FAQS

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM MY FIRST SESSION?

Before any treatment is undertaken a comprehensive consultation and diagnosis according to Traditional Chinese Medicine will take place to assess your health needs and requirements followed by a suggested course of action.

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY FIRST TREATMENT?

Loose comfortable clothing should be worn for Tui Na and Acupuncture. It's not recommended to have treatment on an empty stomach but also not to be full, so make sure you've eaten in moderation beforehand so as to avoid any dizziness or light headedness that may occur.

DO YOU HAVE A SPECIALITY?

It is normal for TCM practitioners to develop clinical specialities in their practice, at the same time TCM is renowned for its holistic approach to health and healing. As such, at this point in time I still consider myself what you might call a generalist, with an equal interest in acute, chronic, external and internal disease.
