Initial Acupuncture Session
This comprehensive first appointment is designed to understand not just what hurts, but why—and what your body is asking for in order to heal.
Your initial acupuncture session includes an in-depth consultation exploring your health history, current concerns, lifestyle patterns, and wellness goals. We'll explore movement patterns, areas of restriction, and the possible root imbalances contributing to your current challenge. Then you'll receive your first acupuncture treatment, carefully tailored to address both immediate relief and long-term healing.
You'll leave with a personalized treatment plan, realistic timeline for your recovery, and deeper understanding of what your body is communicating. Most people experience noticeable shifts in pain, sleep quality, or energy levels after this first session.
Perfect for those new to acupuncture in San Marcos, or anyone seeking natural treatment for chronic pain, injury recovery, stress management, or enhanced mind-body awareness.

New Client Foundation Package
3 session series
Commit to your healing journey with this introductory package designed to give your body the consistent care it needs to create lasting change.
This package includes your comprehensive Initial Session (90 minutes) plus two Return Sessions (60 minutes each)—a total value of $400, offered at $330 for new clients ready to invest in their wellbeing.
Why three sessions? Acupuncture works cumulatively. While many people experience immediate relief, the most profound and sustainable results emerge when we address deeper patterns over multiple treatments. Three sessions allow us to move beyond symptom management and begin transforming the root imbalances keeping you stuck. This is particularly important for chronic pain, overuse injuries, and stress-related conditions.
This package is ideal for active adults, those managing chronic conditions, or anyone new to acupuncture who wants to experience the full potential of Chinese Medicine. Sessions are then recommended to be scheduled once per week for 3 weeks.
***Package expires after 60 days of purchase. For New Inner Alchemy Source clients only.

Return Acupuncture Session
Each follow-up acupuncture appointment builds on the foundation established in your previous sessions, addressing deeper patterns as your body continues to heal and rebalance.
Your return session includes check-in dialogue to track your progress since the last treatment, assessment of any changes or new developments, and acupuncture treatment refined to meet your evolving needs. As we work together over time, treatments become increasingly precise and personalized to your unique healing journey.
Return sessions are essential for addressing chronic conditions, overuse injuries, and stress-related challenges that require cumulative care. While you may experience relief after a single treatment, profound and lasting transformation typically emerges over a series of sessions as we address root imbalances—not just surface symptoms.
Recommended frequency varies based on your condition and current wellness goals.
