Please note: do not wear makeup or perfume to your appointment, as your natural appearance and scent are important for an accurate TCM diagnosis. Unscented toner and face cream are fine.

Your Initial Assessment & Registration is the first step towards personalised, holistic care. This comprehensive consultation enables us to understand your health, lifestyle, and wellbeing goals so that we can create a treatment and wellbeing plan tailored specifically to your needs.

During this 30-minute session, we will discuss your personal details, medical history, current symptoms, medications, lifestyle habits, physical activity, nutrition, stress levels, sleep quality, and overall health objectives. This information helps us gain a complete picture of your wellbeing and ensures that any treatment or guidance is safe, appropriate, and effective.

The consultation includes:

• Personal registration and confidential health questionnaire

• Medical history and current health assessment

• Review of medications, allergies, and previous treatments

• Discussion of lifestyle, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management

• Assessment of your wellbeing goals and priorities

• Identification of factors that may be contributing to your symptoms or health concerns

• Development of an initial personalised wellbeing and treatment plan

• Opportunity to ask questions and discuss the most suitable treatment options

Following your assessment, we will recommend the most appropriate next steps, which may include acupuncture, personalised wellbeing planning, exercise guidance, nutritional support, or lifestyle coaching.

Building the Foundation for Better Health

Every individual is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to wellbeing. This assessment provides the foundation for all future treatments and wellbeing planning, ensuring that every recommendation is tailored to your individual circumstances, health needs, and long-term goals.

Our aim is not simply to relieve symptoms, but to understand the underlying factors affecting your wellbeing and support you in achieving lasting improvements in your health, resilience, and quality of life.

Appointments lasting 20–40 minutes (£40) or 45–90 minutes (£60) are available, depending on the complexity of your health concerns and the level of assessment required.

This combined session includes a 30-minutes initial assessment followed by a 60minutes personalised acupuncture treatment.

During the assessment, we will review your current health, medical history, medications, main concerns, symptoms, lifestyle, and treatment goals. This helps us understand your individual needs and ensures that acupuncture is safe and appropriate for you.

Based on the findings from your assessment and Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis, carefully selected acupuncture points will be used to address the relevant meridians and patterns of imbalance. The treatment is tailored to support your specific health concerns, promote balance, and enhance your overall wellbeing.

Following your initial assessment, this session focuses on creating a practical and achievable wellbeing plan tailored to your individual needs, goals, lifestyle, and health priorities. Rather than simply receiving treatment, you will gain the knowledge, tools, and confidence to support your own long-term health journey.

Following your Initial Assessment, this 55-minute Follow-Up Acupuncture Treatment is tailored to your individual health needs and treatment goals. Using the findings from your consultation, specific acupuncture points will be selected to support your body's natural healing processes and restore balance within the body's energy pathways.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), health is achieved when Qi (vital energy), Blood, Yin, and Yang are in harmony and flowing freely throughout the body's meridian system. Stress, lifestyle factors, injury, illness, and emotional strain can contribute to blockages or imbalances that may affect overall wellbeing.

During your treatment, carefully selected acupuncture points are used to:

• Promote the smooth flow of Qi and Blood through the meridians.

• Help restore balance between Yin and Yang.

• Address areas of stagnation and energetic imbalance.

• Support the body's natural healing and recovery processes.

• Encourage relaxation and reduce physical and emotional tension.

• Enhance overall wellbeing and vitality.

Each treatment is fully personalised and may focus on concerns such as musculoskeletal discomfort, stress, fatigue, sleep quality, digestive health, emotional wellbeing, or general health maintenance.

A Holistic Approach to Wellbeing

Acupuncture aims to treat the root causes of imbalance rather than simply addressing symptoms. By encouraging harmony within the body's systems, treatment can help support physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing while promoting the body's natural ability to maintain health and resilience.

Regular follow-up treatments allow your progress to be monitored and your treatment plan adjusted as your health and wellbeing continue to improve.

A personalised acupuncture session for people experiencing pain or discomfort around the shoulder blade (scapula).

The session includes a discussion of your symptoms and an assessment of whether acupuncture is appropriate for you. Treatment is tailored to your individual needs, alongside practical self-care guidance.

Looking after your shoulder movement

When your shoulder hurts, it is natural to move it less. Over time, reduced movement can contribute to stiffness and make everyday activities more difficult. Prolonged restriction of shoulder movement is also associated with an increased risk of frozen shoulder, although shoulder blade pain alone does not mean you are developing this condition.

Seeking advice early and maintaining gentle movement within your comfort level can help you look after your shoulder mobility. If you spend long periods working at a computer, regular movement breaks and a comfortable workstation setup are useful self-care habits.

If your pain persists or your shoulder movement becomes increasingly restricted, seek assessment from your GP or a physiotherapist.
