FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Generally, for cash patients, I charge $100 for an initial visit and $70 for followup visits. I offer package deals as well: 15% off 5 visits or 20% off 10 visits.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes! Acupuncturists are required to do continuing education. We are required to complete at least 50 hours every 2 years. I often like to focus my continuing education on specific health conditions that interest me or different styles of acupuncture that I want to incorporate into my practice.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I wrote a paper in college comparing Chinese herbs to herbs used in Belize, Central America. While comparing the two was much harder than I anticipated, the research sparked my interest in Chinese Medicine and I found I had an affinity for it; the philosophy made sense to me. About a year later, I decided to try acupuncture. I didn't know what to expect and was amazed at how much better I felt both physically and emotionally after receiving acupuncture and taking herbs.
