Frequently Asked Questions

I see patients/clients 9-5 EST, M-Th, and 9-1 EST on Fridays. My acupuncture and free consultation availability can be found here, and is always up-to-date in real time. Please note that due to the complexities of scheduling and the limitations of scheduling software, my availability for any non-acupuncture appointments is not reflected on this calendar. You’ll need to call or email the clinic directly to book hypnotherapy or Spiritual Counseling appointments.

Acupuncture and hypnoacupuncture sessions need to be scheduled in person, but hypnotherapy and Spiritual Counseling appointments may all be scheduled either as in-person or as virtual appointments.

Virtual Hypnotherapy and Spiritual Counseling sessions are all through Zoom. You’ll receive an email with your Zoom link before your session.

Online free consultations for new patients and virtual Chinese Medicine consultations for established patients take place directly through my scheduling software; you’ll receive your video link in your appointment reminder email.

Remember that I have reserved your appointment time just for you - sometimes for weeks or even months in advance. Any appointments not canceled or rescheduled with more than 48 hours notice will be charged in full, except in the event you receive a positive COVID-19 test, in which case this fee will be waived.

Payment is due at the time of service, and a credit card is required to hold appointments. I also take a $100 deposit at the time of booking your first appointment, with the balance billed at your first visit. You are welcome to use an HSA/FSA card for these purposes. I process all payments through the card we have on file at the end of the day; if you would like to pay with something other than the card on file, please let me know during your visit. For virtual appointments you may pay by credit or debit card. For in office appointments you are welcome to pay using cash, check, or credit/debit.

Some plans offer acupuncture benefits, so it’s worth checking in with your insurance company about the specifics of your plan. If your plan covers acupuncture for the issues for which you are seeking treatment, I am happy to provide superbills (detailed coded invoices) for your visits so that you may seek reimbursement from your insurance provider. I can also accept FSA/HSA cards for payment. Payment to me will always be due in full at the time of your appointment.

The truth is that we can’t exactly explain how acupuncture works - not in a way that satisfies the typical Western mind and worldview. Scientists are still working toward a complete understanding of what’s happening in the body during and after an acupuncture treatment.

What we do know is that when we stimulate active acupuncture points - areas of decreased electrical resistance and increased conductance along established pathways in the body - we’re able to communicate with the body in a way that influences muscles, fascia, organs, and multi-level healing processes.

Measurable changes during acupuncture include:

-Regulation of the autonomic nervous system: positive regulation of blood pressure, skin temperature, sympathetic nerve activity in muscles, heart rate, and heart rate variability

-Regulation and production of neurotransmitters: increase of endogenous opioid peptides, serotonin, and dopamine

-Regulation of the immune system: increase of red and white blood cell counts, T-cell count, and humoral and cellular immunity, reduction in inflammation, and improved healing from infection

If you’re interested in understanding more, I highly recommend reading the book Energy Medicine, by Jill Blakeway. It’s one of the most accessible introductions to the field of energy medicine - and the place of acupuncture and acupuncturists, within it - that I’ve come across. An eminently insightful and satisfying read.

Acupuncture should never be painful, but it’s common to feel a variety of sensations over the course of a session – most notably in the first few moments after a needle is inserted. Everyone’s experience is different, but sensations may include a heaviness, a release, a twitch, a quick zing, a warmth, a coolness, or mild itching at the needle insertion site.

In fact, many patients experience deep relaxation during a treatment, which we lovingly refer to as an “acu-nap.” And it’s very common after a treatment to experience a heightened sense of wellbeing, clarity, and centeredness; these beneficial “side-effects” of acupuncture accompany almost any session, regardless of its specific focus.

This depends on a variety of factors, including the reasons you’re seeking acupuncture care.

Many of my patients come to me as part of a regular self-care or preventive-health-care regimen to support their overall vitality. If you’re like these folks, then monthly or as-needed appointments are generally sufficient. That said, plenty of “wellness” patients come in for sessions twice monthly - or even weekly - because they feel so much better when they do.

But while acupuncture excels at preventive and wellness care, most patients begin their acupuncture journey with a particular goal in mind - to ease migraines, eliminate PMS symptoms, or regulate their IBS, for example. In these cases, I typically recommend weekly or twice weekly visits at the outset of care. This is because acupuncture is cumulative, and its effects build more rapidly when treatments are closer together. We book a handful of visits in close succession because we want you to feel better as efficiently as possible.

