Book Appointment

The first step is to book an appointment with Thrive Acupuncture. You can do this by visiting our booking page and finding a date a time that works best for you. This will require a valid credit card. We also provide the option for you to book by email or phone.

Intake & Health Assessment
–
During your first appointment, we will conduct a thorough health assessment. This includes a discussion of your medical history, current health concerns, lifestyle habits, and any medications or supplements you are currently taking. This is also when we discuss your health goals and what you hope to achieve. We may also check your pulse and look at your tongue, which are important diagnostic tools in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

Tailored Treatment
–
Based on your assessment and health goals, we will determine the best treatment for your needs. You will then be asked to undress and lay on the treatment bed. Please bring a pair of shorts and a tank top (if applicable) with you to your appointment. Acupuncture needles are then inserted, after which you will rest for 20- 30 minutes with them in. Depending on your main health concerns, other Traditional Chinese Medicin (TCM) modalities such as Cupping or Guasha may be used.

Follow-Up Care
–
After your initial treatment, we recommend allowing sufficient time for your body to heal. We will also provide lifestyle recommendations such as dietary changes or stress reduction techniques to help support your health goals. Acupuncture is a cumulative therapy, so regular treatments can provide long-term benefits for your overall health and wellness. Though it varies depending on the individual, you should see positive changes after the first 3 sessions, and more lasting changes in 6 – 10 sessions.

Andrea is wonderful. She is so thorough and helpful without being aggressive. She’s knowledgeable and can address any/all of your concerns with acupuncture. If it’s something beyond her expertise she will make suggestions that have helped me and my family tremendously. Her energy is positive and beautiful. I look forward to my appointments with her. The results are definitely not temporary!

Andrea is a kind and thoughtful practitioner. I went to her for acupuncture and cupping to relieve pain from a chronic back injury. She took a detailed history, provided excellent care, and gave me advice on ways to manage my pain in-between visits. I highly recommend Thrive Acupuncture for anyone who is looking for wholistic and compassionate care.

Andrea is exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, and friendly – I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my treatments with her. Her experience, especially with pregnancy, is obvious in her practice. You will always feel welcome and comfortable in her care.
