TREATMENT & FEES
TREATMENT
What to expect
Each individual case is absolutely unique. This is why I look at all aspects of your health and lifestyle in order to tailor your unique and personalised treatment. In my practice, I draw on a variety of techniques including needling, cupping, moxibustion, tuina massage, and auriculo-therapy. I offer dietary and lifestyle advice all based on traditional Chinese Medicine theories to support and complement your treatment.
I aim at creating a supportive, calm and friendly environment to help you improve your general wellbeing and feel your best.
The initial consultation and treatment
· This 90min session begins with an in-depth consultation to identify the areas for which you seek treatment. We will discuss your medical history and explore all aspect of your health and lifestyle.
· The initial discussion will inform the treatment that you receive for this first session
· We’ll discuss and agree on a treatment program best suited to your need – please note that this can be reviewed at any time during the program
· I’ll give you personalised advice to support your progress between treatments – this includes breathing, movement and exercise, self-acupressure
Follow-up treatments:
Acupuncture is a medicine with powerful cumulative effects. It’s important to take a consistent approach to achieve the best results. As such, treatments are typically booked as a six-session programme.
A follow-up treatment is 45-60min long
It comprises a review and evaluation of your progress
A custom acupuncture treatment that takes into account your progress in the context of your treatment program and objectives
A patient centered approach
At each step of the consultations and treatments, patient safety and wellbeing are paramount. Chinese Medicine takes a person-centred approach in all aspects of the session. I always consult my patient and proceed with their full consent prior to and during treatment.
I use single-use disposable needles, which I then disposed of according to current legislation. Acupuncture needles are very fine and flexible, and you should only feel a slight sting on insertion. Once the needle is inserted, you might feel sensations of tingling, heaviness, pressure, warmth or coolness. None of these sensations are painful. I leave you to relax for up to 30 minutes before I take the needles out. This is your time to switch off and relax.
I recommend avoiding alcohol, coffee or eating a heavy meal before a treatment, however it’s best not to come on an empty stomach. Wear comfortable clothes and try to create some space in your schedule immediately following your appointment.
I love seeing the positive changes that acupuncture brings to my patients and the role it plays in restoring optimal physical and emotional balance.

Claiming for acupuncture on your private health insurance
A number of major insurers cover acupuncture treatments by practitioners registered with the British Acupuncture Council. Most policies require a referral from a GP or consultant. It is worth checking with your insurer for details.
I am currently registered with Vitality and Aviva that will cover part of my fees.
Blood donors The National Blood Service does not accept donations from people who have received acupuncture in the previous four months (other than treatment administered within the NHS). Visit the National Blood Service website for more information.
