If you’ve never experienced acupuncture before, it’s natural to feel curious or unsure about what to expect. An acupuncture session is not about fixing or forcing the body, but about listening, regulating, and gently guiding it back into balance. From the initial conversation to the quiet rest on the treatment table, each step is designed to support your nervous system and create space for healing to unfold naturally.
