Cancellation policy
We require at least 48 hours' noticeto cancel or reschedule an appointment. Cancellations made with less than 48 hours' notice will be charged the full session fee, except in genuine emergencies, which are assessed at Annmarie's discretion.
If you need to cancel, please contact us as soon as possible by email at hello@thelittleacupunctureclinic.com.
Late arrivals
If you arrive late, your session will end at the originally scheduled time. This is to ensure fairness to all patients. The full session fee will apply.
No-shows
Failure to attend an appointment without notice will be charged at the full session rate. Repeated no-shows may result in being asked to pre-pay future bookings.
Payment
Payment is due at the time of your session. We accept cash and bank transfer. Session fees are:
- ✦First session (75 minutes): £60
- ✦Follow-up sessions (60 minutes): £55
Health & consent
Please let us know in advance if you are pregnant, have any serious health conditions, or are taking medication that may affect treatment. Acupuncture is generally very safe, but some conditions require modified treatment.
By booking a session you consent to receiving acupuncture treatment from Annmarie Gabriel, and confirm that you have disclosed all relevant health information.
Scope of practice
The Little Acupuncture Clinic focuses on Five Element Chinese medicine, women's health, menopause, hormonal wellbeing and emotional health. We do not offer musculoskeletal or sports injury treatment. If this is what you are looking for, we are happy to signpost you elsewhere.
Changes to availability
While Annmarie does everything possible to honour confirmed appointments, clinic days are subject to change. In the unlikely event that we need to cancel your appointment, we will contact you as soon as possible and offer an alternative time at no extra cost.
