How do I craft my acupuncture practice with you in mind?

My practice focuses on delivering a 5 element of acupuncture healing experience with an emphasis on beauty, peace, healing, relaxation comfort, safety, and an overall sense of well-being. It incorporates  4 of 5  senses and my timing uses the newest research both in acupuncture and human physiology to deliver the best possible treatment for you.

I have been doing this for 23 years. I  have received many acupuncture sessions from many good practitioners. In that process, I learned valuable lessons about what to do and ALSO what not to do  :)


So here is what to expect when you sign up for a treatment with me:



Timing: Your app is 1 hr and I treat only you during that hour. My total focus is on treatment strategy for you, not another 2 people at the same time. 


Space and privacy: You will have a heated table, where the heat is adjustable. It is not an oscillating heat, so it would not burn you and you will be alone in the treatment room, so you can completely relax. I would not do my paperwork next to you.


Sheets: I make an extra effort to provide sheets for you that are washed with hypoallergenic soap. I have a Tempurpedic pillow and several bolsters to adjust your back, knees, hands, and wrists during the treatment. My focus is to provide you with comfort and warmth that I see as essential for you to relax.


Needles: I specifically trained in the Japanese needling technique, which is gentle. The needles are very thin and the needling is very shallow. If you have had acupuncture somewhere else, you will immediately notice the difference.


Sound: You have a choice of quiet and or classical, nature sound music. I adjust the volume for you. 


Retention of the needles: Most often you are going to receive 2 acupuncture sessions during one app. 

 One lasting 20 min / because that is how long it takes to switch from sympathetic - fight or flight to parasympathetic/ to relax- most people fall asleep on the table.


The first needle treatment addresses your chief complaint, and the second/is often 15 min long / your underlying condition.


Surroundings : 

 My treatment room is quiet facing a beautiful mature garden.

The ceiling of my treatment room has kites from my travels around the world to add beauty and interest. 


Payment: I take cash, check, and cc. I charge 3% for the use of cc


Communication: You book your app . directly through my website.

All receipts are emailed to you, the quiet way to communicate with me is to text.
