WHAT TO EXPECT
|
First Appointment - 1 1/2 hours
Health & wellbeing review plus initial treatment. - You will receive a full hour and a half of Kate's undivided attention and care. In addition to discussing your chief complaint(s), she will ask you about your lifestyle, diet, habits, hobbies and more. This helps her to develop a treatment plan specific to your individual needs. - Treatment usually starts with 'tapping for Aggressive Energy'. This involves superficial insertion of needles in acupuncture points on the back. The needles are retained for up to 40 mins to enable the body to release any Aggressive Energy the body may have held on to due to trauma or stress. Ongoing Appointments - 45 - 60 mins.
Evaluation plus treatment. |
Kate recommends committing to 3 - 5 sessions. Many people feel better after the first treatment but acupuncture is accumulative so there is value in seeking weekly / biweekly acupuncture at the beginning. Many people continue to come monthly for health and wellbeing maintenance.
Typical treatments include 5 -9 acupuncture points - needles are usually inserted turned and removed. At the West Village location treatment may also include moxibustion and cupping. |
