First Visit Guide
Here’s what your first session will be like:
1. Initial Consultation
-
At the beginning of your initial consultation David will ask you several questions regarding your health concerns and objectives for the session, to get a clear understanding of your health and wellbeing.
He will also check your pulse and look at your tongue, which are important parts of Chinese medicine diagnosis.
2. Your treatment
-
Which may consist of:
Acupuncture: Fine, sterile gently placed needles on precise points on your body to treat your pathologies, stimulate energy flow and encourage natural healing.
Cupping: Silicone cups are placed on specific areas of the body to create gentle suction. This helps release muscular tension, increase circulation, and support detoxification. Cupping can be especially helpful for tight shoulders, back pain, or areas of stagnant energy (Qi).
Herbal Wellness: Chinese herbal remedies that address root causes and further accelerate your healing journey.
Sound Healing: Therapeutic instruments such as singing bowls, didgeridoo may be used to support deeper relaxation and nervous system regulation. The sound vibrations help reduce stress, calm the mind, and create a restorative state that complements your acupuncture treatment.
Lifestyle Guidance: You may receive supportive lifestyle or dietary suggestions to help reinforce the work done in your session and encourage steady progress in your daily life.
3. Moving forward with a plan

This plan is shaped by your goals, your health history, and what revealed itself during the initial session.
