Questions
Before your first visit
Does acupuncture hurt?

I'm only here for the season. Is that enough time?
Yes. At your free consultation Barbara builds a plan around your arrival and departure dates, and can show you simple acupressure points to use when you go home.
Do you accept insurance?
Barbara is a VA Community Care provider for eligible veterans. Ask during your consultation about other plans and payment options.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your condition and goals. You will get a clear recommendation at your free consultation, with no obligation.
