Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to establish care first before getting a facial?

​

Answer: No, you can just book a facial appointment, they are completely separate from standard of care sessions

​

Do you take insurance?

​

Answer: No. Currently I am not in network with any insurance companies. I can provide you with a superbill. The way this works is that you pay up front for your session and then send the superbill as well as a receipt of services to your insurance company to get reimbursed

​

What do I do before my session?

​

Answer: Please eat something at least an hour before receiving acupuncture. The reason for this is that you can get light headed or faint if your blood sugar is too low.

​

How many sessions will I need?

​

Answer: This varies, with acute injury and pain I usually like to see people at least 2 times a week until the pain is gone. This can mean 2-10 sessions usually. For severe illness coming in 2 times a week is also recommended until you are feeling better. For chronic illness or palliative care I recommend coming in 1 time a week for 1-3 years, and then tapering from there. Acupuncture is cumulative so the more you come the faster you will see results.
