Booking an Appointment

Please note our practice is available by appointment only

You can find further information about appointments by scrolling to the bottom of this page. We also have a FAQ page if you have further questions or queries about acupuncture treatment before making a booking.

Payment

Payment can be made when you make a booking via secure credit card processing (Stripe) if you would like to prepay for your appointment. Alternatively, you can make payment on the day of your appointment. Payment options are are: online bank transfer or cash if you are paying on the day of your appointment. If you require an invoice or receipt I can send this to you via email on the day of your appointment.

Cancellation Policy

If for any reason you are unable to attend your appointment with less than 48 hours notice you will be charged the full payment of your session. Consideration may be made if you are genuinely unable to attend your appointment due to an emergency or illness. Payment is due on receipt of an invoice on the day of your missed appointment. Please note, if for any reason you are running more than 15 mins late, and you have not let the practitioner know, they may not be able to reschedule your appointment or offer a shorter treatment if they have another client booked soon after. For this reason, your appointment may need to be cancelled if you are more than 15 mins late.

Home Visits

Home visits are available for postpartum acupuncture, or for those who are unable to attend the clinic. A small travel fee will be negotiated, depending on where you live in Tauranga Moana.

ACC Treatments

For your injury to be accepted by ACC you first need to have your injury assessed by a GP or other medical doctor, osteopath, physiotherapist or chiropractor. If your injury has been accepted by ACC, and is within 1 year since the date of the injury, you are eligible to have acupuncture treatment alongside any other ACC - funded treatment you may be having. Please bring your ACC claim details with you to your initial appointment. ACC cover for birth injuries is not currently available for acupuncture treatments. For more information about how to get ACC support after a birth injury you can find this on the ACC website, or chat with your midwife/LMC or medical doctor.
