What you can expect from our first session

The first session generally will last between 75 and 90 min. And this is how it works: Before we start any  type of treatment, we’ll go over the reason that got you through the door and briefly explore your medical history as well as environmental factors that might contribute to the symptoms you are experiencing. The goal of this assessment is to identify the root of your symptoms and design a plan of care that address them head on. Once we are both comfortable with the diagnosis, we start a 45-60 min treatment that will involve one or a combination of the therapeutic methods used in Chinese medicine.

The follow-up sessions

Hopefully, the first session has worked well for you and you are coming back for a follow-up session. That second session (and any after that) lasts between 45 to 60 min and is designed to take stock: are you feeling better?  Are you sleeping better? Do you have a bit more energy? Once we get clarity on what worked, we build on the results of the first session and continue the treatment, if and as required. The ultimate goal of acupuncture is to facilitate the self healing process.
