About your first treatment

Don’t come on an empty stomach. Receiving an acupuncture treatment on an empty stomach may leave you feeling dizzy and lightheaded. There is no need to ring the doorbell. Just come on in and make yourself at home. If I am not there to greet you right away that means that I am finishing up with a patient and will be with you shortly. It is fine to park in the driveway, but please do not block any other cars in the driveway. It is acceptable and safe to park on the street. If there is snow, our driveway may not be completely snow-free. We have a gravel driveway and snow removal is hard for this reason. Please watch your step and wear appropriate shoes.
