A Calm and Gentle Approach

 

Many people feel nervous before trying acupuncture for the first time, but treatments are usually deeply relaxing.

Very fine, sterile single-use needles are placed gently at carefully selected points on the body. Sensations are often mild and may include:

​

  • A dull ache

  • Warmth

  • Tingling

  • Heaviness

  • Deep relaxation

 

Many clients leave feeling calmer, lighter, and more settled both physically and mentally.

​

​

What to Expect at Your Appointment

 

Your first session includes:

​

  • A discussion about your symptoms, health, and goals

  • Time to ask questions

  • A personalised treatment plan

  • Your acupuncture treatment

 

Appointments take place in a calm, private environment, with your comfort prioritised throughout.

​

Depending on the treatment approach, areas such as the legs, arms, abdomen, shoulders, or back may need to be accessed. You will always be appropriately covered where possible.

 

Is Acupuncture Safe?

 

Acupuncture is generally considered very safe when carried out by a properly trained practitioner using sterile, single-use needles.

​

Some people may experience mild temporary effects after treatment such as:

​

  • Slight bruising

  • Temporary tiredness

  • Mild aching at needle sites

 

These effects are usually short-lived.​
