Village Acupuncture & Ayurveda patients receive treatment based in Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic modalities of care in Larkspur and via virtual consultations.

This allows them to experience immediate improvements with the use of acupuncture & herbal medicine and to help them build supportive life habits through Ayurvedic diet & lifestyle guidance that shift them into a healthier and more contented state.

More than a “fix”, you’ll create a life that supports your health at the pace you need to heal.

Village A&A Patients receive recommendations spanning all of Eastern Medicine as they slowly build in dietary adaptations, new daily routines, and carefully chosen yoga postures in addition to the care they receive with acupuncture and herbal medicine. These changes are most effective and lasting when integrated gradually as the individual is ready; because of this you can trust you will only be encouraged to do the things you are ready to integrate, feel manageable and truly beneficial. As the time you spend in the office is precious, be sure to complete the initial intake forms that will be sent to you via email after you make your booking in advance of arriving at the office for treatment.

While the majority of my patients utilize the full breadth of Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic modalities that I offer (see below), some prefer to use Ayurveda alone.

For this purpose I offer the option to book a stand alone Ayurvedic Consultation without acupuncture that can be done in person or via zoom should you so choose.

Treatment modalities include…

Initial Consultation & Treatment

In brief, the Initial Consultation & Treatment is 80 minutes to get a detailed picture of your current & past health history, explain your recommendations & treatment plan, and for you to receive an acupuncture treatment. 

Prior to the appointment time you will complete an online health history form for Kate Lumsden to reference so that you can get the most value for your time together.

Consultation: Together you will review your health history and get clear about your goals for treatment. Kate will then assess your pulse & tongue, perform gentle palpation over your limbs and abdomen to assess the flow of qi (energy, lymph, and blood circulation), and you will discuss a plan for treatment. Your treatment plan will include recommendations catered to your goals and lifestyle. They can include herbal medicine, nutrition guidance, lifestyle recommendations, and five sense therapeutics such as aromatherapy and self-massage instructions. 

Treatment: You will then receive an acupuncture treatment in a peaceful & private room and have time to rest. Depending on your condition, Kate will have you rest for 15-25 minutes. Many patients doze off during this time and look forward to it. After your acupuncture treatment, Kate will check in with you about how you feel and you can schedule your next treatment(s).

Other modalities, such as moxibustion, guasha, or cupping may be included in your treatment, as appropriate, and are an additional fee. These will be discussed prior to administration.

Fee:  $190 for Initial Consultation & Treatment
