Acupuncture may help combat stress. Experience relief from headaches, insomnia, digestive issues, and anxiety while enhancing your overall well-being.
Treatments We Specialise In
Acupuncture allows the rebalancing of Qi (energy) that flows around your body, helping to relieve your skin, muscles, tissues and organs.
Chinese herbs are a natural way to help improve symptoms such as infertility, headaches or digestive issues.
Cups can be applied to the body to help relieve tension or stagnation and can moved around to give a relaxing massage effect.
What To Expect... A Holistic, Individualised Approach
Every patient is different and requires varied treatments, so we work closely with you to discover how we will best benefit you.
Pre-questionnaire
Patient intake and consent forms will be emailed to you. Please fill this out prior to your appointment.
Eating Prior
Please a snack or meal in the 1 to 2 hours (but not 30 minutes) prior to your appointment. Some people can feel faint after treatment if they have not eaten before-hand.
Initial Consultation and Treatment (45-55 minutes)
-
We will have a comprehensive discussion about your health history and main health concern/s. Some questions may seem unrelated, but when treating with traditional Chinese medicine, we look at the body as a whole. Every body is unique, so every treatment will be tailored to you.
-
We will complete examinations such as looking at your tongue and taking your pulse, as well as taking your blood pressure and any physical tests necessary.
-
A 20-30 minute acupuncture treatment will be given. If herbs are indicated, they will be blended at this point.
-
Wear loose comfortable clothing where possible, as we may need to insert needles at a variety of points around your body, not just where you are experiencing the symptom/s.
-
Please bring any reports or scans relevant to your health concern with you.
Follow-up Consultation and Treatment (40 minutes)
-
We will discuss the effects of the previous treatment and the progression of the health concern.
-
A 20-30 minute acupuncture treatment will be given.
-
After a prescribed number of treatments, a detailed review will occur to see if the treatment plan needs changing.

"Claire was a dream to work with throughout my pregnancy. She is warm and inviting and explains everything in detail so you feel supported and well looked after. The sessions were relaxing and we focused on pregnancy aches and pains. I highly recommend Claire!"
