Is acupuncture safe? Does it hurt?

Yes — acupuncture is very safe when performed by a licensed, trained practitioner, using sterile, single-use needles. Most people feel little more than a light pinch, if anything, as the needle is inserted, followed by a sense of deep relaxation during the treatment itself.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends entirely on what you’re being treated for and how long you’ve been dealing with it — some people notice a shift after one or two visits, while longer-standing or more complex concerns (like fertility or hormone support) usually benefit from a series of visits over a few months. We’ll talk through a realistic plan together at your first visit rather than lock you into anything up front.

Is this covered by insurance?

Acupuncture and naturopathic medicine in Sweden are generally private-pay and aren’t covered by Försäkringskassan. If you have a private supplementary insurance plan (sjukvårdsförsäkring), check with your provider — some plans do cover visits like these.

What conditions do you work with?

Fertility and hormone balance, burnout and stress, pain, and digestive issues are among the areas I see most often, drawing on 15 years of experience — but naturopathic medicine and acupuncture support a wide range of concerns. If you’re not sure whether your situation is a fit, feel free to reach out before booking.

Do you see patients online, or only in Stockholm?

Both. In-person visits are at Kommendörsgatan 9 in Stockholm; online consultations are available for anyone, wherever you’re based, and cover everything except hands-on acupuncture itself.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Just yourself, comfortable clothing, and any recent relevant lab results or medical history you think would be useful — though nothing is required in advance.

Do you prescribe herbs or supplements?

Yes, when appropriate — herbal and nutritional recommendations are often part of a treatment plan, personalized to your visit rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.

How do I book, or change/cancel an appointment?

Booking is done directly online, with real-time availability and exact current pricing, via our booking page. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please give at least 24 hours’ notice.

What payment methods do you accept?

Card, Swish, and invoice.
