Thank you for choosing Jade & Cinnabar. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward lasting health and well-being. The following information will help you prepare for your initial visit and know what to expect.
Getting Started
Jade & Cinnabar’s hours are by appointment only. I see one patient at a time and dedicate each session entirely to that individual, ensuring that every patient receives my full attention and the highest quality of care. New patients are welcome to submit an appointment request or reach me by text or phone at (973) 476-2865. I always do my best to accommodate your needs and schedule and to see you as soon as possible.
How to Prepare
To get the most out of your initial visit, please complete the online new patient forms with as much detail as possible at least 24 hours before your appointment. This allows me to review your health history in advance prior to our session. On the day of your visit, please arrive having eaten a light meal. Avoid coming on an empty stomach or immediately after a heavy one. Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your arms and legs, and bring a list of any current medications or supplements. Feel free to arrive with any questions or concerns you would like to address.
Your Initial Visit
Your initial visit begins with a comprehensive intake, during which I take time to understand your health history, current concerns, and overall constitution. This conversation is an essential part of the process. The more I understand about you as a whole person, the more effectively I can tailor your care. The session will also include your first acupuncture treatment, and may incorporate herbal therapy or dietary and lifestyle guidance as appropriate.
After Your Session
Following your initial treatment, you may feel deeply relaxed, pleasantly tired, or unusually energized. All of these are normal responses as your body begins to adjust. Some patients notice improvement after a single session, while others experience gradual progress over several visits. Every person responds differently, and treatment is adjusted accordingly. I will discuss a recommended treatment plan with you based on your individual needs and goals, and will continue to monitor and refine your care as we move forward together.
Many frequently asked questions can be found on our website under the FAQ section. If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to reach out by text or phone. It is a pleasure to welcome you to my practice, and I look forward to meeting and caring for you.
