During your first visit which usually last around an hour you will be questioned about the current symptoms you specifically want treating and about your general health.  Everything you divulge me is completely confidential.  Then I will give you a short treatment to so I can assess how you respond to the treatment.  Subsequent treatments take between 30 to 45 minutes depending on your response to your initial treatment.

Gaining an insight into your lifestyle, previous medical history and emotional state will enable me to give you the most appropriate treatment to help you heal by identifying the underlying pattern of disharmony.

Once the underlying pattern of disharmony has been established my aim is then to adjust the most appropriate energy channels to improve your specific complaint, and to boost your overall energy and vitality.

Please refrain from drinking alcohol before treatment and also please ensure you don’t have a treatment on an empty stomach as both can result in nausea and dizziness after acupuncture.

Please wear comfortable clothing, and you should be aware that if I am using Acupuncture I might need to access points on your torso as well as on your arms and legs.

Stimulation of specific areas on or beneath the skin affects the functioning of certain organs in the body. However, those areas may not be close to the part of the body where the problem is experienced. For example, although you may suffer from headaches, needles, cupping or acupressure massage may be applied to your foot or hand.
