First Visit

We recommend printing and filling out forms before you arrive for your appointment. These forms provide a window into your health history, lifestyle, challenges, and goals. You’ll also find instructions for your first visit (when to arrive, what to wear, what to do before and after your appointment, etc.). We realize paperwork may seem tedious, but it can help you achieve the best results from your acupuncture experience.

When you arrive for your appointment, you’ll meet with Evelynne Toth, One Earth’s founder and sole practitioner. You’ll discuss any pain, discomfort, or stress that are affecting your quality of life, treatment you may have received, and any life experiences that may be contributing to how you feel. After your discussion with Evelynne, she’ll take you to a soft, comfortable recliner in One Earth’s Community Room.

In Eastern Medicine, there’s always a scientific diagnosis. Evelynne will observe your tongue’s color, coat, shape, and texture and feel your wrist pulse in multiple positions. Your tongue and pulse, along with your health history, serve as a diagnostic roadmap to determine where pain or stress is blocking the flow of Qi in your body. Evelynne will then explain the diagnosis and proposed treatment, which are unique for each individual.

As a community acupuncture practice, we treat patients in a shared space. You will not disrobe. Based on your diagnosis and personalized treatment plan, needles as wide as a human hair are painlessly inserted along specific passageways from the knees to feet, elbows to fingers, and/or head and ears. The goal of acupuncture is to achieve balance and harmony throughout the body while directing healing to the areas of the body that need it.

Once needles are removed, you’ll have time to relax before you leave the treatment area. On your way out, you’ll stop at the office and pay for your visit. There is a flat fee of $65 for your first visit. For all follow-up visits, you pay on a sliding scale of $30-$60. Pay what you can with no questions asked and no income verification. We want you to focus on healing instead of worrying about whether you can afford acupuncture.

Acupuncture works best when you commit to a long-term, consistent treatment plan. Although most people come to One Earth seeking relief from physical, mental, or emotional pain, we encourage all patients to continue with acupuncture to maintain balance and learn how to stay healthy. Eastern Medicine focuses on proactively preventing pain and disease rather than waiting to seek help after something bad happens.
