What to Expect During an Acupuncture Session

Your visit begins with a thorough conversation about your health history, symptoms, and goals. Treatments use thin, sterile needles placed at specific points to support circulation, regulate the nervous system, and balance energy flow.

You remain in control at all times, needles are placed with consent, and adjustments are always available.

I provide a trauma-informed approach rooted in LGBTQ+ affirming and gender-inclusive care. My acupuncture treatments are evidence-informed and tailored to support hormones, mental health, and pain through personalized treatment plans.

How does Acupuncture Work?

Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body that influence the nervous system, endocrine function, and inflammatory pathways, all of which are well-documented in modern research. When a fine, sterile needle is inserted, it triggers a local tissue response that signals the brain to release endorphins, regulate cortisol, and modulate neurotransmitter activity. This is why acupuncture is particularly effective for conditions rooted in nervous system dysregulation — including chronic stress, anxiety, burnout, hormonal imbalances, and mood disorders like PMDD.
