I receive cash, checks, all credit cards, health savings account cards, paypal, and venmo.

The time we schedule for your appointment is reserved just for you. If you do not show up or cancel with 24 hours or less notice, you are responsible for the full price of the missed appointment.

It’s greatly appreciated if I’m given 48 hours or more notice if you need to reschedule to allow enough time to offer it to someone else.

If this is your first appointment, please print out the health history and office policy forms below and bring them with you filled out. If you don’t have a printer, arrive at your scheduled time and you can fill them out here.

To allow the treatment to take hold, try to allow some time to gently integrate afterward. Hydrating and being kind with yourself as your body/being adjusts to the changes helps with this transition—gentle walks, healthy food, journaling, simple things.

The number of treatments needed will vary depending upon how long your symptoms have been present, your overall health, lifestyle, diet, and stress level.

Generally, the longer the symptoms have been present, the more treatments it will take to achieve lasting results. That said, people often begin to experience an overall sense of wellbeing early in the treatment.

I often recommend an initial course of 4-8 treatments once a week, at which time we will re-evaluate and space future treatments according to how they are holding between treatments.

For on-going maintenance and prevention, each person will find a rhythm that works for them whether that’s once a week, twice a month, once a month, each seasonal shift, or as needed.

I am not a contracted insurance provider, but if your insurance pays for out-of-network providers for acupuncture, I can send you a super bill to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

You will need to contact them ahead of time to find out.
