Help & Tips

How many sessions will I need?

This depends on your individual condition. Sometimes one or two treatments can clear it. Change can be felt in as little as five treatments, ideally within a short space of time. Some patients, after the initial course of around six sessions, usually continue monthly. My aim is to make you feel better as soon as possible.

What to expect.

On your first visit I will help you feel comfortable while asking you questions about your current symptoms, medical background, diet, sleeping patterns and emotional state. This information is both confidential and secure. I will ask you if you are happy for me to continue and use acupuncture, as it is important throughout the session that you feel secure and able to tell me how you are feeling.

The needles are very fine, not like the ones used for injections and blood tests. Although everyone is different, some describe the sensation as a dull ache, some as a tingling. A strong
sensation will be felt occasionally for conditions such as sciatica or neck and shoulder
pain. I describe the needles as KEYS which can open up the body and release its own
healing energy. Positive imagery and thinking can often help when you are nervous.
