The soothing atmosphere in our clinic exists because all of our patients create it by relaxing together. We appreciate everyone’s presence! This kind of collective stillness is a rare and precious thing in our rushed and busy society. Maintaining this reservoir of calm requires that no one talk very much in the clinic space.

Part of our success is that our patients learn the “routine” and take on a lot of responsibility for the appointments. Please re-schedule and pay for your treatments at the front desk or online BEFORE your appointment so you can thoroughly relax. Please refrain from wearing perfume or strong scents. Please talk in hushed tones. Please wear loose clothing, and pull up your sleeves and pant legs when you situate yourself in a recliner. Please take all personal belongings (bags, shoes, etc.) with you back into the treatment room. And of course, please turn off your cell phone when you enter the clinic.

You should eat a light meal before coming for an acupuncture treatment and should wear comfortable clothes that can be pushed up to the knees and elbow. You should be prepared to refrain from rigorous exercise for at least two hours before and after treatment.

What should I do during and after my treatment?
This time has been set-aside solely for you. Relax and allow the healing process to occur. Feel free to ask questions or voice any concerns which arise during the treatment. Trust that all information is confidential. The treatment does not end when the needles are removed. Acupuncture has initiated a change within the body, and now it is your right and responsibility to ensure that these positive patterns are fostered. If possible, take some time to relax directly after your treatment. We recommend no strenuous activity for at least 2 hours after a treatment.
