FAQs
How long is a session?
Appointments typically last around 45–60 minutes. Needle-retention time varies depending on the treatment.
Is the treatment the same quality as I would get in a private room?
Yes, you receive a full acupuncture treatment tailored to you. The main difference is the shared setting, which helps keep costs down.
Who is the clinic suitable for?
Multibed clinics suit most people, especially those looking for affordable ongoing treatment. If you require more in-depth discussion, complex case management, or prefer full privacy, a one-to-one appointment may be more appropriate.
Is it safe?
Yes. Treatments are carried out by a trained and qualified practitioner using sterile, single-use needles. Hygiene standards are the same as in any acupuncture setting.
Can I attend if I'm pregnant?
Yes, acupuncture is generally considered safe at all stages of pregnancy. It can be very helpful for easing discomfort associated with pregnancy and for supporting preparation for labour. If your pregnancy is high-risk, it’s best to check with your health-care provider before booking. If you are pregnant, please let us know during your consultation so we can tailor the treatment appropriately.
How do bookings and payment work?
We operate a sliding-scale payment model, allowing you to choose what you pay based on your income. Full details are available on our bookings page. All sessions must be booked and paid for in advance.
What is a multi-bed acupuncture clinic?
A multi-bed clinic is a shared treatment space where several people receive acupuncture at the same time. Each client has their own treatment couch and personal space, while the practitioners move between patients.
Why choose a multi-bed clinic?
This setup allows us to offer treatments at a lower cost while still maintaining high-quality professional care. Many people also enjoy the calm, community atmosphere.
Is there enough privacy?
Yes. Although the space is shared, there are screens between treatment couches to provide visual privacy and consultations are conducted quietly to protect your personal information.
What if I need treatment in a private area (e.g. hips or glutes)?
If your treatment involves an area that needs extra privacy - like hips or glutes - we will put up extra screens around your treatment space and use appropriate draping to make sure you feel as comfortable as possible.