Some people will experience big changes in just a session or two, others will see slow and steady improvements, over time. Where you’ll fall on this spectrum depends on a variety of factors including the length of time you’ve been experiencing your symptoms, your age and health history, and the ways in which your diet and lifestyle may be playing into your ongoing health concerns.

Whatever your health goals, we’ll discuss your options and create a plan together for you to reach them. The free new patient consultation is a great place to go over the particulars of your case.

Acupuncture is not a panacea, but it does stimulate your body’s innate healing intelligence, promote internal homeostasis, and regulate the nervous system - so my short answer to this question is that acupuncture can help with anything. Whatever ails you - physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual - it’s highly likely that regular acupuncture will help you feel better.

The longer answer is that acupuncture and Chinese medicine has an established record of clinical efficacy going back many centuries. A few years back the World Health Organization conducted a review of controlled clinical trials for acupuncture. Here’s their comprehensive list of the diseases, symptoms, or conditions for which acupuncture has proven effective, through said trials.

A quick overview of conditions wherein we know acupuncture can help:

-Issues related to being human in the current 21st century landscape: headaches, insomnia, stress, anxiety, depression, fatigue, back pain, life changes and transitions, quitting smoking, addiction recovery

-Issues related to reproductive health: infertility, morning sickness and pregnancy support, perinatal support, menstrual pain, PMS, PMDD, leukorrhea, PCOS, perimenopausal symptoms, yeast infections, BV

-Issues related to the digestive system: IBS, reflux, nausea, ulcers, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, constipation, diarrhea,

-Issues related to muscles, bones, joints, and nerves: joint aches and pains, muscle aches and pains, repetitive stress injuries, recovery from injury or surgery, sciatica, low back pain, osteoarthritis, numbness and tingling, dental pain, TMJ

-Autoimmune and neurobiological concerns: hypothyroid, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Graves disease, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Lyme disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia

-Bacterial and viral infections: common cold and flu, cough, sinus infection, herpes zoster

-Psycho-emotional health and integration: anxiety, depression, panic, malaise, overwhelm, and support to prepare for or integrate psycho-emotional-spiritual work undertaken in psychotherapy, shamanic work, or plant medicine ceremony

-And more: diabetes, hypertension, cancer support, asthma, psoriasis, eczema, kidney stones… the list goes on.

There are some issues that acupuncture and Chinese medicine can completely resolve and others that it can merely support, but very few wherein acupuncture is of no help, at all.

It’s also important to note that acupuncture is never intended as a replacement for appropriate Western medical diagnosis or treatment. What we’re after is the right intervention for the right condition and person at the right time. On a case by case basis, we’ll put together the care plan - and care team - appropriate to you and your individual health concerns.

Absolutely not! Acupuncture is unique in its ability to balance subtle energy shifts in the body before they manifest as symptoms or disease. In this way, acupuncture is true preventive medicine. Many people choose to receive acupuncture on a regular basis to enhance their health and vitality, to stay balanced as they manage day-to-day stressors, or to prevent recurrence of conditions they’ve had in the past and since resolved.

Yes! Acupuncture is absolutely safe during pregnancy and is effective for all kinds of issues that commonly arise during pregnancy.

Many people continue to receive acupuncture during pregnancy just like they did pre-pregnancy, and for the same reasons. Others begin acupuncture during pregnancy to manage the myriad new symptoms that may arise, including nausea and vomiting, blood pressure regulation, musculoskeletal pain, headaches and migraine, and digestive issues. And still others seek care toward the end of their pregnancy as they prepare for labor.

I typically recommend at least monthly visits during pregnancy to support circulation, sleep, and stress, or more often to manage any symptoms. At week 36, I recommend an increase to once weekly in preparation for labor.

Many birth workers will tell you that they see a noticeable difference in how labor and delivery progresses between people who haven’t had acupuncture and those who have. I encourage you to talk with your providers and see what they recommend!

Breathwork produces a wide range of experiences, and no two sessions are alike - not even for the same person. Over the years I’ve come to have full faith in the process, trusting that whatever shows up in a breathwork session is exactly what the breather needs. I encourage everyone I work with to cultivate a similar openness - our hearts really do know the way.

