All acupuncture sessions are 60 minutes in length, with an in depth consultation preceding the treatment. During each appointment we will go over your chief concerns and all associated symptoms and discuss your goals for treatment. A 45 minute treatment will follow that will be highly individualized as pertaining to your needs and diagnosis. A typical treatment will consist of acupuncture, *cupping, gua sha, tui na (therapeutic massage), essential oils and energy work as necessary.
Classic acupuncture sessions include an optional 10 minutes of plastic suction cupping, if deemed beneficial for your treatment plan. The appointment fees for this session follows a sliding scale structure; between $120-175.
Acupuncture + fire cupping sessions include a 10 minute fire cupping and massage portion at the end of the treatment. The sliding scale for this appointment is between $150-200.
*Cupping is a powerful tool for removing blockages in the musculoskeletal layer. It uses suction as a means for lifting the skin and fascia into the cup itself so that fresh blood flows to the tissues underneath, allowing for optimal circulation and healing. Fire cupping uses the additional element of fire inside of a glass cup to create the suction. This adds further warming and detoxification benefit and the cups can slide across a greater area, covering more muscle groups and fascia along the way. Please be aware bruising (circular marks) following cupping is common and usually lasts 2-7 days depending on the degree of stagnation present.
Please note, cancellations require 24 hours advance notice or will be charged the full base fee of the appointment.
It is encouraged that you come to your appointment wearing loose, comfortable clothing and having eaten a light snack beforehand. Questions are also welcomed throughout the process, as dialogue and understanding are essential elements of self empowered healing.
Sessions are located at 95 Diamond Street
