Initial Consultation: The acupuncturist will conduct a detailed interview about your health history, lifestyle, and specific concerns or symptoms. They may ask about your sleep, digestion, stress levels, and other aspects of your health.

Treatment Plan: Based on the consultation and diagnosis, the acupuncturist will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
