FAQs
You can book online for all therapists.
Often, sessions can be tailored to your specific needs, so it's not so important which type of session you book. If unsure, contact the therapist.
​
If you have specific enquiries, you can contact the therapist directly.
​
Can I use my Private Health cover?
Yes. Most extras will cover acupuncture only. Usually you only need to pay the gap if your private heath fund is compatible with HICAPS. This amount will depend on your fund and level of cover. You may not be able to claim on the massage or the herbs.
​
Can I do an online session?
Yes - Telehealth is enabled for Somatic therapy, counseling and TRE®. TCM herbal medicine consultations can also be done online.
​
What about NDIS? Medicare rebates?
Sorry, NDIS no longer covers Somatic Therapy.
There are no medicare rebates for Acupuncture either, even though it is well recognized for helping with pain.
​
How many treatments will I need to have?
This is dependent on a number of factors, such as how long the health concern has been present. The number of treatments would be different for every individual. As an indication though, a course of Acupuncture treatment would often be 4-5 sessions. Some people find it so beneficial in times of stress they come weekly for support during times of intense pressure, emotional upheaval, or rehabilitation. Some people get immediate benefit, especially from pain. They only need to re-book as desired.
