Outcomes

What itdelivers.

Pain reliefMeridian needling at specific acupoints to address chronic and acute pain, headaches, and muscular tension. Results compound across sessions.

Nervous system regulationAcutonics and infrared mat work settle the nervous system during the session, extending the calming response well beyond treatment time.

Myofascial release via cuppingGliding and stationary cups release fascial restriction, improve circulation, and address stagnation that manual pressure alone does not reach.

90-minute bodywork integrationThe extended session adds deep-tissue massage and focused bodywork to the acupuncture protocol. One appointment, two modalities.

FAQ

Commonquestions.

What is meridian acupuncture?

Meridian acupuncture is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Hair-fine needles are placed at specific points along the body's energy pathways to stimulate circulation, reduce pain, regulate the nervous system, and support healing. At Resonance Marin, every session is shaped to how you present on the day.

What techniques are used in the session?

Every session includes meridian needling, and may incorporate cupping (gliding and stationary), Gua Sha, Tui Na (manual therapy), ear needles, acutonics (tuned vibration), craniosacral technique, and LED therapy. The acupuncturist selects and combines these based on how you present.

What is the difference between 60 and 90 minutes?

The 60-minute session focuses on acupuncture with supportive modalities. The 90-minute session adds deep-tissue bodywork and massage. Book the 90 if musculoskeletal tension or injury recovery is part of your goal.

What is Meridian 30 and when should I book it?

Meridian 30 is a focused 30-minute acupuncture session. Book it standalone when time is limited, or add it to any massage, Restore, or full acupuncture session for $120. It includes acutonics and INBAR+co aromatherapy throughout. Useful between full sessions for maintenance, or layered onto bodywork for combined structural and meridian benefit.

Is acupuncture safe?

Yes. Acupuncture is performed by a licensed acupuncturist using sterile, single-use needles. The treatment is not suitable during pregnancy, for clients with bleeding disorders, or for those on blood thinners without medical clearance. Call us at (415) 891-3328 if you are unsure.

What should I expect after the session?

Most clients feel very relaxed. Light-headedness is common and subsides within an hour. Drink plenty of water. Avoid intense exercise and alcohol for 24 hours. Pain relief and improved sleep are often noticeable after the first session and build across a series.
