What to Expect

Private Treatment Room

During each acupuncture treatment session, you may receive tui na (medical massage), cupping, herbal prescription, nutrition and/or lifestyle recommendations in addition to your acupuncture treatment.

The acupuncturist will determine the best treatment for your specific condition after evaluating your detailed history and having gained an understanding of your specific needs.  An initial acupuncture session consists of a health history intake, diagnosis, treatment plan and treatment.  You will have the opportunity to ask questions and will receive feedback and recommendations on how to make the most of your treatments.

Your initial visit is 75 to 90 minutes and follow up appointments are 60 minutes in length. Call 510-333-0695 or email carolynmayo@gmail.com for a free consultation or to book a treatment session.

Before Your Visit

It is advised to have a light meal or snack before you arrive.  If possible, wear or bring loose-fitting clothes that can be rolled up to your elbows and knees.
