The lovely Kemlyn B. gifted me with her free acupuncture session for a friend so off we went on a journey to get poked in order to get relaxed!\n\nFor each new client there is an online intake form you can fill out where you list your basic information, medical history and what ailments you wish to have treated for your appointment. The room is relaxing and peaceful but set up more like an upscale version of a community acupuncture room, with comfortable zero gravity chairs that have an automated massage option and privacy curtains in between chairs. \n\nI had never done acupuncture before so I didn't really know what to expect. My acupuncturist was Kiya. She was very nice and skilled with the fine art of the medical needle. For most of the acupuncture areas I barely felt anything but for a couple of the more troublesome spots I felt a small pinch that went away after a second. One spot did have some recurring mild throbbing that lessened after Kiya patted my arm a few times.\n\nWhile you sit in the super comfortable chair, practicing the art of being a human pincushion, you can glance at the soothing TV screens showing ultra high def images of the beach or other serene nature scenes, or you may simply close your eyes and meditate on the finer aspects of being a temporary porcupine. \n\nAfter the treatment was over my ear did gush some blood after a needle was taken out. Drip, drip, dribble... It was quickly mopped up with some towel and the bleeding soon went away after that initial needle withdrawal. Let's just say don't wear your Sunday best to an acupuncture session. Luckily none got on my shirt!\n\nEveryone here was very friendly and when we were done with your appointment the lovely front desk person made us a tea of our choice. There were about 3-4 choices of tea when I was here and you can have it iced or hot. The tea I had was a cool calm and refreshing beverage.\n\nThe normal cost is $59 for a walk in session, with discounts for signing up on a monthly plan. I'd love to come back again but due to location which is far from where I live I may have to put future appointments on hold for now. If you live in the area though it's a good choice for pain relief therapy, or for even lowering high blood pressure and treating allergies."^^ . . "24"^^ . "19"^^ . . .
