After two sessions I had more relief than in six months of physio. Michael takes the time to actually understand what's happening.

FAQ

Is acupuncture safe?

Yes. All needles are single-use, sterile, and Michael is a fully accredited ATCM-registered practitioner following UK clinical safety standards.

How many sessions will I need?

This varies by person and by what you're seeking support for. Michael will discuss a suggested treatment plan with you during your consultation, tailored to your individual constitution.

What should I expect at my first appointment?

Your first visit includes a thorough consultation covering your health history, lifestyle, and current concerns, followed by your first treatment. Appointments typically run 60–75 minutes in total.

Does acupuncture hurt?

Most patients feel little to nothing beyond a brief, dull sensation as the needle is placed. Many find the experience deeply relaxing — it's common to feel sleepy or fully unwind during treatment.

Can I have acupuncture while pregnant?

Acupuncture is generally considered safe during pregnancy when delivered by a qualified practitioner, though some points are avoided. Please mention if you are pregnant when booking so Michael can tailor your treatment appropriately.

Do you offer herbal medicine alongside acupuncture?

Yes — herbal consultation is available as part of, or separate to, your acupuncture treatment plan, depending on what's most appropriate for you.

What's the difference between this and Vital Duo products?

Vital Duo is our range of everyday botanical wellness blends, designed for home use. Clinical treatment and herbal prescription happen here in the clinic, tailored specifically to you.
