Frequently Asked Questions

Most patients are surprised by how gentle acupuncture is. The needles are extremely thin, and many people feel deeply relaxed during treatment, some even fall asleep.

It’s best to eat a light meal before your appointment and arrive a few minutes early so you can relax. Avoid wearing fragrances, and wear comfortable clothing that allows access to your arms and legs.

Loose, comfortable clothing is best. Depending on your treatment, we may access areas such as your arms, legs, abdomen, or back.

Some patients notice improvement after their first treatment, while others experience more gradual progress over several visits. Because acupuncture works cumulatively, the best results typically occur when treatments are received as part of a recommended series. During your first visit, we’ll discuss what to expect based on your specific concerns.

Many patients are able to use HSA or FSA funds and reimburse themselves for acupuncture services. While we do not bill insurance directly, we are happy to provide a superbill you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

Yes. If you are interested in cosmetic acupuncture, microneedling, or facial rejuvenation, we can help determine the best starting point during your first visit.

We’re happy to help. You can reach out through our Contact page and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

I can not speak highly enough of Erin and her knowledge and expertise! Not only is acupuncture amazing - literally taking away a 3 day migraine - but her expansive knowledge and tools at her disposal allows her to pinpoint what is going on with your body and treat accordingly. She takes the time necessary with each patient so you always feel well taken care of. Seriously, whenever I or any of my kids come down with something, I don’t go to doctors, I go see Erin!

After injuring my back for years during exercise and simple everyday movements, it usually takes a week to be able to walk normal and without being stiff. Recently, it wasn't happening in 7 days so I went to NOLA Family Acupuncture. After first visit, I noticed my back muscles relaxed, but still felt discomfort on the spine. After second visit along with Back Support CR pills, my back felt great. I was able to resume my normal Crossfit workouts. I am excited to continue future sessions.

Megan is such a good acupuncturist! I have seen her for my shoulder pain and she has helped with lower my pain and increasing my range of motion. I love that she uses different modalities, as well as acupuncture. She has used Estim, scraping and cupping as well as needles!

Erin is incredibly knowledgeable and not only can she speak to you about any physical pain your are having but also other ailments within the body too. She is kind, very nice to talk to and will make you feel comfortable. The space is welcoming and cozy as well. She also has a ton of different vitamins and supplements to suit many needs. Go to her, you won’t be disappointed!

I’ve been a patient/client for several years now, my primary treatments are for pain management and overall well being. During these years I’ve experienced amazing results that have allowed me to benefit not only physically but emotionally and spiritually as well.Erin’s understanding of the connectedness of the body, spirt and mind and how to treat it has served me (and those around me) more than I can state in a google review.Marc

Been having low back and hip pain for several years. My doctor recently stopped my anti inflammatory medications due to new information that these meds could be harmful. A friend of mine recommended that I make an appointment to see Erin, since Erin had helped my friend out so much.From the moment I met Erin, I felt totally at ease with her. She took her time with me, asking me lots of questions about my health and putting my anxieties at ease about the acupuncture process (I had never had this done before). She started me on a holistic regiment of supplements and topical cream that have helped me tremendously! Between the acupuncture and the supplements, my pain level has been minimal. No need for any prescription meds. Thank you, Erin, for your incredible knowledge of your practice and supplements, your professional and welcoming approach, and the kindness you exhibit. You are an asset to our community!

Thank you, Erin, for making me feel like myself again. The realistic wellness plans really work. I've been to countless MD's, specialists, nutritionists, and acupuncturists, and got no help. I've spent years looking for relief for my condition. Within a week of following Erin's nutrition advice and supplement plan, I feel ten years younger. I look younger! I have energy and a new hopeful outlook. My pain has subsided. I've even lost a few pounds! Erin's superior knowledge is empowering!This is real healing!
