Experience the Power of Acupuncture
From pain relief to stress management, my tailored acupuncture treatments are designed to support your body and mind, helping you feel your best every day.
Acupuncture is a branch of traditional medicine that has been practised in China and the Far East for thousands of years. A growing body of evidence-based clinical research is discovering how the body responds to acupuncture and its benefits for a wide range of common health conditions.
Also known as cosmetic acupuncture or facial rejuvenation acupuncture, Facial Enhancement Acupuncture was established in 2004 and is now practised worldwide. It is a totally natural way of reducing the signs of ageing.
As a woman I am passionate about treating all aspects of women’s health. This ranges from issues such as acupuncture for fertility (either as a standalone treatment or alongside IVF/ICSI), pregnancy related issues, menopausal/ perimenopausal symptoms, PCOS, amenorrhoea, dysmenorrhea, PMS, endometriosis and more.
Moxibustion (or moxa) is a therapeutic adjunctive technique of classical Chinese medicine. It is a Chinese herb made from common mugwort (artemisia vulgaris). Due to its warming nature, moxa has a stimulating effect on the body, helps to build energy levels and enhances the effects of acupuncture by warming & nourishing specific points or areas of the body.
Cupping can be used as an adjunctive technique alongside acupuncture or it can be a treatment in its own right. The suction causes the skin and superficial muscle layer to be drawn into the cup. Occasionally you may have a ‘bruised’ appearance in the shape of the cups on the area of the body stimulated. Research has shown that no blood vessels are broken and the muscles have not been traumatised in any way. The redness indicates there has been an increase in the circulation under the cups. Benefits of cupping include:
• Encourages circulation.
• Assists adhesions and scarring by lifting, separating, and hydrating the muscle tissues.
• Clears inflammation, congestion and stagnation of the skin, muscle, bones, joints and organs.
• Releases tension and reduces pain.
• Rebuilds healthy tissue and helps the body to regenerate.
I am trained and insured to prescribe Su Wen Herbs where appropriate. These were created by Giovanni Maciocia in 1994 for use by licensed acupuncturists and herbalists. The formulas are specifically designed to address the unique health conditions and patterns commonly seen in the West. They are backed by decades of research and experience. As well as the ‘core’ line of herbal formulas within Su Wen Herbs, there are also specific lines being dedicated to gynecological and paediatric conditions. The use of a herbal medicine is useful to ‘free’ the acupuncture in some instances which can become simpler and more focused on a specific problem. All herbs are both vegetarian and vegan friendly as well as being sustainable.
Auricular, or ear, acupuncture is a diagnostic and therapeutic self-regulating homeostatic mechanism of the whole body. It is one of several microsystems throughout the human body, a self-contained system within the whole system. Auricular acupuncture points can be used alongside body points to enhance overall treatment. However, there are specific acupuncture treatments using auricular for the following areas:
• Cessation of smoking.
• Weight loss and overeating.
• Insomnia.
• Gaming and gambling addiction.
• Drug and alcohol addiction.
This is a traditional Chinese healing method, using a smooth-edged tool to stroke the surface of the skin. This can then raise small, red, rash like dots at the surface of the skin called petechiae. These marks are not painful but a good indicator of what is happening in the body and where the stagnation is.

• Headaches & migraines
• Neck & Shoulder pain
• Frozen shoulder
• Back Pain
