For your first visit, please arrive 15-20 minutes early in order to fill out a few forms and get oriented to the space. Your acupuncturist will meet with you privately before your first treatment to discuss any concerns. The acupuncturist will also take your pulses, look at your tongue and ask a few questions. She will then take you to the community room to find a comfortable recliner, place your needles, and leave you to rest. Your treatment may last anywhere from 20 minutes to one hour depending on your needs.

The soothing atmosphere in the community room exists because patients create it by relaxing together. This kind of collective stillness is a rare and precious thing. Please help us to maintain that by speaking in whispers and refrain from socializing while in the room. Part of the success of this clinic lies in patients learning "the routine" and taking responsibility for appointments. Re-scheduling and making payment happens at the front desk before each treatment, so you can relax and enjoy treatment. Please take all personal belongings with you into the common room, and turn off your cell phone.
