What are your safety protocols?

---

As an acupuncturist, I firmly maintain industry best practices for sterility and safety. In the age of COVID, these practices extend to include the following:

• masks are worn at all times by practitioner and patient
• all touch points and therapeutic surfaces are sanitized between patients
• patients are requested to wash their hands before the start of their session
• increased ventilation and HEPA air filters are standard

Further, I have increased the buffer time between patients to further ventilate the office.

How does Clinical Bodywork help injury?

---

I offer a holistic approach to injury rehabilitation, rather than a band-aid. It’s like this: Injuries create physical stresses in the body. In an attempt to avoid pain, the body makes compensations in function, gait, and posture which can cause further issues. An Injury resulting from sudden impact, trauma, or requiring surgery will be processed in the nervous system as well. The emotional stress of managing pain takes a toll on sleep, digestion, metabolism, and more! My bodywork effectively unwinds physical tension, increases circulation, relieves pain, and re-educates the neuro-muscular pathways for better alignment and function while resetting the nervous system into a mode of healing and deep restoration.

I see you take insurance for acupuncture. Do you also take it for Clinical Bodywork?

---

I work out of network with the following insurances:

• Anthem Blue Cross
• United Healthcare
• Kaiser (w/ supplement)
• Blue Cross/Shield FEP)

Most insurance plans have limited coverage for manual therapy (massage/bodywork), however, some coverage may be provided in conjunction with acupuncture. If you’d like to pursue combination treatments (acupuncture + bodywork), schedule your appointment and then click this link to verify your insurance. I will receive your verification and we’ll discuss your coverage at your appointment.

What are the benefits of doing a large package versus coming just once?

---

Our bodies are in a state of constant change: breaking down wastes and rebuilding healthy tissues. Even an ailment that appeared 'overnight' has likely been in the making for some time, given that we are wired to compensate and manage our imbalances until the body sends an undeniable signal (pain! discomfort!). For lasting results, the process needed to unwind holding patterns and uncover the myriad contributions to the current state of dis-ease is best addressed over successive sessions.
