A one-to-one session where we listen to your story, assess your pattern, and design a personalised plan to help your body return toward balance.
At iW TCM, we believe that every individual is unique — and so is every consultation. Instead of only matching symptoms with a fixed formula, we look at how your body functions as a whole, and identify the underlying patterns that may be causing imbalance.
A TCM consultation is more than just answering “Where does it hurt?”. It is a detailed conversation and assessment designed to understand how your body is functioning as a whole.
Instead of focusing only on isolated symptoms, we look at:
How your symptoms started and changed over time
Your sleep, digestion, energy levels, emotions, and stress
Your daily habits — work pattern, diet, activity level, and environment
From there, we identify the TCM pattern (or patterns) behind your condition — such as deficiency, stagnation, or imbalance between organs — and recommend a plan aimed at supporting your body’s own ability to recover and maintain health.
Your Experience
What to Expect During Your Visit
Your consultation follows a clear, structured process so you know what is happening at each step.
Step 1
Registration & Basic Info
We start by collecting your basic details and a brief health background. This helps us keep your records organised and ensure continuity of care.
Step 2
Personal Health Discussion
We have a thorough conversation about your main concerns, how they affect your daily life, and any related symptoms — including sleep, digestion, mood, energy, and stress levels.
Step 3
Diagnosis
Using classical TCM methods such as tongue observation and pulse reading, we assess the state of your qi, blood, fluids, and organ systems. This helps us understand the pattern behind your symptoms.
Step 4
Explanation & Personalised Plan
We explain our findings in clear language — how we understand your condition in TCM terms — and discuss a plan that may include acupuncture, herbal medicine, and lifestyle advice.
Why It Matters
Benefits of a TCM Consultation
Identifying and addressing the root pattern behind recurring symptoms.
Seeing how different issues (sleep, digestion, pain, mood) may be connected.
Gaining clarity on chronic or vague symptoms that haven’t been well explained.
Receiving a personalised plan instead of a one-size-fits-all remedy.
Learning how daily habits, diet, and stress are affecting your condition.
Supporting your body’s natural tendency to rebalance, rather than only suppressing symptoms.
Suitable For
Who Is It For?
A TCM consultation is suitable if you:
Have recurring discomforts such as pain, poor sleep, digestive issues, or low energy.
Have tried various approaches but still feel that something isn’t fully resolved.
Prefer a more holistic, pattern-based explanation of your health.
Want to support your body gently and steadily rather than aggressively.
Are generally well, but wish to maintain wellness and prevent future imbalance.
Our Philosophy
Our Approach: Rooted in Tradition, Focused on You
At iW TCM, we combine classical Chinese medicine training with a calm, patient-centred approach. We do not rush through your consultation; instead, we take time to listen, observe, and explain.
We use classical pattern differentiation, not just symptom matching.
We explain our thinking so you understand your own pattern better.
We recommend what is appropriate, not simply the strongest or most expensive option.
We respect your pace and preferences, and adjust the plan accordingly.
Our goal is not only to treat you when you are unwell, but also to help you understand your body more clearly, so that you can make informed, sustainable choices for your health.