On the physical level, you may feel tingling, lightness, heaviness, or cramping of the limbs, face, or body. Long-held pain or tension may release, move, or even become temporarily more pronounced as your attention and energy are drawn to areas that are stuck. You may experience waves of heat or cold, and it’s not unusual to want a cover or throw off a blanket.

Emotionally, there are a whole range of experiences. Particularly at the start of a session, breathing can feel quite effortful, with pronounced feelings of resistance, irritation, frustration, or even anger. This typically passes over the course of just a few minutes as the body settles into the breathing pattern. Some people experience a profound break from their thinking mind during the breathing, while others may be inundated with creative ideas for all the projects they’ve been working on. Memories can surface. Crying or laughing is not unusual, and either one may be associated with overwhelming feelings of love, joy, gratitude, or connection, or may be purely a release of pent-up energy.

By the end of the session most people have gained some sort of release, insight, inspiration, vision, or healing. And after just a few minutes basking in the integration phase of the session, it’s typical to be saturated with a profound sense of restoration, peace, and connection.

And these are just a few examples. The more you practice, the more your internal world opens, expands, and transforms to meet you.

If you’re truly ready to change, breathwork can assist you on any (and every) level - physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It’s not magic, but it is an incredible tool for healing, insight, and personal development. “Ready to change” means you’re earnest and engaged, and that you’re paying attention to yourself and your life; you’re taking radical personal responsibility for who you are, what you want, and how you’re showing up in the world.

On the physical level the benefits of breathwork can look like:

• Decreased muscle tension

• Relief from chronic pain

• Improved digestion

• Lowered blood pressure

• Improved sleep

• Increased energy

• A stronger immune system

Benefits on the mental level include:

• A quieter mind

• Increased clarity of thought

• Improved memory and focus

• Increased creativity and access to inspiration

On the emotional level you may experience:

• Greater inner peace and calm

• An elevated mood

• More regular access to the experience of self-love

• A reduction or elimination of negative thought patterns

• A reduction or elimination of patterns of addictive behavior

And on the spiritual level the benefits could look like:

• The ability to trust your heart and know who you really are

• An increased ability to “speak your truth”

• Increased self-mastery

• Greater clarity on who you are and what you want, and an increased ability to shape your life and life path

• A stronger connection to Spirit / God / Love / The Universe / Something Greater Than Yourself

• Finding and staying on a path of personal development and transformation

• Making your visions, goals, and dreams a reality

These are just a few examples. If you really step in and do the work, it will continually rise up to meet you.

If you’re working toward change in your life, breathwork can be a beautiful complement to any other healing modality you may be utilizing: acupuncture, herbal medicine, psychotherapy, energy work, spiritual counseling, etc. As a somatic meditation practice, breathwork offers a different way of accessing and clearing whatever lies between you and a fuller experience of yourself and your life. As a self-guided experience (I hold the space, but you’re the one breathing), most people find it surprisingly empowering; feeling empowered in our lives is fundamental to feeling healthy, happy, and whole. And as a technique that supports you in both releasing and receiving more, it can allow your other healing treatments to penetrate more deeply, and change to accumulate more rapidly.

Breathwork is safe for most people and there are no known absolute contraindications. That said, it’s always appropriate to be discerning when embarking on a new practice. Some important considerations before engaging in breathwork:

• This style of breathwork is not currently recommended for people who are pregnant (unless you have already discussed it with you medical doctor), or for people with epilepsy, retinal detachment, glaucoma, high blood pressure not controlled by medication, cardiovascular disease including prior heart attack, family or personal history of aneurysm, strokes and neurological conditions, or severe osteoporosis. If you have received a diagnosis of asthma, you may practice breathwork if your inhaler is within reach during your practice.

• This style of breathwork is also not recommended for people who have a diagnosis of bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, or who have been hospitalized or sought out in-patient care for any psychiatric condition or mental health crisis during the past 10 years.

• If you’re working through a particularly challenging time in your life or with a new mental or physical health diagnosis, it is important that you be supported within a wider web of appropriate professional care. This may include a mental health therapist and/or medical doctor.

