GENERAL
Jump to questions about:
Do you have online booking?
Yes we do! See the top right of the page for the Book Now button. You may also use our online scheduling platform to see all past and upcoming appointments, as well as cancel appointments yourself up to 24 hours before.
What are your hours?
Our front desk is open Monday through Friday, 9 am to 5 pm. We are also open Saturdays from 9 am to 3 pm. Our front desk staff usually take a lunch break between 12-1. We have practitioners in 7 days a week depending on the modality!
I am here and the door is locked, what do I do?!
For everyone's safety, we keep the door locked outside of our front door desk hours. Your practitioner should be down to let you in at your set appointment time.
Will I be allowed to show up late?
We have a 15 minute late policy for appointments. We do ask that our patients be mindful of the appointment times because it impacts the flow and capacity of your appointment to start late. We want to provide YOU with the best care possible, and that is why appointment duration is set for specific lengths. Beyond the 15 minute mark the appointment will be marked as missed and charged as a no show.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes we do! We are in network with most major insurance companies for all of our services. Please see this chart for details.
What services do you have?
We offer acupuncture, microneedling, cupping, massage therapy, physical therapy, naturopathic medicine, and mental health counseling for individuals, couples, and groups.
Do you have ADA Accessibility?
Yes, we are proud to offer a fully ADA accessible first floor. We have a ramp to the front door, as well as a gravel parking lot in the back. A lot of our sessions are scheduled for an upstairs room, so if you need accommodations made, please call our front desk so we make sure you are scheduled on the first floor.

TREATMENT
What clothing should I wear for my session?
-
Acupuncture & Masssage: you will be welcome to undress under a draping sheet, so your clothing will not matter.
​​
-
Rolfing: comfortable, non-restrictive clothing that allows movement and access to skin, like loose athletic shorts and a sports bra/tank top, avoiding tight or thick fabrics, as the practitioner needs to see and feel the body's structure and movement, often requiring you to get on and off the table.
​
-
PT: clothing comfortable for movement

BILLING
Can you verify my insurance benefits before my appointment?
-
Yes. If you share your insurance information at least 48 hours before your visit, we will check:
-
Copay/coinsurance
-
Deductible status
-
Visit limits or special requirements (e.g., referral or prior authorization)
-
*Verification is an estimate only; final coverage depends on your insurer & claims processing.*
What is a copay or coinsurance?
-
Copay: A fixed dollar amount you pay at each visit.
-
Coinsurance: A percentage of the visit cost you pay after the deductible is met.
Can I use my HSA or FSA?
Yes, we are happy to accept HSA or FSA payments for any of the services we offer as well as supplements. Please check your card policies for specifics.
Why can’t you guarantee what my insurance will cover?
Insurance companies do not guarantee coverage until a claim is processed. Benefit verification gives an estimate, but the insurer makes the final determination.
