Responsibility

• As licensed acupuncturists we do not provide primary care or diagnose medical conditions. However we can work with you to offer complimentary care for conditions that require a physician’s attention. If you have a serious medical condition, for example, an infection, growth or injury that won’t heal, we want you to see a primary care doctor (MD, DO, ND) too.
• Give us at least 12 hours notice if you need to cancel or we may charge a $20 missed appointment fee. You can cancel yourself online or leave a message. 
• Wear loose comfy clothes when possible so we can access the points!
• Before treatment get yourself ready  by choosing a recliner (with a smoothed out cover), taking off your shoes and socks, pushing up your sleeves and pants.
• Bring your own light covering, earplugs or headphones if having those will make you more comfortable.

Community Mindedness

• Please speak softly, as others may be resting or sleeping. Please completely silence your cell phone.
• Avoid wearing strong scents, perfumes, aftershave, body care/hair products, and detergents to the clinic as these may trigger allergic reactions and migraines for others.  
• Wear your shoes when walking around.
• Each of us helps to make the space a shared sanctuary.

Commitment to the process of healing

Acupuncture is a process. Every now and then, acupuncture will act like a “miracle cure”, and a person will have all of their symptoms disappear after only one treatment, but that is rare. Acupuncture works by stimulating the body’s own self-healing mechanisms; it is gentle and safe and usually gradual. Almost everybody who gets acupuncture will need a series of treatments to get good results, which is one big reason we came up with our sliding scale. If you don’t come in often enough or long enough, acupuncture probably won’t work well for you. Your acupuncturist will suggest a treatment plan to you, meaning, how many treatments we think you will need to get good results. Please let us know if you have any questions about your treatment plan, and please stick with it to the best of your ability.We
