Common Questions
In most cases, that is absolutely fine! If you do come in for back-to-back treatments, it does not matter which you do first or second, however we have found many of our clients enjoy the massage before their treatment. If you have just had an embryo transfer during an IVF cycle, however, we would recommend taking it easy and checking in with your practitioner before scheduling your appointments all at once.
Absolutely! You can also see a different practitioner each week if that works better with your schedule. The Yinova team works collaboratively, so any practitioner you see will have access to your chart and will be fully informed about your case, enabling them to provide you with continuity of care.
You can also speak to a practitioner on the phone before booking your Virtual Initial Consultation. Just let the front desk know, and they will arrange a call for you. We also offer virtual consultations, with no acupuncture treatment. These are an opportunity to speak with one of our practitioners, where you will go over your health history and they will prescribe you an herbal formula as well as offer any dietary/lifestyle advice they may have.
