What to Expect

Every Five Element (5E) acupuncture session will be uniquely designed for you and your goals.  Treatments take place by appointment only in my private studio located in the Marigny neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana.  

​

Getting Started

This is a unique process so I like to start with a FREE 20 minute consultation so you can ask your questions while getting a feel for the 5E process.  Many people choose to consult by phone but an office visit can be arranged if desired.  Click below to book your FREE consultation today.

 

The Journey Begins

The first Five Element  treatment begins with a thorough diagnostic intake conversation followed by a clearing session using acupuncture and cranio-sacral massage. These first few treatments can have a profound effect and are unique to 5E medicine.  One patient once told me  "anyone who does 5E does so with a purpose".  This is true of me as your practitioner and it should also be true for you.

 

Early treatments focus on clearing the body of toxins at the level of the spirit, mind and body, in that order.They can be likened to the weeding a gardener does to prepare a flower bed for planting.

 Depending on the nature of your imbalance and your response to each treatment there will be between 2 to 5 clearing sessions required.

​

Maintaining Balance

Once the clearing goals have been achieved the focus changes to building your reserves.  Maintenance treatments are like the planting and caring for the seeds of health and balance in your life.  You will determine for yourself how often you need a session to help you maintain your well-being and balance.

 

Five Element acupuncture developed over centuries by watching nature and recognizing the patterns thereof reflected in the lives of man.  By re-establishing our innate connection to this harmony we can live our lives to the fullest.  All treatments combine the use of needles with massage techniques including acupressure, Shiatsu, Thai yoga, Tuina, deep-tissue and cranio-sacral therapy.
