Explore acupuncture and Chinese medicineA different kind of clinical care
True North is a careful, grounded treatment space where your concerns are taken seriously, your comfort matters, and your care plan is explained clearly.
Appointments are built around listening first, so treatment can respond to the whole pattern rather than only the loudest symptom.
Needle concerns, treatment cadence, insurance questions, and first-visit expectations are handled directly before you commit to care.
Gentle acupuncture and adjunct therapies are chosen with consent, comfort, and clinical judgment at the center of the visit.
Care may include acupuncture, breath, posture, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, or Pilates-informed practices that support progress between sessions.
New patients
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.
