Acupuncture & Naturopathy Initial

Service Description

A comprehensive first appointment that blends naturopathic medicine with acupuncture to address your symptoms from both a functional and Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective. We’ll start with an in-depth health assessment covering your main concerns, medical history, digestion and gut health, sleep, stress and nervous system patterns, energy, skin, and hormones/cycle health (if relevant). I’ll also complete a TCM assessment (including tongue and pulse) to understand your underlying pattern and how best to support your body’s healing capacity. From there, we’ll map out a clear, personalised plan which may include targeted nutrition guidance, lifestyle strategies, and evidence-informed supplement or herbal recommendations. Functional testing can also be discussed and ordered to further pinpoint and imbalances. You’ll then receive an acupuncture treatment tailored to your goals, with optional supportive techniques such as cupping, moxibustion, gua sha, or acupuncture if indicated. You’ll leave the session with a clear strategy, next steps, and a recommended treatment schedule so you know exactly what we’re doing and why. Best for: complex or chronic concerns, gut–skin–hormone presentations, stress and burnout, cycle irregularities/PCOS/PMS, inflammatory skin conditions, or anyone wanting a thorough whole-body approach from day one.
