Patient Information

Try to arrive to your appointment early. This will give you plenty of time to complete any necessary paperwork and relax before your treatment.
Bring a list of current medications and/or supplements, as well as any medical reports or results that may be relevant.
It is advised to eat a light meal or snack a few hours prior to appointment.
Please wear loose, comfortable clothing that can be easily rolled up to the knees.
Try not to brush or scrape your tongue prior to your appointment as we look at your tongue as part of the initial consultation.

Here are a few tips that we suggest to enhance the effect of our treatment:

It is normal to feel a little tired, very relaxed or energised after a treatment.
Some people can feel a little light-headed after a session. This is normal and related to the release of endorphins during treatment. We suggest having a light snack and rest post-treatment in this case.
Drink at least 2-3 glasses of water following an Acupuncture session to assist any toxins to be flushed out of the body.
Sometimes small bruises, lumps or pain may occur after treatment. This is an indication of stagnation and blockages in the body moving and clearing. They will usually resolve within a few days.
We recommend avoiding vigorous exercise and alcohol post-treatment as your body is rebalancing and adjusting to the changes.
Try to remember or take notes of how you responded to treatment. This is important for us to know so that follow-up treatments can be designed to best assist you.
