Located in the Heart of Regent Square
My home clinic is open on a part-time basis on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I hope to expand my hours in the future, but am currently limited by the need to manage my chronic illness symptoms.

Appointment Types:
Is care at New Moon Acupuncture right for you? Visit our “About” or book a free consult to learn more.
Free Consult (also available to returning patients)
Perfect for those new to acupuncture or those wanting to find if treatments at New Moon Acupuncture are right for you. These can be arranged to be by phone or in person, and can last up to 20 minutes.
New Patient Appointments
Can be scheduled as one 90min in-office appointment, or divided into a 30 minute virtual interview followed by a dedicated 60 minute acupuncture treatment. The interview involves plenty of time for discussing your background, your treatments moving forward, and any questions or concerns you may have. The treatment is a dedicated 60 minute treatment catered to your particular health goals.
Current Patient Appointments
Acupuncture Follow-up Treatment:
This is a 60 minute follow up visit of continuing care appropriate for most current patients. It includes an acupuncture treatment and may or may not include a small amount of manual modalities such as moxibustion or cupping. There will be a time for you to rest on the treatment table, and when required, follow up lifestyle or dietary recommendations will be given.
New Moon Specialty Treatment:
This 60 minute appointment type is reserved for particularly hands-on treatments involving a dedicated hour. This includes acupressure (no-needle) treatments, pelvic care treatments, or treatments requiring significant time spent cupping and/or moxibustion.
Is more better?
Many want to know if a more active treatment means more improvement, and as with just about everything in East Asian Medicine, it depends! Every body needs a different type of treatment. You may have already noticed that some of the treatments I give already vary week to week: sometimes you receive acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion...and other treatments I leave you to rest for an extended amount of time with just acupuncture. Most people will benefit from scheduling the Acupuncture Follow-up Treatments.
Telehealth Appointments
Telehealth Appointment (Schedule as a Free Consult)
This is a 20 minute + virtual appointment. Just like treatments, Telehealth appointments are a little different for everyone, personalized according to need. We’ll chat either by phone or video. I may demonstrate a technique or chat to figure out the best strategy for you right now. Your appointment will be followed up with a detailed email instructing you on an simple acupressure protocol, lifestyle recommendations, dietary recommendations, or moxibustion.