• It’s important to note that breathwork practice may lead to strong physical sensations and/or emotional releases, and that strong emotional releases can cause amnesia.

• And finally, many folks seek out breathwork as part of their process for working with trauma. If you are working with processing trauma, my recommendation is to start with a private session (as opposed to a group workshop) in order to have focused support as you explore this modality, how it feels, and what it might bring up for you in your body. It’s also important to be supported by a web of appropriate professional care, especially if you are new to exploring your history of trauma, PTSD, or CPTSD.

If you have any questions about the above or are feeling at all unsure if this practice is a fit for you at this time, please reach out and ask. I’m more than happy to hear from you and discuss possible best next steps in the context of your particular case.

Upon registering, you’ll receive a confirmation email with detailed information about how to prepare for the session and set up your space, and a zoom link.

Several days ahead of our meeting time I’ll send out additional information to invite reflection specific to the theme of the session (new moon, full moon, seasonal reflection, etc.). This is not a requirement - you can always just show up and breathe - but it does give you an opportunity to prepare a bit and make the most of your experience.

Once online together, we’ll start by connecting briefly as a group. Then I’ll share a few words around the theme for the session and provide basic breathing instructions.

From there, everyone gets comfortable, and we’ll breathe together to a curated soundtrack for about 45 minutes. When we’re done, some people may choose to stay in their restorative place for a longer period of time, while others may choose to come back fully into the room and join the group again for a final check-in. No matter what feels best to you, I encourage everyone to maintain connection to that deep inward focus and come back into the “outward” world very gently and slowly; give your experience the time and space to fully integrate.

I do ask that you keep your camera on at all times so that we can be present together in community, and so that I can track what’s happening for everyone in the session.

And while I always hope you can join us live, I do typically offer 30-day access to a video and/or audio recording of online sessions; this detail should be clear on the registration page for each specific workshop.

Once we’ve gathered together we’ll briefly connect as a group, and then I’ll share a few words around the theme for the session. (Seasonal events may have a longer “lecture” component. See each event registration page for more details.) We may do some brief partner sharing, and then I’ll provide basic breathing instructions.

From there, everyone gets comfortable, and we’ll breathe together to a curated soundtrack for about 45 minutes. When we’re done, we’ll slowly come back fully into the room and join the group again for a final check-in. I welcome any sharing, but first and foremost I encourage everyone to maintain a connection to that deep inward focus, and to come back into the “outward” world very gently and slowly; give your experience the time and space to fully integrate.

Keep in mind that we utilize multiple aromatics during in-person groups, including a variety of essential oils, sage, and sweetgrass. If you are strongly sensitive to smells or smoke, group in-person events may not be the best fit for you.

I hope you do; acupuncture, spiritual counseling, and one-on-one breathwork clients who commit to a home practice often create much bigger shifts in their lives in much shorter amounts of time.

The structure of a group session or a one-on-one can provide guidance and support as you’re learning the ins and outs of the practice, and the focused energy of a 1:1 and communal energy of a group event can mean those experiences are richer, more focused, or more intense. But a daily breathwork practice can change your life, and all you need is a place where you won’t be disturbed, and to lie down, close your eyes, and breathe.

Hypnotherapy uses imagery, verbal cues, and repetition to guide you into a state of deep relaxation and focused attention called a “trance” or, in more modern parlance, a “hypnotic state.”

We all drift through multiple states of awareness over the course of any given day, one of those being a trance state. Being absorbed in a book to the exclusion of other things around you - that’s a trance. Missing an exit on the highway because you’re lost in thought - that’s a trance. Or perhaps you’ve experienced or read about “flow” state or been “in the zone”- this too, is a trance: an altered state of consciousness where you’re so immersed in a given activity that your focus narrows and your sense of time shifts. A hypnotic state is not dissimilar. It’s a heightened state of relaxed attention where we’re able to bypass the typical barriers of the conscious mind. It’s a place where we’re much more receptive to new ideas and ways of being, and where we’re able to invest in new possibilities for ourselves that our conscious mind would typically shut down, well before they were able to take root.

