✨From Stables to Studio ✨

A little person has prevented recent updates but my healing space is ready for you.

Open Tues-Fri. DM me for appointments or book on my website xx

✨The magic ✨....is in the details....we read you, your awareness, your body, your pulses (oodles of different pulse qualities and not just the rate), your tongue, your breath, your sound, your colour, your emotions, between the lines of the stories you tell us. We draw your awareness to the areas of your life that need your attention, love and care. We hold the space and walk with you. Choosing the right practitioner for you and your individual needs will make all the difference in your healing journey ✨🏹

❤️MISCARRIAGE & MENOPAUSE ❤️

Reaping the benefits of Jill Glover’s CPD on helping women through miscarriage and menopause with acupuncture. 25% of pregnancies miscarry. Clinical research shows acupuncture can reduce the risk of miscarriage. 80% of women suffer moderate to severe menopausal symptoms. Women suffer unnecessarily. Acupuncture can help you without always the need for medical intervention. PM me if you have an inkling to know more xx

🌎Happy World IBD Day🌎

Finally braving it to share my 💩 story and raise IBD awareness...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease(IBD) affects over 10 million people worldwide and includes Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis (UC). Pain, bloating, cramping, bleeding, pus, diarrhoea, urgency, constipation, swollen painful joints, night sweats, nausea, weight loss, anxiety and Kidney, Liver and eye damage are some but not all of the symptoms. The cause is unknown, but research points towards a combination of genetics, the environment and an overreaction of the immune system.
I was diagnosed with UC 8 years ago. “You have an incurable disease and have to be on medication for the rest of your life as the risk of bowel cancer or having a colostomy bag is high.” This shook me. Surely there was more to this than taking meds orally and rectally for the rest of my life...
I immediately turned to a complementary approach to health and became a Chinese Medicine and acupuncture practitioner. My golden cure really has been acupuncture and yep I often self treat (needling St25 here👆). Obviously an altered lifestyle and diet has been key too. I get flare ups still but nothing like what I used to. And thankfully I’m no longer living in the fast lane and UC has made me who I am today: a 💯 more determined and empathic practitioner, an advocate for holistic health, a nerd for all things Chinese Medicine and acupuncture and an expert in sh*t.
Here’s to everyone who has dealt with this disease: IV infusions, regular cameras up your butt, puffy faced meds, f***l transplants, boring anti-inflammatory diets, near constant doctors appointments, long call queues with insurance companies, endless embarrassment, yet still brave attempts to battle on. Shout out to all the IBD patients, practitioners and supporters. You raise our collective consciousness and inspire us to keep fighting.

Exhaustion? Constant worry? Your spleen is crying out for some TLC. In Chinese Medicine when our spleen is out of balance we are unable to transform and assimilate both food and life experiences. You can nourish and strengthen your spleen with various methods...see my blog post ⬆️ for some helpful hints for boosting energy and calming any monkey minds.

“Those poor and humble people in the mountains and wilderness know nothing but a bland and homely diet but their movements never betray decrepitude and their bodies remain safe and sound their entire lives”

💫🌍Happy World Acupuncture Day🌍💫 Celebrating this ancient traditional medicine that dramatically improves your inner health and wellbeing. The recent massive rise in cosmetic Botox saddens and scares me, as no one quite knows the long term dangers, hence I’m now offering cosmetic acupuncture treatments; to resurface, lift and plump up the skin to treat all skin conditions - and I truly believe it’s the secret to natural glowing skin

Brain fog? Tiredness? Blocked sinuses? Swollen ankles? All signs of Dampness in Chinese Medicine. I’m resolving Damp here with a📌📌 and recommending a few lifestyle tweaks including cutting out Damp-forming foods such as dairy, sugar and 🍌 a big no no. Never go outside or sleep with wet hair and as hard as it may be, limit over-eating, overthinking and worrying as the Spleen’s ability to transport will be weakened leading to the accumulation of fluids 🤯. Any questions, call or message me 🙌

Introducing a new tool to my treatment room...hello double headed infrared heat lamp 🙌. Not only does it magically heat your back and feet at the same time but emits electro-magnetic waves to increase local circulation of blood, lymph and activity of the nervous system. Benefits include decreased joint and muscle pain and helps repair tissue, speeding up recovery time. Ladies it can help ease period pain and boost fertility to boot ✨📌
