Katy has given me so much help both pre & post heart surgery, which was a massive support both physically & mentally.

I initially sought acupuncture for relief from my ME symptoms, which had been a constant challenge. From the very first session, Katy exhibited a deep understanding and a compassionate approach, creating a tailored treatment plan that addressed my specific needs. Over time, the results were astonishing. Thanks to her guidance and skillful application of acupuncture, I gained control over my ME symptoms to a degree I never thought possible.

Your questions answered
It shouldn’t hurt but you will feel something. Often described as a warmth, tingling, or pulling sensation, the feeling varies from person to person. This sensation is known as ‘de qi’ and it signals that the acupuncture needle has connected with the patient’s energy. Read more…
How much does acupuncture cost?
Lots of factors affect the cost of acupuncture. Firstly location makes a big difference. Also the experience and specialisation of the practitioner as well as types and duration of treatments. There are ways to save including insurance and buying treatment in packages.
How many acupuncture sessions will I need?
The frequency and number of treatments will depend on the severity and complexity of your symptoms. A shorter course of 6 sessions is common for acute conditions. For more chronic or complex conditions you will most likely need to come weekly for a bit longer.
