3. Cancellation Policy

Please note my cancellation policy, which mandates a minimum of 48 hours’ notice for most bookings.

Notice periods:

For bookings scheduled after 4pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, a 96-hour (4-day) notice is required for cancellations.
For all other time slots, 48 hours notice is sufficient for cancellations.

If you’ve completed an online payment and wish to cancel within the notice periods as stated above, regrettably, refunds cannot be issued.

4. Consent for Treatment

By booking online or submitting the initial consultation form, you consent to the following aftercare advice and acknowledgment of potential side effects and risks associated with acupuncture treatment:

Aftercare Advice:

  • Drink plenty of water to aid rebalancing and hydrating of the body.
  • Refrain from vigorous exercise after treatment and give yourself time to rest.
  • Avoid alcohol consumption for several hours after treatment.


Potential Side Effects:

Drowsiness, minor bleeding or bruising, pain, soreness, and temporary skin marks may occur after treatment. Existing symptoms may temporarily worsen after treatment. Fainting may occur, particularly during the first treatment.

Risks:

Acupuncture carries a risk of cross-infection, which is minimised by using single-use, sterilised, disposable needles and following British Acupuncture Council guidelines.

Please inform me of any medical conditions or factors that may affect your treatment to ensure your safety and well-being.

5. Insurance

I am fully insured and adhere to professional standards in my practice. Recognised by AXA, VitalityHealth and Aviva insurers.
