Assessment before treatment
Your first appointment begins with listening, health history and a clear understanding of what you want support with.

Assessment
Your first appointment begins with listening, health history and a clear understanding of what you want support with.
Treatment is selected for your presentation, comfort level and goals rather than treated as a standard menu item.
Acupuncture may be supported by cupping, moxibustion or Chinese medicine consultation when appropriate.
You leave with practical guidance, what to notice after treatment and how follow-up care may be structured.
Unsure Where To Start?
If your concern fits more than one care area, the first appointment is designed to clarify what is most relevant.
