Acupuncture Treatments

New Patient Acupuncture

Your initial acupuncture consultation consists of an in-depth analysis of you. We consider your main complaint, past medical history, current health symptoms and consider your future health goals too. If you’re seeking support with fertility, please book the fertility support treatment appropriate to your gender assigned at birth.

We ask a range of questions investigating your sleep, digestion, mental health, stress management, and hormonal health to gain a holistic perspective of you.

Together, we'll create a treatment plan to address your health goals. This includes acupuncture treatments, Chinese diet therapy, stretches, lifestyle advice and any further resources that may be applicable. Often patients will receive handouts of more information.

Following consultation, fine needles will be inserted into the skin at the most appropriate acupuncture points for you. This is where you get to relax, lie down, and close your eyes. When the time is done, you'll gently be woken, and can ease yourself back to reality, hopefully a little calmer and lighter.

Allow 60-75 minutes for this consultation, a 50% deposit is required to confirm booking.

New Patient Acupuncture for Female Fertility Support (assigned at birth female)

This treatment is specifically for Females or individuals with a uterus. It is an in-depth dive into your hormones, your menstrual cycle, past history of birth control, supplements, medications, medical history, if you have tried IVF/IUI in the past or if you're looking at trying it in the future.

Here at Ochre we believe fertility shouldn't be overwhelming. So we encourage all our patients to stop googling, and start asking us the questions so we can give you relevant answers pertinent to you. We see everyone as individuals, and fertility can be optimised with acupuncture and herbal medicine. If herbal medicine is suited to you, it will be recommended during your acupuncture consultation.

Working with hormones requires deep patience due to the nature of hormones, and also how long it takes for your body to create an egg (90 days). You will be noticing improvements throughout your treatment regime, but do bear in mind fertility support is not a one of treatment. Weekly treatments is recommended for 6-12 months. If you fall pregnant during this timeframe wonderful! We can switch your appointments to pregnancy support, especially during the first trimester where it can be a delicate time.

We will always be honest and upfront with you. We have a deep passion for helping bring babies into the world, as Dr. Chloe herself is an IVF baby!

Standard Acupuncture

This treatment continues the patient’s progress on their goals from their previous treatment. It also addresses any issues that may have arisen since their last appointment.

Following consultation, fine needles will be inserted into the skin at the most appropriate acupuncture points for the patient.

The selection of points increase circulation of qi and blood in the body and aim to restore the body back into balance. Moxibustion, the burning of the herb mugwort (Artemisia) may also be used during consultation, as may cupping & a short massage if the practitioner deems it to be beneficial for the patient’s case.
