Your first session
About 45 minutes, mostly resting
A first session is the same as every other one. Come ten minutes early for a short conversation and a form, and plan on about 45 minutes in the chair.
Wear what you have on, with sleeves and hair away from your ears. Eat something light first. Bring a list of what you take if you like, though you do not have to.

What to tell us before we begin
Pregnancy
Tell Ismael before the session.
Blood thinners
Tell him what you take and how often.
A pacemaker or an implanted device
Say so first.
Lymph node removal
Tell him which side.
A bleeding disorder
Say so before any needle.
A fear of needles
Ear seeds are an easy answer.
