Embodied Wellness: Acupuncture Services
Getting Started
Initial Acupuncture Consultation
Your first session includes a comprehensive intake where we explore your symptoms, stress patterns, sleep, and overall wellness goals. From there, we create a personalized treatment plan that may include individual sessions for ongoing acupuncture care,, structured programs, or integrated care with your therapist.
Ongoing Acupuncture Care
Flexible follow-up sessions based on your needs
After your initial consultation, you don’t have to commit to a structured program. Many clients choose to continue with acupuncture on a flexible, session-by-session basis.
These follow-up sessions are tailored to your current needs and can support a wide range of concerns, including:
-
Stress and anxiety
-
Sleep difficulties
-
Chronic tension or pain
-
Hormonal or digestive concerns

General wellness and preventative care
Your acupuncturist will adjust each session based on how your body is responding and what you’re experiencing week to week.

Embodied Regulation: Acupuncture add on
Acupuncture support during your therapy session to help regulate your nervous system in real time.
Integrative acupuncture is an optional add-on service that can be included as part of your therapy session to support your body’s ability to regulate stress and emotion in real time.
At the beginning of your session, your acupuncturist places a small number of gentle, sterile needles in specific calming points in the ear. These remain in place while you meet with your therapist and are removed at the end of the session.
This process is quick, minimally invasive, and does not interrupt your therapy.
Why Add Acupuncture to Therapy?
Sometimes, even when you're ready to do the work emotionally, your body can feel overwhelmed, reactive, or shut down.
This add-on helps your nervous system feel safer and more regulated, making it easier to:
-
Stay present during difficult conversations
-
Reduce anxiety or emotional overwhelm
-
Process trauma more effectively
-
Feel more grounded and less reactive
Who This Is For
This add-on may be recommended if you:
-
Feel overwhelmed or anxious during sessions
-
Experience physical symptoms like tight chest, shallow breathing, or tension
-
Tend to shut down or dissociate
-
Are working through trauma or high-stress experiences
Your therapist and acupuncturist will collaborate to determine if this is a good fit for you.
