An Initial Visit & Intake runs 60–90 minutes ($200). Ongoing acupuncture runs 40–50 minutes ($100). An additional 30 minutes may be added for $100.

But we can use your symptoms and experiences to help guide us in getting a more accurate understanding of what you need as a unique individual.

At its most basic, acupuncture is the insertion of hair-thin, sterile needles into the skin. The patient might experience a pinching sensation at insertion or nothing at all, possibly followed by feelings of tingling, warmth, pressure or fullness.

Five to fifteen needles are inserted for 25-35 minutes, dependent on the conditions treated.

Some people report acupuncture makes them feel energized. Others say they feel relaxed. Still others simply fall into a deep sleep or dream state.

Like all medical treatments, the answer to this question depends on each person. For acute injuries 1-12 treatments may be required. For long-term chronic disease, ongoing weekly treatments may be necessary.

We will discuss a treatment plan after your first visit.

Herbal medicine is older than humans.

Prescriptions are given based on what feels do-able for a person in the form of a pill, powder, or tea.

Your appointment time is reserved just for you.
