Common Questions About Acupuncture Treatment
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral?
No, you can book directly. Acupuncture and remedial massage do not require a GP referral.
Does acupuncture hurt?
Most people feel little to no discomfort. The needles are very fine—nothing like an injection. Many clients find treatments deeply relaxing.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the condition and how long you’ve had it. Some clients feel a shift after one session, while others benefit from a short series. We’ll discuss your treatment plan during your first visit.
What should I wear?
Loose, comfortable clothing is best. You may be asked to roll up sleeves or pant legs depending on the points used.
Can I claim private health rebates?
Yes, we offer health fund rebates for both acupuncture and remedial massage. Check with your provider to confirm your coverage.

Client Testimonials
Stomy Jose took the time to truly understand my health concerns and lifestyle. After just a few acupuncture sessions, my sleep improved, and I felt calmer and more balanced. The space is calming, and I always leave feeling renewed.
