New to acupuncture
Your body has been trying
to tell you something.
It starts as a whisper. Then it talks louder. Eventually it goes on strike. Most people arrive here somewhere in the middle of that — and what they want first isn't a treatment, it's to be understood.
What brings people to us
You probably didn't come here looking for acupuncture.
You came because something isn't right, and you'd like it to stop. These are the things people most often bring us.
-
Back and neck pain
The ache you've started planning your day around.
-
Sciatica
That line of pain down the leg that turns sitting into a negotiation.
-
Headaches and migraines
Knowing by mid-morning what kind of day it's going to be.
-
Stress, anxiety, and burnout
Running on adrenaline so long you've forgotten what rested feels like.
-
Fatigue and low energy
Sleeping the hours and still waking up empty.
-
Digestive issues
Planning meals around what your body will tolerate today.
-
Fertility support
-
Women's health
-
Sports injuries and recovery
Wanting to train again without paying for it for three days.
-
Immune support
Catching whatever goes round, and keeping it longer than everyone else.
-
Chronic pain
Being told the scans look fine while you still hurt.
-
Healthy aging, mobility, and wellness
Wanting the next twenty years to feel like the last twenty.
Not sure whether we're the right fit? That's what the first conversation is for — and if we can't help, we'll say so and point you somewhere that can.
How we work it out
Symptoms are the message. We're after the sender.
Your life story affects your body's health. Gradually it becomes more and more out of balance — until it starts talking to you loudly enough that you finally pay attention. Our job is to understand your particular story, and how it has shaped where you are now.
To do that we use both modern science and traditional diagnosis methods, including tongue and pulse diagnosis. You'll leave understanding why your body is talking to you, what's underneath the symptoms, and what we'd do about both.
Change begins with the very first treatment.
What makes this different
We'll tell you if we can't help.
Within your first two sessions we'll know whether we can help you reach your health goals through acupuncture. If we can't, we'll be glad to refer you to other care options.
We've been clinicians a long time. The point of this practice isn't to sell appointments — it's long-term health, which sometimes means sending someone somewhere else.
Before your first visit
The questions we hear most.
If yours isn't here, ask when you book — we'd rather you had a clear picture beforehand than wondered during it.
What actually happens in the first two sessions?
Why do the two sessions need to be within seven days?
What if acupuncture isn't the right answer for me?
Does acupuncture hurt?
How do you work out what's going on?
Will I be told to change my whole life?
Book your visit
A first visit takes one conversation.
We'll talk through what you're feeling, what you've tried, and which modality fits. New patients are welcome.