If you’re struggling to shed a habit or behavior that’s no longer serving you, then at some point - probably a very long time ago - your subconscious mind perceived something about this habit or behavior as beneficial, even fundamental to your survival. Unfortunately, no amount of willpower or “reasoning” at the level of the conscious mind can override the strength of our subconscious programming. Hypnotherapy quiets the conscious mind and puts us in direct contact with the subconscious mind, where we’re able to change the story - our “programming” - at its source.

No, probably not. Hypnotherapy has nothing to do with the Hollywood image of the manipulative hypnotist who puts people into a trance and makes them do embarrassing things; that version of hypnotherapy is 100% fiction. In fact, my intention is the opposite: my hope for you is that you leave each session knowing yourself more fully, and feeling more personally empowered in your body, your choices, and your life.

When you are in a hypnotic state you are not sleeping, and you are not unconscious. You can cough, scratch, take a sip of water - you could even get up and leave at any point, if that’s what you wanted to do. Hypnosis is simply a state of deep relaxation coupled with heightened attention. You are fully in control of your body and mind throughout the session and you will remember everything when the session is over.

This depends on a variety of factors, including the reasons you’re seeking support, how fully you participate in the process, and how keen you are to make actual change in your life. (If you don’t truly want to make and sustain a change in your life, hypnosis can’t help you, because YOU are the one that’s ultimately in charge of your mind and what’s allowed in there.)

I generally recommend starting with 3-5 sessions, with at least the first three booked at weekly intervals. Your issue may not fully resolve within that window, but you should have a clear sense that something within you is shifting, and that you are benefitting from the work in some way.

It’s also true that many people feel measurable shifts after just a single session!! And sometimes phobias completely dissolve in a session or two!!! And yet even thought that’s an exciting prospect, I still caution against magical thinking - ie the expectation of (or chronic search for) seismic change with minimal time, attention, or effort. We all know that truly sustainable progress in any area of our lives is the result of consistency over time.

Hypnotherapy is best known for weight loss and smoking cessation, but the truth is that it has wide-reaching applications. It’s an incredible tool for reprogramming the mind, and can help you in any aspect of your life where you feel stuck. This includes (but is not limited to):

-Nervous habits like nail biting, hair pulling, or tics

-Fears and phobias like flying, heights, spiders, or stage fright

-Obsessive thinking

-Habit change - dropping old ones or instilling new ones

-Preparation for labor or childbirth

-Preparation for surgery or recovery from it

-Chemo support

-Issues with confidence and self-esteem

-Athletic performance and ability

-Issues around performance or performance anxiety such as speaking engagements, creative or artistic performances, examinations, and test-taking

-Memory, learning comprehension, retention, and focus

-Motivation and procrastination

-Digestive issues like IBS

-Reproductive issues like some types of unexplained infertility or amenorrhea

-Insomnia

-And of course, smoking and weight loss

Hypnotherapy is a safe, relaxing, and very powerful tool for accessing your subconscious mind in order to create physiological changes in your body and lasting changes in your thoughts, behaviors, and life.

In a word: synergy.

Acupuncture works via the body - we create change by stimulating physical acupuncture points along established pathways. Hypnotherapy works via the mind - we create change by quieting the conscious mind in order to upgrade our subconscious mental programming.

While the acupuncture treatment initiates physiological changes, the hypnotherapy shifts deep-seated beliefs. When appropriate, working with both modalities at the same time is likely to create deeper and faster shifts than either acupuncture or hypnotherapy would, alone.

So, do I recommend hypnoacupuncture to everybody? Not necessarily. Why not? Because it’s important that the treatment matches the issue at hand.

If you arrive at the clinic with a freshly sprained ankle, you need acupuncture, not hypnotherapy. If you’re trying to address your flight anxiety, you’ll benefit more from hypnotherapy or hypnoacupuncture than you would from a stand-alone acupuncture treatment. And for many other concerns, it’s important to investigate the issue more deeply before deciding what combination of acupuncture, herbs, diet, lifestyle, hypnotherapy, or spiritual counseling processes may best support you and the changes you’re after. This is one reason why I always encourage a free consultation prior to your first visit (you can book one of those here) - I want to understand your goals so I can match them with the appropriate therapies.

The goal of Depth Hypnosis Spiritual Counseling is to help people achieve meaningful, long-lasting transformation of body, mind, and spirit. It’s a big ask, but Depth Hypnosis - with its unique set of tools - is well suited to address a wide array of limiting beliefs, counterproductive patterns of behavior, and negative self-talk. Have a place in your life where you feel “stuck?” Spiritual Counseling can probably help. Want to simply know yourself better? It can probably help there, too.

