Initial Visit

Acupuncture
Ideally, initial appointments run 90 minutes, but may be abbreviated depending on scheduling.

Follow-up visits run approximately 60 minutes.

If you ordinarily brush or scrape your tongue, please do not do so prior to your first (or any) acupuncture visit–the quality of tongue coating is an important part of diagnosis in Chinese medicine.

It is optimal to be neither too full nor too empty for acupuncture treatment; if you’ve not eaten recently, it may be helpful to have a snack of some kind before your session.

Please avoid alcohol, cannabis, or other non-prescribed mood-altering substances for a minimum of 12 hours prior to your appointment.

Parking
You are welcome to park in any spaces marked with a ‘Spring Wind’ placard, if available.  However, please note that other spaces in the parking area are not available for our use; parking in non-Spring Wind spaces may result in towing.  Metered street parking is generally available in the immediate vicinity, in the event no spaces are available in our lot.
