Acupuncture at our Wills Street clinic begins with a structured assessment, ensuring every needle placement has a clear purpose and intended outcome.
01 / How we work
Every consultation begins with a structured assessment: pulse diagnosis, abdominal palpation, and detailed questions about your health history and current concerns. Rather than considering each finding in isolation, we look at how they fit together to form a broader picture of your health.
Once this picture is clear, we develop your treatment plan. We explain what we’ve found, what we recommend and why, and the changes you may notice as treatment progresses - so you understand the reasoning behind each decision.
02 / What to expect
Our approach to acupuncture, moxibustion and cupping is grounded in East Asian medicine, drawing on practices refined over centuries. For acupuncture, we use fine, single-use needles and gentle, shallow techniques, prioritising your comfort throughout treatment.
Where clinically appropriate, acupuncture may be combined with Chinese herbal medicine as part of the same consultation. We monitor your progress by tracking changes in your symptoms and the clinical signs identified during your assessment, giving us a clear, structured basis for guiding each stage of care.
03 / Fees and booking
Your initial consultation is $150 and runs for 60 minutes. It includes an assessment for both acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, allowing us to recommend either or both where clinically appropriate. Follow-up consultations are $120.
A $60 booking fee is required for all appointments and is deducted from your consultation fee. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice incur a $90 fee. You’ll receive email and text reminders two days before your appointment. Herbal medicine, if prescribed, is charged separately.
