Initial Consultation + Acupuncture Treatment (90 min.)—$145

Follow-up Acupuncture Treatment (60 min.)—$90

Follow-up Acupuncture Front/Back Treatment Add-On (30 min.)—$45

Acupuncture is the insertion of sterile, single-use filiform needles into the body to achieve balance or homeostasis and stimulate the body’s own natural healing response. Acupuncture points are chosen based on Chinese medicine principles and the patient’s symptoms, presentation, and health goals.

Much like acupuncture, dry needling is the insertion of sterile, single-use filiform needles into the body to aid in the release of muscle tension and trigger points to relieve acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain and accelerate the healing process. The treatment process is identical to acupuncture treatment and is scheduled as such.

Initial Consultation + Herbal Medicine Prescription (45 min.)—$80

Follow-up Herbal Consultation (30min.)—$65

Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine consists of the use of plants, animal products, and minerals combined in multi-herb formulas to help treat various health conditions, such as body pain, depression, anxiety, insomnia, poor digestion, seasonal allergies, common colds, etc. Chinese Herbal Medicine can come in tablets, capsules, granules, tinctures, tea-pills, or as a decoction of raw herbs that is drunk as a tea. The delivery method of the herbs can be selected based on patient preference and ease of ingestion.

Included in Acupuncture Treatment Plan if Applicable

In Chinese medicine food is medicine. According to a Chinese proverb, 'He that takes medicine and neglects diet, wastes the skills of the physician.’ As part of the acupuncture treatment, dietary recommendations may be suggested to add to the therapeutic process. These recommendations are tailored to each individual and based on their health condition to ensure the best possible treatment outcome.

Cupping-only Treatment (30 min.)—$65

Cupping Add-On to Acupuncture Treatment—$15

A vacuum is created by inserting a flame inside a glass cup which is placed on the skin over soft tissue areas that hold tension, trigger points, or pain. Cupping can be used alone or in conjunction with acupuncture or dry needling to boost its therapeutic effect. Cupping can leave marks on the skin after the cup has been removed that can take up to a week to fade. These marks are normal and part of the therapeutic effect.

Gua Sha Add-On to Acupuncture Treatment—$15

Gua sha is the therapeutic scraping of the skin to release tension and pain. In the process, purple or red spots known as petechiae or sha will appear on the skin. Again, these marks are normal and part of the therapeutic process and will fade quickly over time.

Acupuncture + 30-Min. Massage (90 min)—$145

Massage Add-On to Acupuncture Treatment—$20

The manipulation of soft tissue and fascia to promote relaxation, reduce muscle tension, and improve range of motion and mobility of the body. The massage techniques that I use are an integration of Chinese medical massage, Tui Na, and Western therapeutic massage. Deep tissue techniques are used sparingly and acupuncture may be recommended instead for challenging areas.

30-min.—$75 | 60-min.—$100

Craniosacral Add-On to Acupuncture Treatment—$20

Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle practice working with the body to release deep tension and pain utilizing simple holding techniques that manipulate the joints in the cranium, parts of the pelvis, the spine, other joints in the body, and fascial tissue.

CST is similar to Reiki in many ways. Patients feel supported and rejuvenated after both types of treatments. The difference between the two practices is Reiki utilizes sending universal energy to the patient to promote healing and relaxation, while CST works with the patient’s own energy to release blockages in energy flow in the body to support healing.

30-min.—$75 | 60-min.—$100

Reiki Add-On to Acupuncture Treatment—$20

A Reiki session consists of placing the hands on certain areas of the body in a certain order channeling the universal energy that is in all living things to the patient. Balancing the chakras, or seven energy areas of the body, can be incorporated into the treatment as well, but it is not required.

Patients usually feel calm, relaxed, and supported after a Reiki treatment. Reiki is done fully clothed and does not interfere with other treatment modalities or health care treatments. Reiki can be a nice add-on service to a massage or acupuncture treatment.

Aromatherapy Add-On—FREE

Much like Chinese herbs, essential oils have healing properties in Chinese medicine. Inhaling or applying essential oils to certain acupuncture points can enhance the therapeutic effect of acupuncture. A select offering of essential oils including peppermint, lavender, grapefruit, wild orange, clary sage, and ginger are available to complement acupuncture treatments. These oils can help with headaches, menstrual cramps, anxiety, IBS, nausea, pain, hot flashes, and more.
