What to Expect

After listening carefully to your medical history and current symptoms, the session begins with a hands-on diagnostic process - your pulse, tongue and abdomen give information that will inform your treatment.

This involves gentle touch on your hands, feet and belly, sensing temperature and quality of your skin, and the finer details of your pulse.

Treatment begins with a soft, hands-on tissue release and then gentle application of high quality, superfine needles at acupoints; or the use of a teishin (non-insertion) for the needle-phobic.

We may use moxibustion - the burning of pure mugwort on treatment points or tight muscles.
