We’re looking forward to welcoming you to the clinic. If this is your first acupuncture appointment, you may have questions about what to expect and how to prepare. This guide will help you feel comfortable and confident before your visit.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your arms and legs.
Acupuncture points are commonly located below the elbows and knees, so clothing that can roll up easily is ideal. Examples include:
Loose pants or leggings
Shorts
T-shirts or tops with sleeves that roll up
Comfortable layers
If needed, we also provide draping to ensure your privacy and comfort at all times.
A little preparation can help you get the most out of your treatment.
Before your appointment:
Eat a light meal or snack 1–2 hours beforehand (avoid coming on an empty stomach)
Stay hydrated
Avoid alcohol prior to treatment
Bring a list of medications or supplements you are taking
Arrive 10–15 minutes early to complete any necessary paperwork
During your first visit, we’ll complete a detailed health consultation to understand your concerns, medical history, and wellness goals. From there, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan and begin your session.
After treatment, many patients feel relaxed or slightly tired. We recommend allowing yourself time to rest and hydrate.
We aim to make the payment process simple and transparent.
Payment Options:
Payment is typically due at the time of service. We accept [insert accepted payment methods — e.g., EFTPOS, credit card, cash].
