Frequently Asked Questions
How does acupuncture help the body heal?
Acupuncture encourages the body to shift out of stress mode and into a state where healing is possible.
It supports circulation, the nervous system, hormonal balance and digestive function. Most clients feel
calmer, clearer and more balanced after treatment.
What should I expect at my first appointment?
Your first visit includes a relaxed consultation where we discuss your health goals, symptoms and overall
wellbeing. You’ll then receive a gentle, personalised acupuncture treatment designed to support your body’s
natural healing response.
Does acupuncture hurt?
Most clients feel very little — often just a light tap or a warm, relaxing sensation. The needles are extremely
fine, and treatments are always tailored to your comfort level.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on your goals, how long the issue has been present, and how your body responds. Some people feel
improvement after 1–3 sessions, while others benefit from a short course of weekly treatments. We’ll discuss a
plan that suits your needs during your first visit.
