If you have never had acupuncture, the first visit can feel like a leap. Here is what actually happens at Full Lotus Health, step by step, so nothing surprises you.
Before you arrive
Book a time online, then fill out the new patient intake form. Roozbeh reviews it before you come in, so your visit can begin with what matters most to you. Please keep health details off text and email. The intake form is the place for them.
The consultation
Your first session starts with a conversation about your health history, your lifestyle, and what you hope to change. From that, a treatment plan is mapped out for you. An initial acupuncture treatment is 60 minutes.
The needles
Ultra-fine, sterile needles are placed gently at chosen points. Most people feel only a slight sensation, or nothing at all.
The rest
Once the needles are in, you rest for 20 to 30 minutes in a quiet room. This stillness is part of the treatment, and many people find it the most restorative part of the visit.
Afterward
The visit ends with herbal recommendations if they suit you, and often a moment in the tea space. There is no rush to leave.
