Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions answered.

What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a therapeutic technique rooted in holistic medicine, where fine needles are inserted into specific points on the body. It’s used to support the nervous system, relieve pain, improve circulation, and encourage the body’s natural healing processes.

Does acupuncture hurt?

Not really! Most people feel minimal sensation, if any. Some describe a brief pinch or a dull ache that quickly fades. Treatments are designed to be gentle and relaxing—you might even drift off during your session.

How many treatments will I need?

Every person is different. Some conditions respond quickly, while others may require ongoing care. We’ll evaluate your needs and create a plan that fits your health goals and schedule.

How do I get started?

Start by booking a Free Acupuncture Support Call—this is your initial assessment where we’ll discuss your health concerns, goals, and whether acupuncture is the right fit for you. From there, we’ll guide you in scheduling your first treatment session tailored to your needs.

Do you accept insurance?

We’re happy to provide a detailed receipt (superbill) that you can submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. Coverage varies, so it’s best to check with your provider beforehand.

Do you accept FSA or HSA payments?

Yes! You can use your FSA or HSA card for eligible acupuncture and wellness services, just like any other health-related expense.

What are your prices?

Our fees depend on the type and length of the session. For a full list of services and pricing, please visit our website or reach us out via call or email—we’re happy to walk you through it.

Do you do dry needling?

As a licensed acupuncturist, I have undergone extensive training in acupuncture techniques, including dry needling.
