What to Expect at Treatment​

At your first appointment, please arrive about 10 minutes early to fill out paperwork. Then we will head to the treatment room to discuss your case. I will give you a brief overview of treatment philosophies and what we will do during treatment after you describe your alement. I will have you lie on the treatment table to check your chakras and determine what pattern will be used. A chakra is an energetic disc/orb/wheel that lies in your electromagnetics and transmits and acquires energy from the cosmos to your body and is said to hold information from past life experiences. In my practice, the concern does not surround which chakra may be balanced or unbalanced at time of treatment, but how many are balanced. That number will lead me into what treatment pattern to use. Once the pattern has been established, I will excuse myself from the room in order to offer privacy while one prepares for acupuncture. Often, one will have to remove their shirt for acupuncture, especially if they are face down. If you are face-up, I will not require anyone to remove their shirt. Bring a pair of shorts or loose-fitting pants. Female clients can bring a tank top or camisole. I have shorts at the clinic if anyone needs them. First, the Esoteric Acupuncture, or Meridian style acupuncture pattern will be placed on your body. Then, I will focus on any local pain areas, such as, low back, neck, shoulder, hips, knees, ankles, etc. Once the needles are in place, you will lay on the table for the remainder of the treatment. Most people start to feel really relaxed, many fall asleep, but if you are feeling nervous I will do my best to place you at ease. If I have time and upon client’s request, I may be able to stay in the room for the later portion of the treatment. After about 30 to 40 minutes, I will come back in the room to remove the needles, and then leave so you can get dressed. During the acupuncture treatment, I may use an Esoteric Pattern, a Meridian style pattern with or without electrical stimulation, needle trigger points, motor points, all to help you gain the most relief available during your session. For the majority of treatments, I use Esoteric Acupuncture because it has such a profound effect on pain, has a detoxifying effect, and revives the spirit.
