Be as relaxed and comfortable as possible
We recommend you wear loose, comfortable clothing and to eat a light meal beforehand, so you're not overly full. It is also important to stay hydrated and to avoid consuming caffeine or alcohol before your appointment.
PARKING and HOW TO FIND US It is the same building as the Carlmont Medical Center, across the street from the Carlmont Village Shopping Center. ​ There is a parking lot in the rear/west side of the building in addition to street parking. ​ Please note we are around the corner from Salon Elysian and directly adjacent to the Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
During your treatment
Physical and Mental Wellness
We will discuss your reasons for coming in, your overall health, and any specific goals for treatment you may have. Depending on your condition, acupuncture needles, heat treatment, cupping, etc. may be used on different parts of your body. If you have questions, please feel free to ask! We aim to keep you as comfortable not only physically, but mentally as well. Needles may be retained up to 30 minutes.
Post-visit recommendations
Restorative Health
Please try to relax and avoid strenuous activities for the remainder of the day. Depending on your occupation, you may be fine to return to work, but please ask for specifics after your treatment. Keep your body warm and avoid cold drinks and caffeine. Your mind and body will feel restored!
