SOMETHING TO CONSIDER
Today, most acupuncture treatments involve the practitioner inserting the needles and letting the person rest for 45-60 minutes, whilst they move onto treating multiple rooms (can be up to 7 additional people within the hour). It wasn’t always this way, in classical times, the Chinese Medicine doctor would stay with the patient and create a transformative healing space by truly connecting with the client, in the way that they most need at the time. Helena practices this way, and you have her full attention, care and undivided attention. Whilst it’s a much less profitable business model, she believes that one can go much deeper this way with more positive results. Whilst the practice is strongly rooted in scientific principles, the magic in healing comes to life when the heart is also a key participant, in the most trauma informed way.

HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO COME IN?
The effects of acupuncture are accumulative. Weekly appointments are recommended for the first month. After this a treatment plan is considered, according to your concerns and needs.

DO THE NEEDLES HURT?
The needles used are tiny, like a strand of hair, and definitely nothing like needles used to withdraw blood or inject vaccinations. Overall, it’s not painful and extremely relaxing. Some areas of the of the body are more sensitive, so one can feel a very quick sting, but that lasts less than a second. Most people don’t find it painful, however we are all different and a small percentage are more sensitive than others. I respectfully work with where you’re at, and never push you past your comfort level. Creating a safe space for you is my number one priority, and the scariest thing here is just getting over the mental fear.
