Your First Acupuncture Treatment

Your first session will create some powerful openings and inspire a new sense of hope. You will obtain new, relevant information regarding your condition from a Chinese perspective, and practical suggestions you can implement at home to support your healing. I will recommend a course of treatment that will get your condition firmly on the road to healing, and you'll have a good sense of the direction we'll be taking together. It's likely that you'll receive your first Chinese herbal prescription.

Your first session will last up to 90 minutes. We'll spend time talking about your current condition, medical history, diet, exercise, and other lifestyle habits. I'll do a non-invasive physical exam, and then you will receive your first acupuncture treatment. I will prescribe a customized herbal formula for you, which you will receive 4-5 days later in the mail. Your initial treatment costs $120. Herbal formulas generally cost between $20-$40 per week.

Subsequent acupuncture treatments will last 45-60 minutes. Generally, they will be scheduled either once a week or twice monthly to guarantee optimal results. During these sessions we will also modify your herbal formula as needed. These sessions cost $80.

If you're trying to get pregnant...

As part of our work together you will chart your cycle each month until you become pregnant. Charting your cycle entails taking and recording your temperature each morning before you get out of bed, and recording other important pieces of information, as well. This isn't difficult or time consuming - it's just an extra minute before you get out of bed in the morning, and it will give me important information on changes in your cycle that demonstrate the progress we are making. A copy of a chart you can use is here.

If you're pregnant...

Some pregnancy symptoms, like morning sickness for instance, require several treatments a week for 1-4 weeks. If it is difficult to pay for several sessions a week at the time of service for sessions, contact me to discuss payment options. I'm sure we can find a way to make it work.

If you need help getting labor started...

Acupuncture is a powerful and effective way to initiate labor. Generally, labor will begin 3-72 hours after receiving treatment. If it does not, another treatment is recommended. Also, I can show your partner or caregiver points to massage at home to speed up the process.
