It all begins with you
Restore balance back to your health with the ancient healing method of acupuncture — and leave your treatment with clarity of how your circulation is impacting the symptoms you're feeling.
Your treatment
Balance, clarity, function
Acupuncture regulates hormone levels, decreases stress and restores function for overall improvement of your wellbeing.
Health issues treated include — but are not limited to — headaches, fatigue, poor sleep, pain, anxiety and menstrual issues. At Bnourishd wellness it is used the way it works best: as part of a whole-person plan, because what is driving your symptoms is different to the next person's, even when the symptom looks the same.

Your experience
What to expect
01
A full conversation first
From the moment you arrive your senses are met with essential oils burning and hot herbal tea. You fill out a health history form so we can establish a thorough picture of your current state of health.
02
Your pulse tells the story
During the health history portion your pulse is taken. Its subtle sensation, structure and quality offer a window into previous illnesses, behavioural patterns, emotional conditions and environmental stressors.
03
A clear explanation, then treatment
A comprehensive explanation of Chinese medicine and your doctor's findings forms the basis of your first acupuncture session. Then acupuncture is administered — don't panic, it's not painful!
04
Support between visits
You leave with information on what to expect after treatment and how to record how you feel, so your response can shape the treatment plan recommended for you.
Initial consult & acupuncture · 90 minutes
A thorough health history, pulse reading, your first acupuncture treatment and a comprehensive explanation of your Chinese medical findings — plus take-home information on what to expect after treatment.
Follow up acupuncture · 60 minutes
Your treatment response shapes the plan that follows. Your unique protocol may include acupuncture, herbal remedies, diet therapy and/or remedial massage — devised after thorough assessment of how you responded.

Common questions
+Does acupuncture hurt?
The needles are hair-fine, nothing like an injection. You may feel a brief tingle or dull ache as the point engages, then most people relax deeply — some doze off during treatment.
+How many sessions will I need?
It depends what we are treating, and your response to the first treatment plays an important role in shaping your plan. Recent injuries or stress often respond quickly, while long-standing concerns usually benefit from a course of treatments for optimal results. At your first visit you get an honest estimate.
+Is it safe alongside my other care?
Yes. Acupuncture works well alongside GP care, medication, IVF and other manual therapies. We always want the full picture of what you are doing so we can support it, not work against it.
+Can I claim private health rebates?
Yes — private health rebates are available for acupuncture with us. Bring your health fund card to your appointment and we will provide what you need to claim.
+Do I need to prepare for a session?
Come as you are. It helps to have eaten lightly beforehand and to bring a list of any medications or supplements, plus recent blood test results if you have them.
