Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What can I expect during my first session?
A. The first appointment is all about finding out about your unique pattern from a Chinese medicine perspective. This can be 60- 90mins as we discuss your health and gather the information we need to effectively form your TCM programme. In clinic you’ll experience your first acupuncture or kinesiology treatment on the first visit. If you are working online, your special acupuncture tool(s) will be sent and in the second appointment, you’ll learn the art of acupressure and locate the acupoints best suited to you. Our follow-up appointments are great to tweak your points and techniques as you progress on your health path. Things do change.
