Our approach to care
Every consultation begins with a detailed conversation. We take time to understand your current concerns, general health, medical history, medicines and supplements, and what you hope to achieve from treatment.
Traditional Chinese medicine uses an individualised approach. Your practitioner considers the complete presentation rather than relying on one symptom alone. Where appropriate, care may involve acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, cupping, moxibustion or Gua Sha.
We explain the proposed approach, what to expect and any relevant precautions before treatment. Chinese medicine may be used alongside conventional healthcare where appropriate; it does not replace necessary medical diagnosis, investigation or emergency care.
A calm, professional clinic
The clinic provides a private setting for consultations and treatment. Appointments are scheduled to allow adequate time for discussion, assessment and questions.
