows, blankets, bolsters, and eye pillows — let us know if you need anything adjusted for comfort.
Treatment:
Treatment usually lasts 45–60 minutes. Let us know if you need a shorter session. For longer treatments, book our “Return Acupuncture with Bodywork” option. To ask for help during treatment, simply open your eyes or say "excuse me."
After Treatment:
Your acupuncturist will suggest a personalized treatment plan, which may include herbal medicine, Qi Gong, or bodywork to support your healing.
Results:
Consistency is key! Following your treatment plan leads to the best outcomes. If you ever feel progress isn't as expected, please talk with us about adjusting your care.
PREPARE FOR YOUR
MASSAGE VISIT
Prepare:
Stay hydrated and eat a light snack before your session. Massage boosts circulation, so dehydration or low blood sugar can sometimes make you feel lightheaded. If that happens, let us know — we’ll get you tea, water, or a snack and have you rest until it passes.
Check In:
Check in at the front desk, complete any needed paperwork, take off your shoes, and silence your phone. Please speak in whispers in shared areas to help maintain a calm environment.
Consultation:
Each session begins with a brief check-in with your massage therapist to discuss your health, preferences, and goals. You can request pressure level, cupping, hot stones, or any specific focus areas — this time is yours, so don’t hesitate to speak up.
Treatment:
You’ll have privacy to undress to your comfort level (undergarments or none — your choice). We follow strict draping standards to keep you covered, exposing only the area being worked on. Communicate any discomfort or adjustment needs during the session — your comfort is key.
After Treatment:
Your therapist will check in and may offer suggestions or a treatment plan. Be gentle with yourself, hydrate well, and expect mild soreness for a day or two. Soaking in Epsom salts, using a CBD bath bomb, or light stretching can help ease post-massage soreness.
Results:
Consistency supports lasting results, whether you’re treating pain or maintaining wellness. Ask about our discounted Massage Membership to support ongoing care.
