You are brand new to acupuncture and not sure what to expect
You are dealing with a number of chronic conditions, and utilizing acupuncture as a part of your health support “tool kit,” but may need extra time to check in with your practitioner each visit
You may have some trauma history, and/or benefit from using part of your treatment to talk about the healing process with your practitioner in a safe, supportive space
Your practitioner recommends this due to the need for added modalities such as moxibustion, cupping, or “face-down” back treatments.
