What are the benefits of acupuncture?

Treatment is aimed at the root cause as well as symptoms. This approach helps resolve your main reason for treatment but also enhances your feeling of wellbeing. You may notice niggling problems improve that you weren't expecting!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is acupuncture safe?

Yes, the risk of serious adverse reaction to acupuncture is less than 1 in 10,000.

Does acupuncture hurt?

The needles I use are incredibly fine (as fine as human hair!). The sensation is nothing like an injection, it is a unique feeling often described as tingling or a dull ache. Most people find acupuncture treatment relaxing.

How many treatments will I need?

Treatment is tailored to each individual so the frequency and number of treatment depends on you as an individual. I usually see clients weekly for at least one full menstrual cycle.

Where will you put the needles?

Most acupuncture points lie on the hands, arms, legs and feet. I may also use points on your lower abdomen, back and face.

What should I wear?

Wear something comfortable that will allow me easy access to your lower legs and feet, arms, hands and abdomen.

What are your qualifications?

I trained at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine and have a First Class BSc (Hons) Acupuncture degree from Kingston University. I have undertaken postgraduate training in acupuncture for gynaecology and fertility, PCOS and endometriosis, male and female infertility, pregnancy, labour and postpartum and obstetric complications in pregnancy.

What is your cancellation policy?

All appointments need to be paid for in advance and I have a strict 24-hour cancellation policy, with the full cost of your appointment payable if the required notice isn’t provided.
