What do I need to do BEFORE, DURING and AFTER an acupuncture treatment?

  • Wear loose clothing. Avoid one-piece dresses, tight stockings, pants or shirts, etc. However, I have towels and appropriate draping available regardless…so no worries!
  • Better to eat something before a session and be well hydrated.
  • Please do not be under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
  • Just relax and enjoy. Please do not be afraid but always feel open to discuss any concerns or misgivings at any time before, during or after a session.
  • Try not to change or adjust your position abruptly during a session. Please inform me if you are uncomfortable in any way whatsoever.
  • The acupuncture session will continue to work after the treatment so try to be mindful and conscious of slower more methodical activity. Enjoy the peaceful grounding after-effects.
  • Dramatic and powerful results are often reported after the first treatment. Sometimes, immediate total or partial pain relief is reported. Perhaps other unrelated symptoms are alleviated. This relief may be permanent or return in various measures. Sometimes, there is no immediate relief and pain may diminish gradually over time. Regardless, you should expect to feel better and more connected to your body and its needs.
