WHAT TO EXPECT

NEW PATIENTS - First Consultation

The first acupuncture treatment involves a personalised assessment that will take up to 1.5 hours to create a personalised treatment plan.  During a new patient consultation, Claire will take an in-depth consultation.  A range of questions will be asked, including tongue and pulse diagnosis, physical assessment of the body structure, and palpation of the acupuncture channels.  Claire may suggest booking a number of  follow-up appointments to observe the treatment effects and steer the treatment in the correct direction to wellness.

PATIENTS  - Follow up Appointments

The follow-up appointments will take up to an hour.

We will discuss how your previous treatment(s) worked for you and then go over the presenting issues and additional concerns. 

A physical assessment: body, tongue, and pulse diagnosis will be taken.

This is also an opportunity to raise any questions that you may have.

All treatments may also include Cupping, Moxibustion, Guasha, Massage, Chinese Medicine and Nutritional advice.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR A TREATMENT

Please fill out any forms before treatment. 

Before treatment wear or bring loose fitting clothes.
