Katika's Approach to Care.
Katika Funnell
Doctor of Chinese Medicine, Acupuncturist in Brookvale.
Each consultation begins with a detailed discussion of your symptoms, health history and lifestyle factors.
With over 20 years in practice, care is tailored to how symptoms are presenting and how your body is responding over time.
Our Brookvale clinic's treatments are not a "one-size fits-all" approach. Its about tailoring treatment to YOU and may be adjusted over time based on how your body responds.
The number and frequency of sessions depends on your individual presentation and goals and will be discussed in your session.
