Your First Appointment
Your first session is all about getting the full picture — not just your current symptoms, but your whole health story.
We’ll start with a detailed conversation about your medical history, lifestyle, and any past or present concerns. You'll also fill out a health questionnaire before we meet, so we can use the time together well.
Following the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), I’ll use diagnostic tools like pulse reading, tongue observation, and gentle palpation (usually around the torso, calves, or forearms). These help build a clearer understanding of how things are moving and functioning in your body from a TCM perspective.
From there, I’ll create a treatment plan tailored specifically to you — rooted in everything we’ve uncovered and focused on supporting your overall wellbeing.
Your Treatment
Once we’ve done your assessment, we’ll begin your acupuncture treatment. I use ultra-fine, single-use needles placed at specific points on the body. You might feel a dull ache, tingling, or warmth — but it’s usually brief and most people feel deeply relaxed during and after.
I follow strict hygiene standards and use only pre-sterilised, disposable needles.
If it feels right for your treatment, I may include tools like gua sha, moxibustion, ear seeds, cupping, or acupressure — at no extra cost.
I may also offer gentle lifestyle or dietary guidance, introduced gradually and tailored to you.
Healing is a team effort. You’re always welcome to ask questions, share what’s coming up, and be fully part of the process.
Your Treatment Plan
Consistency matters in acupuncture. Each session builds on the last, helping create real, lasting change.
Your treatment plan will be personalized. I’ll take the time to understand your symptoms and overall health, then guide you every step of the way in a safe, supportive environment.
Acupuncture isn’t just about addressing specific issues, it’s also a powerful way to support your overall wellbeing and maintain balance.
