Adjunct techniques

Added where appropriate.

Alongside acupuncture, your practitioner may include one of the following where it suits your treatment plan. These are discussed with you first.

  • Cupping: cups apply gentle suction to the skin
  • Moxibustion: warming specific points with smouldering mugwort
  • Gua sha: smooth, repeated strokes along the skin with a rounded tool

Good to know

Before you book.

Which appointment should I book?

If you haven't been treated here before, book an Initial Acupuncture appointment: the 90 minutes allows time for a full history and assessment. Returning clients book Follow-Up Acupuncture.

Does acupuncture hurt?

The needles are very fine. Most people describe a mild sensation as a needle is placed, then settle comfortably for the rest of the session. Tell your practitioner at any point if something doesn't feel right.

What should I wear?

Loose, comfortable clothing is ideal. You'll be appropriately covered and draped throughout your appointment.

How many appointments will I need?

That varies from person to person. After your initial appointment we'll talk through a suggested plan, and we review your progress as we go rather than committing you to a fixed course upfront.

When are you open?

Appointments are currently available on Thursdays between 9:00am and 5:00pm. Call 0408 290 001 or email us if you'd like to discuss availability.
