● FIRST VISIT

Your First Visit,         
Made Simple

The first visit begins with listening and care—so you feel understood, supported, and at ease from the start.

“You're not a checklist. Your care shouldn't be either. We take the time to understand your body, your story, and what you need.”

— The Violette House care philosophy

● THE VIOLETTE HOUSE APPROACH

What Happens During Your First Visit

The first visit is a 50-60 minute session covering health history, acupuncture treatment, and a personalized plan.

We Truly Listen

At The Violette House, care begins with listening. This first conversation helps us understand what's happening in the body and how it's affecting daily life.

We See It All

Chinese medicine looks at the body as a whole. We carefully check pulse, observe tongue, and ask questions to understand what's beneath the symptoms.

We Treat Gently

After the consultation, you'll receive personalized treatment tailored to where you are. Each session is designed to restore balance and support healing.

We Plan Together

You'll leave with a clear treatment plan, including visit frequency, herbal recommendations, nutrition guidance, and personalized support moving forward.

● OUR TREATMENTS

● QUESTIONS WE HEAR A LOT

What You Might Be Wondering

  • Acupuncture is a gentle therapy that supports the body’s natural healing process. Very fine needles help restore balance, ease symptoms, and support overall wellbeing.

  • Your first visit is unhurried and centered on you. We begin with a conversation about your health and goals, followed by a treatment designed to support your body.

  • Most people find acupuncture very comfortable. The needles are extremely fine, and sensations are usually mild and brief. Many people feel calm or deeply relaxed.

  • Some people notice shifts after their first visit, while others improve gradually over time. Care is guided by how your body responds and what support it needs.

  • That’s completely normal. We move at your pace, explain each step clearly, and create space for questions so you feel comfortable and supported.

  • Often, yes. We are in-network with BlueCross BlueShield and AllWays/MGB. Many plans offer out-of-network benefits, and we can provide a superbill for reimbursement.