Do you tell yourself stories about not being good enough or smart enough?

Is there a tape running in your head that says you’re unlovable?

Do you struggle with indecision, or with a lack of faith in the decisions you do make?

Are you a perfectionist or a workaholic, or do you feel trapped in a job you don’t want?

Do you know you want your personal or professional or romantic life to look differently, but you don’t know how or where to even begin making changes?

Do you show up the same predictable way in relationships that are important to you, even when you want to show up differently?

Do you get caught up in the emotion of the moment, only to regret your words or actions, later?

Do you struggle with anxiety, overwhelm, or panic attacks?

Do you feel low, tired, or depressed much of the time?

Do you feel trapped in your circumstances and fear there’s no way out?

Do you feel like your life is defined or constrained by traumas in your past?

Do you perseverate on fears, worries, or old hurts?

Do you have a defining event or period of time in your life from which you feel like you’ve never fully recovered, or that you’ve never been the same since that time?

Do you have mental or physical symptoms that have stumped a string of other providers?

Do you have a diagnosis of a mental or physical illness that isn’t responding fully to other therapies, or that you sense has a psycho-emotional factor that hasn’t been addressed?

Any of these concerns - and more - make you a great candidate for this work. All you need are three things:

-a desire to know yourself

-a desire for change

-a willingness to engage with the process.

Most of the unwanted patterns of behavior that make us feel stuck in our lives are rooted in our subconscious mind - artifacts of our childhoods, when we were highly impressionable and lacked the developmental maturity for (or access to) more conscious coping strategies. They may also be sourced from traumas - small or large, acute or on-going. Some traumas leave a strong energetic imprint on us in our moment of acute vulnerability - an accident, a fright or shock, an assault, for example, from which we feel like we never recovered or were never the same. Others can drain us, over time - a chronic illness, a belittling boss, or a hyper-critical parent. It’s no wonder people have difficulty shifting patterns that have developed in these ways; their roots run deep.

In a session, I will guide you into a meditation to quiet your active mind so you can access what’s underneath all the noise. With your attention below the chatter, you’ll have a much easier time connecting with your ever-present inner wisdom and inner guidance. You’ll be able to see your current circumstances in a new light, and you’ll gain fresh insight into the thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that have you feeling stuck. Still in meditation, still in direct contact with the subconscious mind, we’ll reinforce those new insights, reprogram old thinking, and clear energetic imprints that are no longer serving you.

We’ll do all of this while you are deeply relaxed, fully awake, and always in control of what’s unfolding in the session. When you emerge from the meditation, you’ll be clear, present, and newly empowered in your body and your life.

I typically recommend committing to 3-5 sessions at the outset of our work together, scheduled at weekly or biweekly intervals. Less than 3 visits and you’ve just barely gotten started, and within 5 visits you should feel that the work is becoming valuable, supportive, or compelling to you in some way. From there, you can engage with the work at whatever pace feels best to you, and I’m always happy to advise on an individual basis, based on your specific needs and goals.

Some people schedule weekly appointments - they are tired of the status quo, eager for change, and want to keep their foot on the gas of their personal evolution.

Some people schedule visits every other week, or maybe once a month. They’re on a clear path of growth and development and they value the insights and the possibilities this work opens up for them, but they benefit from more time in between sessions to fully metabolize and integrate all the information from one session before reaching out for another.

And others still don’t actually keep regularly scheduled sessions; they know the value of the work in their lives, and they recognize when they feel stuck or in need of a boost or a fresh perspective. They reach out, as needed.

The truth is that aspects of them are very much interchangeable. All Depth Hypnosis Spiritual Counseling work involves a degree of hypnotherapy, and it’s not uncommon to regularly do full hypnotherapy sessions in the context of on-going Spiritual Counseling sessions.

The distinction is that Depth Hypnosis Spiritual Counseling includes many tools in addition to hypnotherapy, and requires several sessions of foundational work at the outset of our work together. I’ll make recommendations on the best place for you to start during our free consultation, but ultimately these processes are flexible and interchangeable.
