Specialized in treatments for:


What to expect during your first visit

“According to Chinese philosophy, the body contains two opposing forces: yin and yang. When these forces are in balance, the body is healthy. Energy (Qi), flows like rivers along pathways, or meridians, throughout the body. This constant flow of energy keeps the yin and yang balanced. However, the flow of energy can sometimes be blocked, like water getting stuck behind a dam. A disruption in the flow of energy can lead to illness.

From a western perspective, acupuncture likely works by stimulating the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) to release chemicals called neurotransmitters and hormones.”

Before any acupuncture appointment, prepare by eating light and avoid caffeine. This is important because acupuncture stimulates various pressure points to rebalance your energy flow (Qi), which may cause weakness without proper sustenance, and caffeine acts as a stimulant.

During the first visit, we take a detailed medical history, extensive pulse analysis, gain a thorough understanding of your goals, and examine your system as a whole. Please bring any history of medications, diagnostic tests, MRIs, as this will help with a holistic assessment of your condition.

Olivia Wan-Mei Woo takes an interdisciplinary and comprehensive approach to your treatment that may include:

  • Acupuncture
  • Moxibustion
  • Heat Therapy
  • Electric Stimulation
  • Acupuressure
  • GuaSha
  • and an Herbal and Nutritional Consultation

Generally, a session may take a little more than an hour for the initial visit, and about 45 minutes for follow-ups.
