The initial consultation is an essential part of starting remote acupuncture treatment. Conducted via video call, this session allows for collecting vital information about the patient’s health and medical history to gain a clear understanding of their condition and customize the treatment plan.

Following the initial assessment, key elements include the patient’s date of birth (DOB) to identify energetic code and recognizing patterns of imbalance or disharmony in the body’s energy (Qi) and meridian channels. This plan may also integrate dietary suggestions, lifestyle adjustments, and other holistic methods to enhance the body’s natural healing abilities.

A guided video session is an essential first step in receiving remote acupuncture (RA) treatment. During this session, I’ll provide guidance on setting up the environment—covering lighting, temperature, and ambiance—to help create a relaxing and supportive space for the patient. Each RA session lasts 29 minutes, though the initial session is extended to 60 minutes. This first treatment is always conducted over a video call, allowing me to give real-time instructions. Afterward, sessions can continue via video or even during the patient’s sleep.
