The duration of the treatment is 1 hour, from start to finish. I am present with the patient the whole time.

Arrive 15 minutes early for your first treatment so that you can fill out an assessment form.

It is best to wear loose fitting clothes that are made from natural fibers, eg cotton or wool. Take off any jewellery before the treatment, as synthetic clothes and metals affect some techniques used on the body during the treatment.

It is advisable not to have a hot shower or bath immediately before or after a treatment. It is better to wait 3 hours either side of the treatment.

Avoid alcohol before or after a treatment and preferably wait for 24 hours.

It is recommended that you don’t have a treatment if have not eaten and are hungry and try to avoid having a big meal prior to or immediately after a treatment.

It is better to let the effects of the treatment settle in the body so try not to schedule heavy exercise before or after a treatment.

In most cases, it is advisable to have a gap of 2-3 days between an acupuncture treatment and any other body work (massage, chiropractor etc.)

Please bring any medical reports or diagnostic reports.

The treatment is described as gentle but powerful. After the session the patient should feel relaxed and focused.
