Tips For Your First Acupuncture Treatment

We’re so excited to welcome you to Elliott Therapeutics! Whether this is your first acupuncture session ever or you’ve had treatments elsewhere, we want you to know that your experience here will be special. Every acupuncturist has their own style, technique, and philosophy—and at our clinic, we’ve designed a space that feels calm, welcoming, and completely centered around your comfort.

From the moment you walk through the door, we hope you feel like you’re part of our family.

Before Your First Appointment: A Few Helpful Tips

1. Create Your Patient Account

In order to book, reschedule, or cancel appointments online, you’ll need to create an account in our scheduling system.
We know—another login! But the convenience is worth it. Your account allows you to:

  • Quickly book future sessions

  • Reschedule or cancel without emailing us

  • Access your appointment history

  • Manage reminders

If you don’t mind adding another app to your phone, you also have the option to download the Jane for Clients app which will give you easier login access via your Face ID and also allow you to manage any other clinics you visit that use the same software.


2. Finding Our Clinic

We are conveniently located in the heart of Eden Prairie, very close to the intersection of Anderson Lakes Parkway and Flying Cloud Drive.

Landmarks to look for:

  • Cloud 9 Car Wash

  • O’Reilly Auto Parts

Aztec Drive is the short road parallel to Flying Cloud Drive where several small businesses are located. We are in an end-unit office condo with plenty of easy parking, including designated handicap parking.

If you see “Elliott Therapeutics” on the door and window, you’re in the right place!


3. Come On In!

When you arrive, it’s normal not to see someone at the front desk right away—we’re likely finishing up with a patient in a nearby room. Have a seat and make yourself at home.

Our waiting area includes:

  • Water cooler

  • Free carbonated water in the drink fridge

  • A visible, easy-access restroom

Help yourself and settle in. We’ll be out shortly to greet you.

Your Treatment Room: Your Personal Acupuncture Sanctuary

One of our top priorities is creating a clean, cozy, peaceful treatment room where you can fully relax. We have five treatment rooms, each designed to be its own little sanctuary.

A few things you’ll notice right away:

Warm, Cozy Beds (Totally Adjustable)

We know everyone has different temperature preferences. Our default is a warm treatment table to help you settle into relaxation—but if you run warm, no worries. Your bed warmer is connected to Alexa, so you can simply say, “Alexa, turn the bed off,” at any time to cool things down. Your practitioner can also adjust the temperature for you.

Music You Actually Want to Listen To

Spa music is our standard, but you’re welcome to switch it up.
Love Taylor Swift? 90s rock? True crime podcasts? Talk radio?
Go for it. Alexa is in the room to customize your listening preferences.

We also encourage you to use your phone (with our without headphones) to continue listening to your favorite podcast or audiobook. Personally, this is how I like to spend my still time.

There’s absolutely no rule that says you need Zen flute music for acupuncture to work—the treatment is effective no matter what you’re listening to, and we truly want the experience to feel like yours.


What Happens During Your Treatment

Once your practitioner places the acupuncture points, you’ll be left to rest for about 30–45 minutes. This is where the magic happens—your body gets uninterrupted time to shift into healing mode.

Some patients love the stillness and drift into a nap, while others get antsy (trust us, you’re not alone!). That’s why we encourage you to:

  • Play your own music, podcast, or audiobook

  • Adjust your room’s music through Alexa

  • Get cozy however you’d like

Do whatever makes you feel most comfortable. You can completely relax knowing the treatment is working regardless of your mental state.

Need Something? Just Press the Button.

Each patient gets a small wireless doorbell that alerts your practitioner’s watch. Never hesitate to use it—you’re not bothering anyone and you won’t interrupt other treatments. We’re here for you at any moment.

We Can’t Wait To Meet You
