From the reviews
I can't say enough positive things about my experience at this acupuncture practice! Alana, the practitioner, has been absolutely fantastic and incredibly attentive to my health needs. From the very first session, I knew I was in capable hands.
Fortress Acupuncture and Alana have helped improve my health this past year. I originally went for treatment to try and get rid of a COVID cough that would not subside. Within weeks the cough was gone. I stayed to reduce my spring allergy symptoms and was able to get through the season with no medication.
I've been seeing Alana for about a year, and her acupuncture and cupping really helped me through a challenging health period. She has a calm, reassuring presence and is very knowledgeable—always willing to explain things when I have questions. I feel noticeably better after her treatments, especially the cupping.
Alana is an excellent acupuncturist. I have been seeing her for a few months now and can’t recommend her enough. She listens to my concerns and treats the points according to my needs at the time. I started going to her for TMJ pain and arthritis/joint pain. Both are much better.
New to tai chi? Start at Fortress Acupuncture LLC
Fortress Acupuncture LLC comes up as a beginner-friendly studio, going by its listing and students' reviews. If you've never tried tai chi, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first session. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — the movements are slow and gentle, you set your own pace, and many can be done seated if standing is hard. Second, there's nothing to buy and nothing to keep up with — wear comfortable clothes and flat, flexible shoes, and simply follow along. Third, all ages and abilities really are welcome — ask whether there's a dedicated beginners or all-levels class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most studios are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first tai chi class at Fortress Acupuncture LLC
Nervous about walking into a tai chi class for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a gentle warm-up, then learning a few slow movements of the form, step by step — no pressure to get it perfect, and you can rest or sit whenever you need to. What to wear: loose, comfortable clothing you can move in, and flat, flexible shoes (some studios practice in socks or bare feet). What to bring: water, and that's about it — there's no equipment to buy. Arrive a few minutes early to say hello to the instructor and mention it's your first class. It comes together faster than you'd think — most people feel far more at ease by their second or third visit.
