Acupuncture Session
An acupuncture session is more than just about needles. It is a time and space to be listened to in a comfortable, friendly, and relaxed environment. Sessions are private and confidential and no judgements are made.
Maria takes a detailed case history involving lifestyle, medical history, medication, physical, mental health and symptoms or problems you are experiencing in the first acupuncture session. This information provides an overall picture of you, ‘whole person’, so she can formulate a treatment plan specific to you.
In the first acupuncture session, Maria will explain how acupuncture works and in addition what you should experience when needles are inserted. Patients are always encouraged to ask any questions throughout the session and provide feedback.
Advice on lifestyle is given to support you so that you can make the changes to support your treatment.
