About Our Acupuncture Clinic

At our clinic, we take a deeply personal approach to your care, ensuring that you feel comfortable and at ease at every stage of your treatment journey. Our sessions begin with a comprehensive consultation, not just to understand any health issues you might be facing, but also to gain insight into how these affect your life. Our focus is on empowering you to manage these impacts, helping you reclaim the life you enjoyed before.

Understanding that everyone’s schedule is unique, we offer flexible appointment times during weekdays, as well as Saturday and Sunday, with morning, afternoon, and evening slots available. If you're having difficulty finding a convenient time, please do not hesitate to contact us. We often have additional appointments available outside our regular booking system, particularly for bookings within 16 hours, which cannot be made online.

Our treatments are as varied as the individuals we see, with acupuncture being just one of the many modalities we employ. Your unique circumstances dictate the approach we take, which can range from the specific placement and duration of acupuncture needles to techniques like cupping, moxibustion, massage, reflexology, and more, all tailored to your needs. You can mention your preferences in the booking form or discuss them during the consultation.
