Frequently Asked Questions

We encourage you to bring any questions you may have to your initial visit as well as copies of recent lab tests, basal body temperature charts, menstrual cycle history, supplement and medication lists, and your IVF calendar if applicable.
Please wear loose-fitted, comfortable clothing and eat a light snack within an hour of your appointment. We kindly request that you do not bring food into our clinic and that you refrain from any stimulant, sedative, or cannabis use prior to your appointment.
We ask that all patients complete our intake forms prior to the first appointment. A link will be sent to you upon booking. Please bring the completed forms to your first appointment. If it’s not possible to complete the forms prior to your appointment, please arrive 15 minutes early. -
We value our patient relationships and always make it a priority to take the time to listen to you and learn your history, concerns, and goals. During this process a trusted relationship is formed and much of this begins at your first visit. For couples trying to conceive, partners are welcome to attend the initial visit to better understand the process should they choose.

We use very fine, single-use, sterilized, stainless-steel needles to gently stimulate specific acupuncture points on the body to balance the body's meridians (pathways of vital qi, blood and nutrients). Treatments may be performed face-up, face-down, sitting upright, or lying on your side depending on the condition(s) treated. If beneficial, we may incorporate additional therapies such as electrical stimulation, cupping, guasha or moxibustion. Reproductive abdominal massage or herbal medicine may be recommended if suitable.

Typically, you can expect to feel very relaxed, centered, and grounded after your treatment. However, every individual responds differently and we encourage active communication between the practitioner and patient before, during and after the treatment to ensure maximum comfort and relaxation. Most of our patients report feeling happier, calmer, more positive, hopeful, focused, and better able to enjoy a good night's sleep after their treatment. These beneficial side-effects often last several days and the more regular and consistent you are with your care, the more progress you will make toward your goal.

Please respect our 24 hour cancellation policy. This is in place to ensure appointment availability for all patients desiring care. If you are unable to make a scheduled appointment, please let us know as soon as possible to avoid a late cancellation or missed appointment charge.
