A first appointment with me will be gaining an in depth understanding of your medical history and current health.

From there, we create a treatment plan.

You will receive Acupuncture in your first appointment.

If you are working with me online then we will organise your first herbal prescription.

I have different types of initial appointments.

One for those with complex chronic conditions that require more time.

A shorter initial appointment that is recommended for those who only have 1-2 main complaints.

A cosmetic acupuncture initial appointment and an online Telehealth appointment.

Acupuncture is a painless insertion of fine needles into the skin. It may initially create some ‘nervy’ sensations, which soon dissapates after insertion
