Acupuncture is comprehensive healthcare that treats the whole self—from the root to the leaf

Acupuncture: What to Expect

Acupuncture corrects disharmony throughout the self, from root to leaf. In each restorative session, Devin will address the acute condition that brought you in, as well as the underlying causes.

A session with Devin always begins with a conversation. She will want to know: What are the challenges you face? How do you feel in your day-to-day life? Besides overcoming the immediate obstacle, what do you ultimately hope to achieve? This first conversation will likely be longer and more involved than in subsequent meetings, after a plan of treatment has been formulated.

Since your comfort is paramount to the healing process, the acupuncture treatment is always performed in a peaceful and nurturing space. Special consideration such as temperature, various pillows and music are all employed to maximize each individual's experience.  

The needles are incredibly fine, and pass through the skin easily. As Devin finds your energetic path, you may experience a new sensation. Some describe it as a hum or vibration. Deep relaxation and equanimity usually follow.

As part of a holistic program of care, Devin may recommend supplements or herbal medicines, as well as changes to your diet.    

Please allow 90 minutes for each restorative treatment.
