Acupuncture should not be painful. The needles are manipulated to make the acupuncture points ‘wake up' or ‘switch on'. There can be various sensations that people struggle to describe, and it very much varies from person to person. Common words that are used are: a dull ache, pulling sensation, a bit tingly, feel warm or cool.
Your treatment is tailored uniquely to you. There are hundreds of acupuncture points and point combinations to choose from, and I always choose these depending on your needs.
I encourage people to wear baggy clothing to sessions so that items can be lifted or rolled up if/where necessary. Blankets are used to cover you.
Everyone is unique and so there is no rigid formula. We will discuss your requirements and work out a timeline of treatment sessions.
With regards to how long it will take to see results often depends on how long you have had the problem; this will be discussed but it is usually recommended that 4-6 weekly treatments are required to start to regain balance within the body. Results of treatment do vary from person-to-person and should symptoms improve sooner treatments are generally spread out sooner.

If you would like any more information or to discuss anything further a FREE 20-minute consultation is available. Your first appointment is your initial consultation, where you can discuss your symptoms and ask any questions you have, this session also includes a treatment.
A treatment plan is then agreed on and treatments will be carried out. After each session we review your progress, reassess your situation and agree on the next stage of your treatment plan – it is unique to you.
Often clients come for one specific problem but find positive changes in various other areas of life from improved sleep and energy, to feeling less stressed and more balanced. After your first block of treatments, you then go onto top-up treatments afterwards as a preventative measure.
