Before Your Visit

A few simple things can help you feel comfortable:

• Make Sure to Eat → It’s best to have some food in your system beforehand. Even a few bites is better than nothing.

• Clothing → You’ll have privacy to undress down to (bra and) underwear and rest under a sheet and blanket, similar to a massage. If you’d prefer to stay clothed, wear something loose and easy to roll up or pull down so I can reach points on chest, entire back, upper arms and upper legs. I also keep extra sheets and drapes on hand so you’ll always feel covered and at ease.

• Does it hurt? → Most people feel little to no discomfort. When qi is stuck and the needle creates energetic space, people will feel a distinct pinch or a warm/tingly sensation that fades quickly.

• Will I bleed or bruise? → Very occasionally there may be a tiny drop of blood or a small bruise, but it’s rare and harmless.

• Is it safe?→ Yes — I use sterile, single-use needles and follow the highest safety standards laid out by the national governing body.

• What will I feel during treatment? → Many people feel deeply relaxed, sometimes even drifting into sleep. Some notice gentle sensations like warmth, heaviness, or tingling as the energy shifts.

• What will I feel after treatment?→ You may feel rested, lighter, or more energized. Sometimes there’s a day or two of adjustment as your body rebalances — this is normal.

• Can I drive/work/exercise afterward?→ Yes, most people go about their day as usual. You may want to give yourself some space afterward to notice the effects, as qi takes 24 hours to circulate.

• Questions Welcome → If you’re ever unsure, just ask. I’ll guide you through what to expect.
