Appointment Information & Rates

When You Arrive

Front Door - Please text or call 510-545-6895 and we will come to let you in.

Parking - The parking lot is open to all patients. If you will be leaving the clinic after dark, park near or on the street for more abundant light.

Restrooms - located just down the hallway on the left. We recommend using the restroom before every treatment.

How do I prepare for my appointment?

After booking, please fill out new patient information in your online account. Eat a light meal and skip caffeine before treatment. Wear loose comfortable clothing or bring a pair of shorts and loose top to change into.



As you are getting ready in the treatment room, we recommend turning your cell phone to silent or airplane mode for treatment.

Does a treatment include "all the things" or only acupuncture?

Acupuncturists in California are trained in multiple types of treatments, which could be included in your session if they are helpful for your Chinese medicinal diagnosis. Not all treatment modalities will be used for every person.

If cupping is indicated to be helpful for your diagnosis, then we include cupping at the beginning or end of your acupuncture treatment that day. If infrared light therapy would help you, we add that on during your treatment. Each of these modalities are options and would not be the right treatment for every person.

Each treatment is tailored to you based on factors like your latest symptoms, your pulse, where in the cycle you are, or what else is going on in your body.

The modalities include cupping, giving herbal medicine in capsules, granules (powdered), and tincture forms, using tools on the acupuncture points without inserting a needle, electric stimulation of needles or directly on skin, using moxa, and more.

Late Arrival & Cancellation Policy

Your appointment time is reserved just for you. If you need to change or cancel your appointment, please do so with 24 hours notice. Patients who provide less than 24 hours notice, miss their appointment, or arrive late to their appointment will be charged a late cancellation fee equal to the full cost of their appointment.

If you have been in close contact with anyone who has tested positive for Covid-19 or are experiencing cold/flu symptoms, please call or email our office.
