● FIRST VISIT
A Thoughtful Beginning
A tailored first acupuncture visit to help you feel grounded, cared for, and supported
● YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT
What to Expect at Your First Visit
At The Violette House, your first visit is a chance to slow down and focus on your health in a thoughtful setting. We care for women at every stage of life, meeting you where you are and offering support that feels personal and grounded.
Here, your appointment is unhurried and designed to help you feel comfortable and heard from the moment you arrive. We begin with a conversation about your health, concerns, and goals to better understand your body and guide care.
● BEGINNING WITH LISTENING
Your First Visit, Step by Step
Your appointment begins with an intake and conversation. We review your health history, concerns, and goals to understand patterns beyond symptoms. You then receive a personalized treatment in a calm, unhurried setting, with time built in so care can respond to the root of what your body is asking for in the moment.
● CARE IN PRACTICE
Your Treatment, Tailored to You
Every treatment is individualized. Acupuncture is tailored to your unique presentation and may shift from visit to visit as your body responds. Care remains adaptive and responsive rather than fixed, evolving over time to support balance, relief, and lasting resilience rather than short-term symptom management alone.
● OUR TREATMENTS
Therapies That May Be Included
Each session is individualized. Depending on your needs, treatment may include one or more of the following therapies:
Acupuncture
Fine needles gently activate healing, restoring balance and supporting vitality.
Moxibustion
A warming herb increases circulation, easing pain and dispelling cold.
Cupping
Suction cups release tension, improve blood flow, and gently detoxify tissues.
Gua Sha
Gentle scraping relieves tightness, encourages flow, and supports healing.
Light Therapy
Red light reduces inflammation, supports fertility, calms skin, and accelerates repair.
Herbal Medicine
Custom formulas balance hormones, nourish health, and strengthen resilience.
● YOUR HEALTH PLAN
What Happens After the Visit
Some people feel immediate shifts after their first visit, while others notice changes gradually over time. Responses vary, and all are part of the healing process. Before you leave, we’ll discuss next steps, including recommended visit frequency and what ongoing care may look like. The goal is clarity, not pressure or obligation.
● REAL STORIES, REAL HOPE
