Her office is welcoming and incredibly calming, creating a perfect environment for healing. Dr. LaFranchi is a fantastic listener who genuinely cares and has a true passion for her work. I happily travel all the way from Broomfield to see her because of the quality of care she provides. The location is convenient, easy to access, and always has free parking available. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking compassionate and effective acupuncture care.

What to Expect at Your First Appointment
Your first visit is an intake and treatment combined. Dr. LaFranchi will spend time getting to know your full health history — your cycle, your stress levels, your sleep, your digestion — because in Chinese Medicine, everything is connected. From there, she’ll develop a personalized treatment plan that may include acupuncture, herbal medicine, and lifestyle guidance.
Treatments are generally deeply relaxing. Most patients find the needles comfortable — many fall asleep on the table. Sessions typically run 60–75 minutes for a first visit.
You don’t need to do anything to prepare. Just come as you are, and we’ll take it from there.
