About the Business

My interest in the body and how it moves began at about the age of 12 when I found a yoga book of my mother's. A stubborn back injury at the age of 15 then taught me how debilitating and personality changing protracted pain can be; and how quickly resolved with the appropriate therapy.

This interest in anatomy and body function inspired me to study remedial massage and then to investigate additional techniques and therapies when I realised that I needed other skills to achieve the best treatment results.

Through personal experience I then discovered the amazing power of acupuncture to stimulate the body's own healing processes and finally, having used acupuncture for over 10 years to address all my own muscular problems, allergies, headaches and menstrual issues, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to study it myself; all of which has led to the qualifications below.

Traditional Acupuncture

What Is It?

Traditional Acupuncture is a holistic therapy originating in the Far East over 2,000 years ago and is a branch of Chinese Medicine. Based on health and good function, it maintains that Qi (vital energy) runs throughout the body in a complex network of inter-relating meridians. When Qi flows smoothly in all directions the body, mind and emotions are nourished and work in harmony and you enjoy good health. When this flow is disturbed, perhaps due to injury or trauma, stress or poor nutrition, imbalance occurs and pain or illness appear.

Thus, acupuncture treatments work to restore the body's equilibrium which means that it is always focused on you as an individual. Your symptoms are considered in relation to each other and in the context of your physical, mental and emotional states and this gives a unique picture. It also explains why two people with an identical Western diagnosis may receive different acupuncture treatment.

Your Initial Consultation:

At your first appointment, I will ask you detailed questions about your specific symptoms and general health, such as sleep patterns, digestion and allergies. If you are a woman, we will also discuss your periods and hormones. Once I have felt your pulses on both wrists and looked at your tongue, I will make a diagnosis according to traditional Chinese Medicine patterns and this will form the basis of your individualised treatment plan.

The Treatment:

I will insert fine, sterile single use needles into a few acupuncture points and leave them in for about 20 minutes. The needles are so fine that frequently nothing much is felt when they are inserted. Moxa (stimulating acupuncture points with heat), cupping (a painless way of relieving very tight muscles or moving stagnant Qi in acupuncture speak) and auricular acupuncture may also be used.

A treatment plan will be discussed with you as not everyone requires the same number of treatments. Typically, four appointments one week apart are recommended at the outset, after which we review progress. The majority of my patients decide to continue treatment but at a frequency which is suitable for their needs; this can vary from weekly to three monthly.
