Traditional Acupuncture: A Holistic Path to Healing

 

Rooted in over 2,500 years of practice, Traditional Acupuncture involves the gentle insertion of fine needles into the skin to stimulate the nervous system. This process helps relax the body and activate the brain, unlocking its natural ability to heal and rebalance.

 

Your first appointment includes a comprehensive consultation where we explore your health history, lifestyle, diet, and emotional wellbeing. Understanding a patient’s needs is like assembling a complex jigsaw puzzle—each piece of information helps build a clearer picture of your overall health. We consider current and past health issues, emotional patterns, interpersonal dynamics, personal preferences, and how past experiences may have influenced the body’s function. The more you share, the more complete the picture becomes. However, just like any puzzle, it may take time to fully come together. Through ongoing sessions, we work collaboratively to tailor treatments that offer the greatest benefit. The consultation is a safe, confidential space where nothing is forced and everything is respected. Initial appointments last 90 minutes and include your first acupuncture treatment.

 

Follow-up sessions are 45 minutes and begin with a 15-minute check-in to assess your current emotional and physical state. Because wellbeing can shift from day to day, we recommend booking a 90-minute session if you feel more time is needed to discuss new concerns.

 

Five Element Acupuncture is most effective when treatments are received regularly, especially at the beginning. The body may carry built-up emotional residue and internal imbalances from past illness, diet, alcohol, or medication, which can take time and varied treatment approaches to clear. To support your healing journey, we offer your fifth treatment free of charge when all five sessions are booked within a three-month period.
