Truly worth it...
Today, I had my first appointment with John who may be the most calming soul I've ever met. Upon entering the office, I was greeted by a very friendly face -- Mark. He checked me in, offered me a hot cup of tea and chatted about dogs until my appointment time. I mean, what more could you want while you wait? It was inviting, welcoming and relaxing!
My appointment started with an in-depth consultation. John asked me a series of questions to help better understand my reason for seeking acupuncture, as well as, answered all my questions about the practice and methods of acupuncture. I really appreciated this moment, because it allowed me as a patient to develop trust and to see how much John cared.
After the Q&A, I hopped onto the table for my initiation into the acupuncture world. I'll be honest.. I was nervous. Was it going to hurt? How far were the needles going to go into my skin? Suddenly, I had a ton of new questions about what was going to happen. Luckily, John explained everything as he worked.
As it turns out, I had nothing to worry about! John focused on three different areas during my appointment: my back, my feet and my head. Yes, my head! Wild, right? I had no idea you could have acupuncture done on your head, but you can and I did! Clearly, it was a really cool epiphany for me haha.
The acupuncture in all three spots did not hurt at all. In fact, by the end of it, I felt so relaxed and could not wait to book another appointment! read more
