Frequently Asked Questions

  • Chinese medicine works to restore balance in your body.

    We can think of our body like nature,

  • The first session is 75-90 minutes and allows Lydia to dive into your health history and look at the root of your symptoms. Starting with a discussion on your health history, checking your pulse and tongue before starting your treatment.

  • Chinese Medicine is a balancing system; we believe symptoms in the body are signs of disharmony of yin, yang, qi or blood. Therefore Chinese Medicine can provide relief for all symptoms, be that anxiety, pain, digestive issues, recovery.

    We commonly treat issues of menstrual cycle disharmony, low energy and burn out symptoms, digestive issues. We also treat clients that don’t have any ‘big issues’ and simply want to optimise their health and come in monthly.

  • We do not process insurance in-house; however, we are happy to provide you with a receipt that has the necessary coding for you to submit to your provider.

    We recommend checking with your insurance company to see if you are covered for acupuncture and, if so, what specific conditions your insurance company covers acupuncture for.

  • Most of our clients see us weekly for a period of 4-6 weeks and move to a bi weekly or monthly depending on symptoms.

    While a single treatment often provides immediate relaxation or temporary relief, a series of sessions in concession offers the opportunity to truly build something and address the issues you present with. The difference lies in the repetition, the deepening, and the fine-tuning that is only possible when we work together over a longer period.

    During a program of sessions, we take the time to not only address your symptoms but also to recognize and break the underlying patterns. Your body is given the space to respond, recover, and move forward on its own. 

    Do you want to get rid of recurring complaints or feel it's time for real change? Then a number of sessions weekly or biweekly is probably what you're looking for.
