Should I eat first?

How long should I plan for?
The consultation is 30 minutes. Add about an hour if you stay for treatment.

FAQ
First-visit questions
What happens at the first consultation?
It's a 30-minute visit ($49.99). Dr. Kristina reviews your health history and main concern, does a Traditional Chinese Medicine assessment and an AcuGraph scan, then explains what she recommends — how often, which treatments, food and lifestyle suggestions, and exact pricing.
How long is an acupuncture appointment?
The Initial Consultation is 30 minutes. Acupuncture visits are about 60 minutes. If you stay for treatment after your consultation, plan on roughly an extra hour.
What should I wear?
Loose, comfortable clothing that rolls up above your elbows and knees. You'll always be appropriately covered during treatment.
Should I eat before acupuncture?
Yes — have a light meal or snack 1–2 hours before. Coming in very hungry can make some people feel lightheaded.
Does acupuncture hurt?
Acupuncture needles are hair-thin. Most people feel a brief pinch or a dull, heavy feeling at the point, then relax. Dr. Kristina checks in throughout, and you can pause at any time.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book an Initial Consultation directly. If you're under a doctor's care for your concern, bring a list of diagnoses and medications.
What is the cancellation policy?
Please give 24 hours notice. Late cancellations or missed visits are $20 for a new-patient consultation and 100% of the treatment cost for treatment visits.
Do you take insurance?
Seven Medicine is primarily self-pay and doesn't bill insurance directly. HSA/FSA payments may be accepted, and we can provide an itemized receipt you may submit to your insurance plan. Reimbursement depends on your individual plan.
