What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a holistic approach to wellness that involves the strategic placement of thin needles into specific points on the body, aiming to stimulate the body's natural healing processes.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine philosophy, the body's vital energy, known as "Qi," flows through channels called meridians. When the flow of Qi is balanced, the body remains healthy; however, imbalances or blockages in this energy flow can lead to various health issues. Acupuncture is believed to restore the harmonious flow of Qi and promote overall wellbeing.
What acupuncture can help with:
Mental Health
Acupuncture is a holistic approach to health, addressing not only physical symptoms but also the mind-body connection. Acupuncture can be very effective in helping with mental health concerns, including stress, burn-out, anxiety, depression, low mood and fatigue as well as feelings of grief, overwhelm and worry.
Women's Health
Acupuncture can be effective in helping to manage conditions such as PMS/PMT, irregular, painful or no periods, PCOS, endometriosis and perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms such as brain fog and hot flashes. It can also be useful in assisting fertility and natural conception or alongside IVF, and is a safe treatment to have during pregnancy.
Physical Health
Acupuncture can stimulate various physiological responses that can benefit physical health. It is therefore beneficial in addressing a wide array of physical health issues, including digestive issues such as bloating or IBS, sports injuries, sciatica, back pain, headaches and migraines, skin conditions such as eczema or dermatitis, cold and flu symptoms, to name a few.

Frequently asked questions
Every person and every case is different, so the frequency and length of your treatment will be discussed on an individual basis.

During an initial consultation we will explore your current signs and symptoms, as well as your medical history, tongue and pulse to come up with a diagnosis according to Traditional Chinese Medicine. A treatment will be provided following the consultation.
Follow up appointments include a check in with your current symptoms. The number of follow ups required will be discussed on an individual basis.
It is recommended that you wear loose and comfortable clothing. You may be asked to undress down to your underwear, but towels will be provided.
As an acupuncturist, it is my duty to ensure that your are informed and comfortable throughout each treatment.
In general, acupuncture is not meant to be painful, and I strive to ensure that the process is as comfortable for you as possible. The needles used in acupuncture are much thinner than those used for injections or blood tests.
If you are a bit nervous on the day, do let me know and I will be sure to address any concerns you may have.
