Here we take a very person centred approach to your treatment aiming to make you feel as relaxed and at ease throughout every moment of your session. Within the sessions we start off with a consultation that isnt just about various health issues you may have but so we can understand you and how these are impacting your life with the treatment the focusing on helping you to take control and be able to reduce the impact so that you can get back towards how life was before.
As everyone has different times they can come for treatments we offer appoints on week days as well as Saturday and Sunday too with mornings afternoon and evening appointments available to be booked. Equally if you are struggling to find a time suitable for you then give us a call as often we have appointments available outside of our booking system, especially as you can not book within 16 hours online.
Along with Acupuncture in the treatments, any other modalities that may be needed can be incorporated into the treatment sessions. As everyone has a different situation that has brought them here, we cant expect the same treatment to be for everyone. This could be from the location of the needles or time they are in but also from cupping, moxibustion, massage, reflexology or many other modalities that James can do which can be mentioned in the booking form or within the consultation too.
Over the years of practice here James has managed to build up a great reputation and has been selected as one of the best three acupuncturists within Nottingham by the website three best rated. Despite this James is always going on various training courses, studying further and keeping up to date on the latest treatment ideas and research within the area so that the sessions he offer will always be the best he possibly can.
His treatment room, has been uniquely designed so that you feel right at home and greatly aids to the relaxation. This includes mood lighting so that a colour of environment can be selected that makes you feel at ease, a scented humidifier can be used, as well as a small water feature in the corner so their can be the background noises of splashing water. Of course all of these can be switched off too if they are not your preferred choice. There is also a memory foam couch for extra comfort, along with a starry forest sky tapestry on the ceiling above the couch so that you can lay there relaxed and drift away.
