Services
I offer four primary private services at this time. Payment is due at time services are rendered. There is a cancellation policy of 24 hrs prior to appointment.
FULL TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE (TCM)
This is what many people think of as “acupuncture”, but in reality usually involves much more. A typical treatment consists of an traditional TCM evaluation, acupuncture, and depending on what I see is needed, may include cupping, gua sha, e-stim, or moxibustion, some tui na (Chinese massage) and kinesio-tape and dietary herbal prescription recommendation. I do not charge extra for these, I like to be able to use all my skills and training without my patients worrying about a-la carte pricing. If appropriate for each individual’s situation, I may make herbal prescription recommendations.
First time appointments are approximately 90 minutes for a new patient and 60-70 minutes for existing patient.
Chinese Herbal Medicine Consultation
This includes a consultation for Chinese Herbal Medicinal therapy only without acupuncture or any manual therapies. TCM Herbal therapies are highly individualized and require a comprehensive intake and discussion with patient. There are a wide variety of ways to take Chinese herbs to suit each patients’ needs- in traditional raw herb decoctions, alcohol-free tinctures, pills, capsules and granules. I also compound herbal medications, alcohol free tinctures, salves, and liniments. Cost of the TCM prescription not included.
ADDICTIONS/STRESS RELIEF LIMITED ACUPUNCTURE
This service primary involves ear acupuncture and a few needles, with the primary goal to help support the patient who are undergoing extreme stress, in trying to quit addictive substances/behaviors, and alleviate the withdrawal side effects. This is suitable for people trying to quit smoking, drinking, or using other addictive substances. Treatments are usually done in a chair, is acupuncture only and sold in packages of 6 treatments.
Chinese Dietary Therapy & Lifestyle Counseling
One of the pillars of health in TCM is “right eating”. There is much truth to “you are what you eat”! Chinese dietary therapy is tuned into the individuals’ particular constitutional presentation and works to help re-establish balance in the body, thus providing optimal health. This is not a fad diet, but an approach that has been used for nearly 5,000 years to help restore and keep people healthy in an affordable and sustainable way. This appointment can be done in person or by telehealth.
