Ah, the classic "as-needed" approach — totally understandable! Life gets busy, health feels okay-ish, and suddenly it’s six months later and you’re wondering if that one acupuncture session was just a lovely dream…

The short answer? You can absolutely book when you're feeling unwell — you're always welcome, whether you're in crisis mode or just need a tune-up. But here’s the thing: Chinese Medicine is at its most powerful when we use it not only to fix what’s wrong, but to keep you well in the first place.

Think of regular treatments as your body’s version of preventative maintenance — like brushing your teeth, getting good sleep, or taking your car in before it breaks down on the highway. Regular sessions allow us to spot subtle imbalances before they become big issues and help your body stay in that sweet spot of harmony, glow, and ease.

That doesn’t mean you need to come in weekly forever (unless you want to — I love seeing your face!). The frequency and rhythm of your visits depend on your goals and where you are in your health journey. During the early stages of care (especially if you’re dealing with chronic symptoms, a new health concern, or something skin-related), weekly sessions might be recommended to build momentum. Once things improve, we can scale back to fortnightly, monthly, or even seasonal check-ins — just like you would with a trusted wellness ally.

Of course, if you just want to pop in when you’re feeling under the weather, frazzled, or in need of a little energetic reset — that’s totally fine too. I’ll still roll out the red (or jade-green) carpet for you.

Ultimately, your health is a relationship — not a one-night stand. We’re here for the long-term glow-up, but you get to choose what kind of support works best for you.
