Individual Acupuncture Treatment

$130 first visit, $85 subsequent visits

Initial intake. During your first visit, which can take up to 2 hours, Elena will gather information about your past and present health conditions and life circumstances. An oriental physical examination will be conducted including; palpating acupuncture meridians and abdominal area, listening to your pulse, and performing a tongue diagnosis, followed by needling treatment.

Subsequent visits will last about an hour. The number of treatments required varies according to individual needs. Generally, you will need to start coming for treatment once per week for 6-8 weeks. As you start to feel better, we might stretch the following visits in time accordingly to your progress. When you become overall balanced and healthy, we recommend you keep seeing Elena at least five times per year following the seasonal changes of nature. This "tune-up" helps you adjust to nature's transformation and maintain healthy body-mind-spirit all year long.
