What to Expect
Our session together takes place in a quiet intimate space that allows for only one patient at a time. This time is dedicated to you. We'll create a customized treatment for your unique state of being, using a range of Chinese medicinal and modern wellness therapies. Acupuncture, lymphatic drainage, microcurrent stimulation and other modalities including aromatheraphy, gua sha, cupping and acupressure may be used. Herbs may also be paired with acupuncture to enhance your treatment and help you restore your body's natural ability to heal itself.

The Intake
I Strive to Know You Inside And Out
The intake starts with the patient forms right after you book your session. After that, we'll use the start of your first visit to answer any additional questions and apply several methods from my training as a Doctor of Chinese Medicine to further assess your wellbeing and possible root issues.
The Plan
You will leave your first visit with a clear plan forward
We will work together to create your treatment plan to maximize both effectiveness and time. After your first treatment, you will have a clear idea of how many sessions you will have, a customized herbal formula (if appropriate), nutritional and lifestyle advice and a realistic assessment of how I can help you.

How I work
I work undistracted to provide concierge integrative care with meaningful results to help you feel & look better in your body
"I sought acupuncture treatments with Dr. Catherine to detoxify, and reset my body. After a series of sessions I feel much more balanced and thrilled to have found her!"

Some Questions You Might Have
After two or three treatments, most patients feel substantially better. Some people feel better right away, while other people's results take longer. This can depend on the patient's age or how severe or seemingly protracted the condition is.
Lymphatic drainage and detoxification has an immediate effect. Right after the session, you will see and feel the treatment results. However, the fluid will continue to drain around 24 to 48 hours post-session.
I treat my patients how I would like to be treated, so that means needle insertions are very gentle. Can it hurt? It's possible, about 1 in 1000 needles I insert are uncomfortable for my clients. That said, there’s a chance of bruising with Facial Rejuvenation treatments. If you are on blood thinners, please contact your doctor before booking a session.

Appointments canceled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours' notice will incur a fee equal to 100% of the service total.
We do not process insurance in-house; however, we are happy to provide you with a receipt that has the necessary coding for you to submit to your provider. We recommend checking with your insurance company to see if you are covered for acupuncture and, if so, what specific conditions your insurance company covers acupuncture for.
My practice is by appointment only. This allows me to focus 100% of my energy on one patient at a time without distraction. That said, I often have a waitlist for cancellations. Sign up for the waitlist if the date you are interested in is unavailable.

I was very skeptical of the general idea of acupuncture, but honestly, Catherine is amazing and has totally converted me. I have to admit I still do not understand how it works at all, but it definitely works. Highly, highly recommended.

There are few professionals I feel are brilliant enough for patient and family member referrals. Dr. Catherine is the first name I discuss when sending anyone for acupuncture.
