New Practice Member FAQs

Welcome!

If you’re new here, welcome — I’m so glad you’ve found your way to this space!
Feel free to explore and learn more about the offerings and the philosophy that guide this work.

At Alma Luna Wellness, you’re invited to become the advocate of your own healing journey.
Each appointment is an act of self-honoring. A sacred moment to return to your body, your breath, and your inner knowing. Healing is not a “quick fix”; it’s a continuous unfolding that asks for your presence and participation.

By becoming a practice member, you affirm your commitment to yourself — to nurture your wellbeing with the same love and devotion you would offer to those dearest to you. I’m honored to walk alongside you on this path of transformation.

Entering Through Resonance-Based Portals

Our care is organized through Resonance-Based Portals, each representing a distinct layer of healing and transformation.
Rather than separating services by category, these portals reflect the natural rhythm of healing — from the structural to the energetic, from the personal to the collective.

  • Portal 1: Aligning Current
    Chiropractic, Acupuncture, and Integrative Bodywork to align structure, flow, and nervous system coherence.

  • Portal 2: Subtle Reweaving
    Energetic and frequency-based healing through Reiki, sound, and body-centered awareness for recalibration and nervous system repair.

  • Portal 3: Threshold Guidance
    Intuitive, conversational sessions with ceremonial cacao and ancestral channeling to support integration, identity shifts, and spiritual remembrance during times of transformation.

  • Portal 4: Sacred Circles
    Communal gatherings, cacao ceremonies, and full moon events designed to deepen connection, release, and reciprocity within the collective field.

Each portal invites you to meet yourself at a particular octave of your healing journey.
You are welcome to begin where resonance calls you most clearly or to move fluidly between portals as your body and spirit guide you.

What Can I Expect At My First Visit?

Portal 1:
If you are entering through Portal 1, your first visit will begin with a comprehensive history and physical examination to determine the most aligned course of care. We will review your goals, assess for any contraindications to treatment, and discuss potential needs for co-management or further studies such as imaging or labs.

A personalized care plan will then be developed to fit your unique presentation and wellness intentions. Please dress comfortably and arrive early to settle into the space.

Treatment
Depending on your selected service, treatment may include Chiropractic Care, Muscle Therapy, Acupuncture, and/or Reiki. During your session, Dr. Charlotte will assess spinal mobility, cranial structure, muscle compensation patterns, meridian flow, and organ system balance.

This time is collaborative. You are welcome and encouraged to ask questions and share insights as we move through your body’s story together.

For Portals 2–4:
If you are entering through Subtle Reweaving, Threshold Guidance, or Sacred Circles, the rhythm and structure will differ.
These sessions begin with conversational attunement and intention-setting rather than examination. Each visit unfolds intuitively, guided by your body’s readiness and the energy that emerges in the moment. Each experience unfolds organically, responding to the energy of the moment rather than following a fixed formula.

How Often Will I Need To Schedule?

For Portal 1:
Frequency of care varies for each individual. After your first session, Dr. Charlotte will review your intake forms, assessment findings, and treatment notes to create a personalized Report of Findings.

During your second visit, she will review your care plan, outline suggested supportive therapies, and answer any questions about your next steps. Your plan may evolve over time as your body and nervous system integrate the work.

For Portals 2–4:
The rhythm of care within these portals is guided by resonance rather than prescription.
Sessions may be scheduled intuitively — when integration feels complete, when a new threshold arises, or in alignment with lunar and seasonal cycles.

Some clients return monthly, seasonally, or during times of transition. You are invited to listen to your body and the rhythms of nature as you decide when to return.

Do I Need To Fill Out Intake Paperwork?

Yes. Once you schedule your initial visit online, you’ll receive an email with a secure link to your intake forms. Please complete all required documents before your first visit.

If you prefer to fill them out in person, please arrive 15–20 minutes early to allow time before your appointment begins.

Do You Accept Insurance?

Our care is devoted to wellness, embodiment, and transformation, integrating body, mind, and spirit. Because these services are not medical in nature, they are not covered by insurance.

To maintain the integrity and depth of our offerings, we do not participate with insurance or Medicare, nor do we accept personal injury or workers’ compensation cases.

This structure allows us to offer truly individualized care, free from the limitations of copays, deductibles, or visit restrictions.

Payment is due at the time of service, and we accept:

  • Cash, check, debit/credit cards

  • Apple Pay and Venmo

  • HSA/FSA cards

Our focus is on supporting your journey of self-discovery, healing, and embodiment, and we are honored to hold space for your growth.

How Is This Office Different Than Other Chiropractic Offices?

Our approach is rooted in wholeness and reverence for the body’s innate intelligence.
We view symptoms as sacred messengers that invite you to reconnect with your body’s wisdom and your soul’s purpose.

This care blends structural, energetic, and emotional awareness to help you move toward your most coherent and authentic expression.

You are always encouraged to collaborate with other healthcare providers as needed. We are happy to co-manage care and communicate with your health team, honoring that each practitioner holds a unique piece of your healing journey.
