Yes, treatments are paid by pin immediately afterwards. You will then receive the invoice by email.

No, you can submit the invoice to your health insurer yourself if you have additional acupuncture insurance.

No, that is not necessary. You can make an appointment directly.

An intake and first treatment take 60—90 minutes, follow-up sessions approximately 45 minutes.

Body acupuncture uses points on the body to restore energy and blood flow. Ear acupuncture focuses on reflex zones in the ear; small needles or earseeds can be placed that stay in place for a few days.

Fire cupping is a traditional method where heated glass cups are placed on the skin. The mild negative pressure stimulates blood flow, reduces muscle tension and removes waste products. It is effective for stuck shoulders, back pain, stress and colds. Slight discolorations disappear on their own within a few days.

Yes, acupuncture is a safe treatment method when performed by a qualified and experienced therapist. ZenEra works with disposable sterile needles and according to the NVA's hygiene and quality guidelines.

After about three treatments, it is usually easy to assess whether acupuncture has an effect. You often notice a clear improvement in your symptoms and more rest and energy after the first or second session. The number of treatments varies from person to person and depends on the nature and duration of your complaint. In case of chronic or recurring complaints, monthly maintenance treatment can help maintain balance. For those who would like regular support, Zenera also offers a membership, which allows you to continue working on your well-being on a fixed basis.

Yes. The Deep Tissue Massage focuses on deeper muscle and connective tissue and helps with tension, stiffness or overload.

Yes. Moxa is a warming therapy that uses the herb Ai Ye (mugwort) to stimulate specific points. In a breech position, Moxa can help the baby to turn naturally around weeks 33—35. The treatment is safe and is often combined with instruction so that you can continue at home.

Appointments can be canceled or rescheduled free of charge up to 48 hours in advance. In case of cancellations within 48 hours or if you fail to show up for the appointment (no-show), the full treatment will be charged.
