Frequently asked questions.
What does acupuncture feel like?
Acupuncture is generally very gentle. Most people feel little to no discomfort when needles are inserted — you may feel a slight tingling, warmth, or heaviness. Many patients find treatments deeply relaxing and often rest during the session.
How many sessions will I need?
That depends on your individual needs and what you’re coming in for. Some people find relief after just a few treatments, while others benefit from ongoing support. We'll discuss a personalized plan that aligns with your health goals.
Is acupuncture safe?
Yes. When performed by a registered acupuncturist, acupuncture is a very safe treatment with minimal side effects. All needles are single-use, sterile, and disposed of properly.
What conditions do you support?
I focus on women’s health and mental wellness, including:
Stress, anxiety, emotional regulation
Menstrual cycle issues
Fertility support
Pregnancy care (including breech presentation & labor induction)
Perimenopause and menopause
General wellness and pain relief
And more
Do you use other techniques besides acupuncture?
Yes. Based on your needs, I may integrate cupping, guasha, moxa, or e-stim to support circulation, release tension, and enhance treatment results. We’ll always discuss what’s best for your body.
What can I expect after a session?
Most people feel relaxed, grounded, or lighter after a treatment. Occasionally, you might feel tired or mildly sore, especially if cupping or guasha was used. These sensations typically pass quickly. Rest, hydrate, and be gentle with yourself after your session.
Do I need to prepare before my appointment?
Eat a light meal beforehand and stay hydrated. Try to avoid heavy exertion or stress immediately before your session if possible.
Are you currently taking new patients?
Yes. While I am currently working as an independent contractor, you can find a link to book at the top of the page. I am available to answer any questions you may have about care and treatment options.
