What to Expect - First I will meet with you to determine your specific needs. Together, we will review your medical history and discuss what you want to achieve by seeking treatment. Treatment frequency is determined on an individual basis, as each patient has a different situation. Microfine “hair thin” needles are placed in the body to balance your natural energy or “Qi”. Depending on your treatment, the needles are left in the body from as few as 10 seconds to 30 minutes. I have been specially trained in the art of traditional Chinese Medicine (Acupuncture as well as Electro-Acupuncture, Chinese Tuina massage, Cupping, GuaSha, Moxibustion, Chinese herbs and Qigong).
