Eastern Medicine Treatments

  • An initial visit is approximately 1½ hours, which includes the initial intake assessment.
  • Subsequent visits are approximately one hour.
  • I do not charge by time but by treatment.
  • Nor do I charge by modality of treatment, each treatment is a single cost regardless of whether it is acupuncture, herbal prescription or massage.
  • Herbal formulas can be purchased at a Chinese Herbal Pharmacy, or can be mailed to you.
  • Home treatments and in-office treatments are both available.
  • Please do not hesitate to inquire about sliding scale if cost is a barrier; I strive to make my services as accessible as possible.

Western Medicine Treatments

  • Each visit is individualized to the needs of the patient and their doctor’s orders.
  • The client needs an order from their doctor for any nursing procedure or treatment before I can work with them.
  • The doctor should be sure to specify the frequency and duration of medically necessary treatments.
