A note from Dr. Orit
Healing work begins with listening. My role is to meet you with careful attention, help your body feel safe enough to respond, and offer practical tools you can carry into your life between visits.

What True North helps with
Care organized around what brings you here.
Symptoms matter, but so does the whole person. Treatment may include acupuncture, Chinese medicine, gentle movement, breath practice, and self-care guidance tailored to your goals, your season of life, and your body's changing needs.
I am stretched thin, anxious, or not sleeping well.
Sessions create time for your body to settle, while treatment and home practices support steadier sleep, breath, mood, and nervous system regulation.
I want to feel more comfortable in my body.
Care may combine acupuncture, adjunct therapies, and simple movement support for pain, digestive patterns, posture, mobility, and daily resilience.
A different kind of clinical care
Safe enough to relax. Professional enough to trust. Caring enough to feel seen.
True North is a careful, grounded treatment space where your concerns are taken seriously, your comfort matters, and your care plan is explained clearly.
You are not rushed.
Appointments are built around listening first, so treatment can respond to the whole pattern rather than only the loudest symptom.
Your questions are welcome.
Needle concerns, treatment cadence, insurance questions, and first-visit expectations are handled directly before you commit to care.
Your body is treated with respect.
Gentle acupuncture and adjunct therapies are chosen with consent, comfort, and clinical judgment at the center of the visit.
You leave with a path.
Care may include acupuncture, breath, posture, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, or Pilates-informed practices that support progress between sessions.
New patients
A calm first step before you book treatment.
If you are new to acupuncture or unsure where to begin, start with a free discovery session. It is a chance to ask questions, share what you are hoping for, and decide whether the next step should be an in-person intake, a movement consultation, or another care path.
- Schedule a phone discovery session. Choose a time and tell us the broad area of interest. Video conference sessions are coming soon.
- Talk through your goals. Dr. Orit will answer questions about acupuncture, treatment cadence, what to expect, and whether True North is a fit.
- Choose the next step. If care is appropriate, you can move into an initial intake and treatment plan with more clarity.
