Prices:

Initial Consultation - 60 minutes: $125
Follow up Consultations - 60 minutes $110

Your First Consultation

At Melbourne Acupuncture and Wellness Centre, you will be required to fill in a new client and consent form upon arrival. Your initial consultation will include a thorough discussion of your health concerns followed up by treatment.

Follow Up Consultation

These are follow up treatments. Given the holistic approach of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), no two treatments are ever the same, however during most Acupuncture treatments Farzaneh will insert anywhere between 4 to 15 needles.

After inserting needles and applying a heat lamp to the area relating to the Meridian channel being worked on, Farzaneh will leave you to rest in a softly lit room filled with the sounds of ambient music for around 20 minutes.

The effect of Acupuncture and Chinese herbs are cumulative and it may take anywhere between 2 to 5 treatments before changes can occur in the body.

Checklist Before You Arrive

• Wear light and loose clothing so that you can be comfortable during your treatment
• Try to eat a light meal around 2 hours prior to your visit. It is best not to eat anything too heavy, nor be too hungry when undergoing an Acupuncture treatment
• Bring a list of any medications you are currently taking, including vitamin and mineral supplements
• Be honest in your lifestyle appraisal – this will help our Practitioners suggest a suitable treatment program for your specific set of health concerns
