Acupuncture Appointments & Well-being

An Individual Approach to Well-being

People come to acupuncture with different concerns and goals. My Clifton practice offers time to discuss your experience of health and explore an individual treatment plan in a quiet, private setting.

A Chinese and Japanese Medicine Perspective

My practice draws on traditions that understand health through concepts including Qi, yin and yang, and meridians. Within this framework, a consultation considers your physical experiences alongside sleep, diet, daily routine and emotional well-being.

Pulse reading and gentle abdominal assessment also inform how I select points and techniques. We discuss the proposed approach, the evidence relevant to your concerns and your preferences before beginning.

Your Session

Depending on the plan we agree, I use traditional needle acupuncture, non-insertive Toyohari techniques, or a combination. There is time to ask questions and discuss any concerns about needles.

Relaxation and a sense of well-being can be part of the experience. Each appointment also provides an opportunity to review how you have been feeling and discuss the next steps in your care.

Please continue any medical care recommended to you and seek appropriate advice about symptoms that concern you.
