Your First Visit: Planting the Seeds for Healing

Welcome to Soul Sprout. We are so glad you’re here. Your initial visit is a special time dedicated entirely to understanding the unique landscape of your health. Because we take a deep dive into your story, this first session will be longer than your follow-up appointments.
Getting to Know You
We’ll begin by sitting down together to discuss your health history, your primary concerns, and the intentions you shared in your online forms. At Soul Sprout, we believe that everything is connected. We want to hear it all—the big things, the small details, and everything in between.
To gain a complete picture of your internal harmony, we will also:
Check your pulse: A gentle way to listen to your body’s rhythms.
Observe your tongue: A traditional window into your "internal weather."
Creating Your Custom Path
In Chinese Medicine, we don’t just treat symptoms; we look for the underlying pattern of imbalance that is unique to you. By gathering these pieces of the puzzle, we can devise a personalized treatment plan designed to help you flourish. We’ll always hold space to answer your questions and ensure you feel empowered and informed about your care.
The Acupuncture Experience
During your treatment, we use hair-thin, sterile needles at specific points to gently shift your body back into balance. Most patients describe the sensation as a tiny pinch or a quick mosquito bite. Once the needles are in place, you’ll enjoy 20–30 minutes of deep rest. This is your time to let go, breathe, and allow your body’s natural wisdom to do the work.
Preparing for Your Visit
To make your experience as restful as possible:
Wear comfortable, loose clothing that allows easy access to your arms and legs.
Enjoy a light snack or meal beforehand so you aren't arriving on an empty stomach.
