I do not accept insurance but you are welcome to use your FSA and HSA card. I do offer a discounted acupuncture rate with Acupuncture Packages: click here and look under “Rates” for more information about these. If you are in need of a low income rate, your local Community Acupuncture Clinic will be an incredible resource for you. In San Francisco: San Francisco Community Acupuncture.

For NEW PATIENTS interested in both Arvigo® Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy (ATMAT) and Acupuncture and are not sure which one to choose for their first appointment with me, I recommend beginning with the Initial ATMAT session.

For The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy® (ATMAT): PLEASE NOTE BEFORE BOOKING. Schedule for a time when you do not expect to be menstruating. If you are actively trying to conceive please book in between the end of menses and ovulation. If currently pregnant please book after 28 weeks of pregnancy. If postpartum please schedule 6 weeks after vaginal delivery or 12 weeks after C-Section. If you have an IUD I will modify the techniques on the lower abdomen. Any abdominal surgery (wait 6-8 weeks post-surgery or 12 weeks post hysterectomy). For a list of more contraindications and modifications please refer to my website here.

I look forward to working with you🌱

⭐️CLICK ON A TREATMENT TO VIEW A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EACH TREATMENT⭐️ Arvigo® Therapy is best known for addressing misalignment or congestion in the pelvic bowl or reproductive organs of both male and female bodies, as well as many common digestive disorders.
The techniques effectively alleviate tissue congestion and organ constriction to improve the vital flows of energy, blood, lymph and nerves in the abdomen. It addresses and can release emotional and energetic tension from the abdomen. This assists to prevent the progression of chronic disease symptomology while improving the body’s ability to self repair and balance.

ATMAT sessions include going over your health care needs and concerns utilizing a root cause approach with lifestyle, diet, nutritional and herbal protocols whenever possible to help reverse underlying causes, followed by the Arvigo® Techniques (front and back), in an individual, therapeutic session.

Typically 2-3 professional sessions (at a minimum) are required to address most conditions, although everyone is unique. A tailored treatment plan will be given. Patients who perform their self-care massage on a routine basis report an improvement in their symptoms.

PLEASE NOTE BEFORE BOOKING: Schedule for a time when you do not expect to be menstruating. If you are actively trying to conceive please book in between the end of menses and ovulation.
