Frequently asked questions

  • We’ve had very little trouble with clients claiming their sessions back on insurance. We recommend checking with your provider before booking though.

  • Please refer to our pricing structure on the Appointments page.

  • Most people are surprised by how gentle Five Element Acupuncture is. We only ever use one very fine needle at a time, and unlike other styles, the needle isn’t left in - it’s quickly removed once it has done its job. You might feel a quick sensation or dull ache, but it’s usually fleeting and many clients find the experience deeply calming.

  • Not at all. If booking both Five Element Acupuncture and Theta Healing feels like too much to begin with, just book an initial consultation. We’ll take it from there - talking through your options, how it all works, and what would serve you best.

  • There’s no one “right” reason to come. Some people arrive feeling burnt out or overwhelmed, others are working through something they can’t quite put their finger on. You don’t need a diagnosis or a big story - just a willingness to begin. We’ll meet you where you are.

  • It really depends on what brings you in. Some people feel a shift after just one session, but deeper change tends to come with consistency. That’s why we offer our six-week integrated programme - a structured space for transformation. But if that feels like too much to begin with, we can take it one step at a time.

  • Yes - both Five Element Acupuncture and Theta Healing can be safely adapted for pregnancy and postpartum. We’re experienced in working with this life stage and will tailor your care to meet you (and your baby) exactly where you are. Just let us know when you book.

  • Five Element Acupuncture goes beyond symptoms. It works with the deeper patterns underneath - the emotional, mental, and spiritual layers that shape how we feel. It’s less about treating “what’s wrong” and more about bringing you back into balance so that your body can do what it’s built to do: heal.

  • Theta is a talk-based energy healing technique that works with the subconscious mind - where most of our beliefs, patterns and emotional blocks live. It’s like updating the operating system that’s been quietly running the show. You don’t need to fully understand it for it to work - just a willingness to explore what’s beneath the surface.
