All of our supervisors and interns are well-trained in integrative and East Asian Medicine and are fully equipped to address your health concerns. To find a practitioner who feels like the right fit, you’re welcome to browse supervisor specialties and intern bios on our booking platform, Jane. Some patients prefer to continue care with the same intern, while others enjoy receiving treatment from a variety of interns and supervisors. Because we use a shared Electronic Health Record system, your information is accessible across our clinical team—ensuring seamless, coordinated care no matter who you see.

AIMC’s Clinic Intern Practitioners are compassionate, professional students in the final stages of their clinical training. They bring a wide range of life experiences—ranging in age from their twenties to sixties—and come from diverse personal and professional backgrounds. If you’d like to learn more about individual interns and their clinical interests, you can view their bios on our booking platform, Jane.

Your visit will last between 1 to 2 hours. On your first visit, a Clinic Intern Practitioner will conduct a thorough health history and assess your primary concerns using East Asian diagnostic methods, such as tongue and pulse evaluation. After consulting with a licensed Supervisor, your Intern will share a personalized treatment plan with you. You’ll then be invited to the treatment table. Please wear loose, comfortable clothing—a gown will be provided if needed. The practitioner will clean and palpate acupuncture points before inserting fine, sterile, single-use needles. Additional techniques may be used based on your needs, including acupressure, tui na or shiatsu massage, moxibustion, cupping, gua sha, or electro-stimulation. After treatment, most patients feel relaxed, uplifted, or balanced. You may notice mild soreness or temporary marks from cupping or gua sha, which typically fade within one to two weeks. Drinking water and getting rest are recommended. If you have questions after your visit, feel free to reach out to your Intern or Supervisor for support.

If you're seeking treatment for eczema, you might be surprised when we ask about your digestion, sleep, or menstrual cycle. That’s because East Asian Medicine treats the whole person—not just the condition. We’ll always ask detailed questions about your primary concern, but we’ll also explore other aspects of your health to create a personalized diagnosis and treatment plan. This holistic approach helps us address the root of imbalances and support your overall well-being.

Your practitioner will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan, including recommended frequency and goals. In general, acute conditions tend to respond more quickly, while chronic or long-standing conditions may require more time and consistency to see lasting improvement. Many patients notice some benefit within 1–2 sessions, while most experience noticeable results within 4–6 treatments. Like exercise or physical therapy, consistent treatment leads to better outcomes. A typical treatment plan may involve weekly acupuncture for 4–8 weeks, followed by less frequent maintenance visits as symptoms improve. Herbal prescriptions are usually provided in 1–2 week batches, with regular check-ins to evaluate and adjust your custom formula. Some formulas are for short-term use, while others may be designed for ongoing support and prescribed monthly. Regular follow-ups help ensure your treatment stays aligned with your body’s changing needs.
