Appointments.
Initial Consultation & Treatment
90-120 minutes
Your first session allows time for a thorough consultation, exploring your health history, emotional patterns, lifestyle and what has brought you to acupuncture.
Before beginning your acupuncture treatment, I carry out a traditional Five Element clearing treatment using points on the back to clear stagnation that may otherwise interfere with treatment. It can take around 20 minutes, sometimes longer, depending on the individual.
We’ll then finish with your first acupuncture treatment, with the points selected according to your individual diagnosis and needs.
Follow-Up Treatment
45–60 minutes
Each treatment builds on the last. We’ll begin with a conversation about how you’ve been feeling and any changes since your previous session, followed by pulse diagnosis and a treatment based on what you need that day and the underlying patterns we’re working with.
I recommend 4–6 weekly treatments initially, allowing the foundations to be set. I’ll assess your progress through your pulses and how you’re feeling, gradually spacing out appointments as things begin to settle.
