Let's clear something up first: acupuncture needles are nothing like the ones at the GP. They're about as fine as a hair, so thin that several fit inside a standard injection needle. Most people are pleasantly surprised; some are mildly offended they spent so long worrying about it.
So what actually happens? Your first visit begins with a proper conversation about your health, your sleep, your stress levels and what's brought you in. Then you lie back, get comfortable, and a handful of needles are placed at carefully chosen points. You rest for around 20 to 30 minutes while they do their thing. Many people describe it as the calmest half hour of their week; plenty drift off entirely.
Laura has a particular interest in women's health and works with many patients during hormonal transitions, including perimenopause and menopause, and alongside fertility journeys. Sessions are tailored to you and can sit comfortably alongside any care you're already receiving from your GP or clinic.
Acupuncture has been practised for over two thousand years, and at Clear Space we combine that tradition with a grounded, evidence-aware approach and a lot of care. No chanting, no judgement, no pressure; just skilled hands, a quiet room and time that's entirely yours.
Curious? That's the best place to start. Book in and see what all the fuss is about.
