Let’s begin. Everything you need to know before your first appointment.

Firstly, it’s important to know that your initial appointment involves a whole lot of talking, however you will still have optimal time on the table for treatment with acupuncture and bodywork as well.

The aim of your initial appointment is to gather a detailed history of your health through a series of questions, as well as looking at your tongue, taking your wrist pulse and feeling your abdomen.
This exploration helps us to understand your clinical presentation and Chinese Medicine pattern, which guides your treatment plan. Your treatment plan may involve a combination of acupuncture, massage, herbal medicine and lifestyle advice. Together we also form a mutual understanding of our goals and expectations with treatment.

With this information in mind, we then proceed with the acupuncture and bodywork component of treatment.
We acknowledge that receiving hands on touch can be a vulnerable space and will verbally check in with you to ensure you are comfortable at all times.

Time spent on the treatment table aims to leave you with a sense unfurling from deep rest.

Post treatment, you can expect to receive an email with your treatment plan and any reference material we may have discussed.
