What to Expect

Initial Consult

During your first session, you will share the health concerns you’d like to address. Our licensed acupuncturist will complete a thorough intake, reviewing your medical history, symptoms, and overall health picture. Based on this, you’ll receive your first acupuncture treatment. Needles are retained for approximately 20–35 minutes while you rest in a calm, comfortable setting.

Treatment Plan

Following your initial visit, a personalized treatment plan will be created based on your health goals, pulse and tongue diagnosis, and overall presentation. The number of recommended sessions will vary depending on your symptoms and how long they’ve been present. Our goal is to support long-term wellness through individualized, whole-body care

Our Treatment Toolkit

At Amber Wellness, our licensed acupuncturist offers a range of holistic therapies to support hormonal, reproductive, and whole-body health. Each treatment is tailored to your individual needs and guided by over 14 years of clinical experience in women’s health.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture uses ultra-fine, sterile needles to stimulate specific points on the body, supporting hormone regulation, pain relief, improved circulation, and nervous system balance. It is commonly used for fertility, menstrual health, pregnancy support, digestive conditions, and stress-related symptoms.

Abdominal Massage Therapy

Drawing on traditional healing methods, abdominal massage helps release stagnation, reduce pelvic congestion, and improve blood flow to the reproductive and digestive systems. This therapy can support conditions like painful periods, endometriosis, constipation, and pelvic tension.

Herbal Medicine

Our acupuncturist is also a board-certified herbalist with over 17 years of experience in herbal medicine formulation. Personalized herbal prescriptions are created based on your unique symptoms, tongue and pulse diagnosis, and overall constitution. These thoughtfully crafted formulas support menstrual health, fertility, digestion, mood, and immune function, offering a holistic and time-tested approach to healing.

Supplement Support

Supplement prescriptions are made based on your health history, lab results, and current concerns. Common focuses include hormone balance, egg quality, thyroid support, inflammation reduction, and nutrient repletion.

Chinese Nutritional Therapy

Dietary recommendations are customized to support your constitution, digestion, and health goals using Chinese Medicine principles. Nutrition is used as daily medicine to reduce inflammation, regulate cycles, and promote overall vitality.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping improves circulation, releases muscle tension, and supports detoxification. This therapy is often used alongside acupuncture to address back pain, stress, respiratory concerns, and stagnation.
