Acupuncture – Initial Session
A 1 hr 45 min first acupuncture session to discuss your health, needs, and treatment plan
Service Description
A first acupuncture session usually lasting around 1 hr 30 min to 1 hr 45 min. We begin with a conversation about your main concern, general health, medical history, lifestyle, and what you would like support with. This also gives us time to discuss any relevant safety considerations before treatment begins. Acupuncture at Chemin Holistique is based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Five Element acupuncture. Each treatment is adapted to your individual needs and current presentation, whether your focus is mainly physical, emotional, or a mixture of both. Fine, sterile, single-use needles are gently inserted at selected points. Sensations are usually mild and may include light tingling, warmth, heaviness, or a deep sense of relaxation. Your session may also include moxibustion, cupping, or Gua Sha where appropriate. I will always explain what is being used, and you are welcome to ask questions, pause, decline, or stop any part of the session at any time. To support a safe and appropriate session, please let me know about any current health concerns, pregnancy, allergies, recent surgery or injuries, medication, or changes in your health or wellbeing. Acupuncture is offered as a complementary wellbeing approach. It may be used alongside conventional medical care, but it does not replace medical diagnosis, medical follow-up, or treatment from your doctor or healthcare professional.
