On your first visit I'll ask you a whole bunch of questions about past medical history and current health and lifestyle issues. I'll do a brief physical exam, including pulse and tongue diagnosis, muscle testing and any other diagnostic procedures relevant to your specific health situation. After formulating a diagnosis within the context of TCM theory, we will formulate a treatment plan and set health and wellness goals for you.

The treatment modalities we will use to reach those goals may include Acupuncture, Tui-Na , Cupping , Electrostimulation , Herbs and other nutritional tools including Flower Essences, Homeopathic Remedies and vitamins/ supplements.

During Acupuncture treatment it is common to feel deeply relaxed and simultaneously energized as we proceed to enhance the body's energy levels and improve circulation of energy, blood and lymphatic fluids. Acupuncture is also known to improve brain chemistry and promote states of well-being via the neurotransmitters.

The first visit generally takes about an hour or more and you may be subjected to Enya or various other New-Age music selections of my choosing.
