Welcome to Aligned Wellness Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a medicine rooted in balance and connection. It’s not just suppression of symptoms, but support for your whole system.

At Aligned Wellness, sessions are intentionally unhurried and thoughtfully guided. This practice is designed for people who want to participate in their healing and carry tools home that support their body, mind, and nervous system between visits.

Many of my patients are thoughtful, capable individuals who may feel stretched thin or out of balance. They are often the ones holding a lot together, physically, emotionally, or both, and are ready for steadiness, clarity, and a return to themselves.

Our work is collaborative. Acupuncture supports the nervous system and restores communication in the body, helping shift patterns that have been building over time. But the real change often happens when you begin to trust your body again and bring that awareness into your daily life.

You will find grounded care, honest conversation, and practical tools here, from breathwork and lifestyle guidance to mindful movement or meditation practices, that extend the benefits of your treatment into everyday life.

If you are seeking a slower, intentional partnership in your wellness, you’ve found the right place.

Initial Consultation & Acupuncture Treatment

Your first visit is 75–90 minutes and includes:

  • A comprehensive health intake

  • Personalized treatment planning

  • Acupuncture + supportive therapies (when appropriate, e-stim, cupping, massage, or heat)

  • Guidance on self-care practices you can use at home

Follow-up Care

Follow-up sessions (60-75 minutes) continue your care with acupuncture and tailored adjustments to help you maintain balance and progress over time.

Your Experience in the Treatment Room

You’ll rest in a calm, dimly lit space with soft music while needles are in place. This is your time to pause, regulate, and reset, not just physically, but mentally.

People often leave feeling deeply relaxed or pleasantly energized. The effects may be immediate for some and gently accumulative for others.

Why This Matters

Healing is not just what happens on the table. It continues in the rhythm of your life, in how you breathe, how you rest, and how you show up for yourself.

Here, you will be supported in developing practices that help you feel grounded and resilient between sessions.

Conditions Often Supported

While acupuncture can be beneficial for many concerns, common areas of focus include:

  • Stress, anxiety & nervous system regulation

  • Sleep disturbances

  • Chronic tension, discomfort, or pain

  • Headaches & migraines

  • Digestive disturbances

  • Hormonal shifts

  • Fertility, Pre & Post-Natal Support

But we don’t just look at one symptom. We look at how your whole system is functioning and adapting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect on the first visit?

Your first visit is scheduled for 90 minutes. This gives us plenty of time to discuss your health goals and provide your initial treatment.

During the consultation, you will be asked several questions about your main concerns as well as your overall health. You’ll also have time to ask any questions you may have.

After accessing your wellness goals, the treatment will begin. This will include acupuncture, and depending on your needs, may also include electrical stimulation, cupping, massage or gua sha. Every person is unique, so your treatment plan will be tailored specifically to you.

The acupuncture needles are typically retained for about 30 minutes while you rest in a quiet, dimly lit room with soft music playing. This is an opportunity to relax and reset.

How do I prepare?

On the day of your appointment:

  • Arrive with time to spare so you don’t feel rushed.

  • Wear loose, comfortable clothing so we can easily access commonly used acupuncture points on your arms and legs.

  • Eat lightly beforehand. Avoid coming on an empty stomach. Having a small snack can help prevent dizziness after the treatment.

These simple steps will help you feel relaxed and ready for your session.

What can I expect after the treatment?

Most patients will notice some degree of relief following their session. This may last anywhere from a few hours to several days. Your response often depends on the nature of your condition and how long it has been present.

In general, people leave their treatment feeling both deeply relaxed or pleasantly energized.

Is acupuncture safe?

Yes. Acupuncture is a very safe therapy with no harmful side effects, and it will not interfere with any medical treatment you may already be receiving. On rare occasions, patients may experience mild, temporary effects such as slight bruising at the needle site or brief light-headedness.

Treatments can always be adjusted to match your comfort level.

 

Are the needles clean?

Yes. All acupuncture needles are clean, sterile, and used only once. After removal, they are immediately disposed of in a medical sharps container to ensure complete safety.

Does acupuncture hurt?

Most people describe acupuncture as virtually painless. You may feel a quick, slight prick upon insertion, followed by sensations that can range from nothing at all, to mild tingling, gentle achiness, or even subtle pulsations in areas away from the needle site. These sensations typically fade once the needles are removed.

Acupuncture needles are extremely thin, much smaller than standard hypodermic needles. They are solid (not hollow), do not draw blood, and are designed for comfort.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments varies depending on the nature, severity, and duration of your condition. Some issues respond quickly and may be resolved in just a few sessions, while more chronic concerns often require ongoing care over time.

Progress is also influenced by your overall lifestyle. When combined with healthy changes, acupuncture can be especially effective in creating lasting improvements.

Will insurance cover my visit?

I’m happy to verify your insurance benefits for you. In, addition, acupuncture is an eligible service for HSA and FSA payments.
