ACUPUNCTURE - THE SESSION

Usually one requires a minimum of half a dozen acupuncture sessions with an average of a dozen sessions, in order to have any enduring positive impact upon the condition which is being treated. Acupuncture treatments are, as a rule, weekly or fortnightly and typically last for 45-60 minutes.

Medical Qigong healing is provided at no extra charge but Chinese herbal remedies do need to be paid for separately according to their cost.

Only sterilised disposable acupuncture needles are used with the utmost care and attention for the client's sensitivity and requirements. Complete confidentiality is practiced at all times. Chaperones can accompany the client if so desired.

A cancellation policy is in operation where the client has to pay a fee if they fail to attend a booked acupuncture session or fail to give notice of cancellation less than 48 hours before their scheduled appointment.
