Your first appointment begins with a short informed consent process, giving you an understanding of acupuncture, its potential benefits, and any associated risks.
We then take time to understand your health concerns, lifestyle, and goals through a detailed consultation. This allows your acupuncturist to build a clearer picture of the patterns contributing to your symptoms and develop an individualised treatment approach.
Before treatment begins, we will explain the recommended approach, show you the acupuncture needles, and talk you through what to expect so you feel comfortable and informed throughout the process.
Once you are happy to proceed, fine acupuncture needles are gently placed and you will be given time to relax. Most treatments involve resting with needles in place for around 20–30 minutes. If you feel unsure at any stage, we are always available, and a call buzzer can be provided for your reassurance.
Following your treatment, we will discuss an achievable care plan tailored to your needs. This may include acupuncture, lifestyle recommendations, dietary support, and suggestions for other health services that may complement your recovery.
Our goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment where you feel informed, involved, and empowered throughout your journey back towards better health.
