The other half of the practice: a comprehensive, holistic approach to pain, stress, digestion, and burnout, led by Keli Lemoi, who holds a doctorate in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine.
Your first visit starts with a real conversation, about 45 minutes of it. You tell your story in full, and Keli asks the questions that let her form a Chinese medical diagnosis: your health history, your current signs and symptoms, how you sleep, eat, and work.
Alongside the conversation, she reads the body directly: tongue, pulse, and gentle palpation of the abdomen and, where useful, the arms, legs, back, and scalp. Postural assessment and orthopedic testing come in when the problem calls for them.
Then you rest comfortably with needles while the treatment does its work. Most visits also include adjuncts where they help: cupping, gua sha, Tui Na, moxibustion, trigger point work, or stretching. Herbal medicine is included, with a formula prescribed to your unique pattern.

Herbal medicine is included with every acupuncture visit.
An in-depth exploration of your health history, current signs and symptoms, and lifestyle. The verbal intake takes about 45 minutes, with postural assessment, orthopedic testing, and manual palpation as needed. After the intake you have a full treatment, resting comfortably with needles, and leave with an herbal formula prescribed to enhance your treatment.
A 10–15 minute recap of your signs and symptoms since the last visit, then a full front, back, and side-lying treatment as needed, with time for adjuncts such as cupping, gua sha, Tui Na, or moxibustion, and targeted applications like trigger point work, dry needling, and stretching. Your herbal prescription is reviewed and adjusted at every visit.
The same in-depth intake, focused on herbal treatment: your history, signs and symptoms, and lifestyle, with analysis of tongue, pulse, and abdomen to determine the proper diagnosis. You leave with an herbal formula prescribed to your unique Traditional Chinese Medicine pattern. Massachusetts and Connecticut residents can complete this visit by telehealth.
A check on your progress with your formula: 10–15 minutes on your signs and symptoms, then examination of tongue, pulse, and abdomen to confirm whether your prescription should be modified. Once you're on maintenance, follow-ups stretch out to every 2–6 weeks. Telehealth visits are available for Massachusetts and Connecticut residents.
The free 15-minute assessment chat is the low-pressure way in: ask anything about acupuncture, herbs, or whether this approach fits what you're dealing with.
