Sometimes clients can feel the needles being inserted. Once in position, the needles are not felt.

Some clients bleed a little when needles are removed.

If your blood coagulates normally, you can have acupuncture. Your practitioner is likely to use fewer needles in your first treatment in order to assess your bleeding. More needles may be used at second and subsequent appointments.

Yes, but you might find yourself unable to receive the needles. You won’t be able to see the needles but we do use them. You may prefer for us to work with ear seeds in this instance.

Yes we can, please just let us know that this is your preference when you book.

Anyone who books an acupuncture session with Jennifer Young is welcome to bring a guest who has been diagnosed with cancer. Your guest will be gifted an auricular acupuncture treatment. Their treatment will be carried out in the same room as you at the same time as you receive your treatment. Your treatment beds are next to each other as are your treatment chairs.

In summary, you share your space with your guest at all times.

Anyone who books an acupuncture session with Jennifer Young is welcome to bring a guest who has been diagnosed with cancer. Your guest will be gifted an auricular acupuncture treatment.

Whilst we are delighted to welcome your guest we cannot provide you with contact details for someone who would like to join you. We work with a number of charities who can help you to find someone to accompany you.

Everyone is different.

We leave it to you to decide when you need us.

Some clients want regular treatments as a preventative/keep well measure.

Others prefer a course of treatments so that they can eradicate an issue which is concerning to them (a session of 5 appointments is most common).

No. We only need to get to your ears. If your practitioner wants to add body points into your treatment this will be done after full discussion and consent and, even then, you probably won’t have to get undressed.

Practitioners in the Jennifer Young Clinic will never work with someone affected by cancer if they are unwell.

We ask clients to re-arrange their appointment if unwell.
We use sterile needles which are disposed if in a sharps box.

We assume everyone has low immunity and our clinic protocols reflect this assumption.

A probe and magnet are sometimes used, these are disinfected between uses and they are not used on broken skin.

We have strict and rigorous hygiene protocols in place. You will see all practitioners at the Jennifer Young clinic washing their hands regularly.

Don’t worry, we’ve got you. We can use needles to calm you. One of our most nervous clients described the impact of one needle (her first) as like being in a warm bath. Another described the experience as being wrapped, all over in a heated blanket.

We understand you might be nervous, we are used to it and we are confident that you will enjoy the experience as well as benefiting from it.

Yes. Many NHS centres and cancer support charities offer courses of auricular acupuncture. We are not alone in recognising the benefits of this therapy to those affected by cancer.
