What to expect
If you’re new to acupuncture, it can help to know how sessions typically work.
Treatment
Acupuncture involves the use of very fine needles placed at specific points on the body. Most people find the treatment itself calm and relaxing, with time to rest during the session.
Afterwards
You may feel more relaxed, sometimes tired, or occasionally more energised. Reactions vary, but we’ll talk through what to expect based on your situation.
How often to come
Acupuncture is often most effective as a course of treatment rather than a one-off session.
For specific or longstanding issues, weekly or fortnightly appointments are usually recommended at the beginning to build momentum and support lasting change.
As things improve, treatments can often become less frequent. We’ll decide together what feels appropriate once we’ve discussed your situation and what you’re hoping for support with.
This work isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about reconnecting with your body in a way that supports your life rather than competes with it.

Common questions
Does acupuncture hurt?
The needles used are very fine, much thinner than those used for injections.
Most people feel little to no discomfort. You may notice a mild sensation such as tingling, warmth or heaviness, followed by a sense of relaxation.
How many sessions will I need?
Every person and condition is different. Some people notice changes after just a few sessions, while others benefit from a longer course of treatment, especially for deeper or more chronic issues.
We’ll review your progress together and adjust your treatment plan as needed. Fertility support often works over a longer period, as treatment may be aligned with several menstrual cycles.
If you’re unsure what might be appropriate, you’re welcome to book a free discovery call before starting.
What should I wear?
Loose, comfortable clothing is ideal, as treatment often involves access to arms and legs.
If needed, blankets and towels are provided so you feel comfortable throughout.
Does health insurance cover acupuncture?
Some private health insurance providers offer cover for acupuncture.
You’ll typically pay upfront, request an invoice, and submit it for reimbursement.
