What is acupuncture and what does it treat?
Traditional Chinese Medicine is made up of five branches (Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, Tuina Massage, Nutrition, Qigong) and is an ancient healing modality dating back over 2500 years.
The art of acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine needles in specific points which disperses tension and restores the body’s natural flow within the inner channels (Meridians). The body is mostly made up of water and when the flow of water is impeded, the water may become turbid which can lead to stagnation which can manifest as illness or pain.
Robust research has shown that acupuncture can be an effective form of treatment for many pain conditions, musculoskeletal conditions, digestive issues as well as stress and emotional imbalances.
My approach
I am a fully licensed and insured British Acupuncture Council practitioner, I graduated for the Northern School of Acupuncture after 3years of training in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Biomedical Science.
My acupuncture treatments are inspired by the five element theory and our inherent connection with nature. As the microcosm of the macrocosm, the world around us flows within us. We are all made up of these five elements and five seasons which represent our different parts. After 10 years of teaching yoga and practicing therapeutically, I believe that the body is not a broken machine that needs fixing but a beautiful garden that requires nurturance and nourishment.
I offer nurturing treatments with a unique approach by blending traditional acupuncture with aromatherapy and therapeutic massage.
I have a passion for supporting women to find harmony in their menstrual cycle as well as advocating acupuncture as a preventative approach to health and wellbeing.
