HOW DOES IT WORK?

Book Consultation
Once you book your consultation, we will establish a timeline and full history of all important events in your life.

Assessment
Based on the presentation of your symptoms (physical, emotional and otherwise), we will determine a pattern of imbalance.

Treatment Plan
A treatment strategy that involves acupuncture (and maybe cupping, Gua Sha and massage), tailored Chinese herbal medicine as well as diet and lifestyle advice will be discussed.

Medication
Once we agree on the treatment plan, you will be on your way, fully supported and empowered.
