ACUPUNCTURE
A Holistic Approach to Health and Well-being
Welcome to my acupuncture practice, where I combine the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with modern understanding to support your health holistically. Acupuncture has been practiced for thousands of years, offering a natural way to restore balance within the body and mind. This integrative approach considers the deep connection between your physical and emotional well-being, aiming to treat the whole person rather than isolated symptoms.
Acupuncture is used to help manage symptoms and encourage the body to use its own natural ability to self-regulate and heal. It offers a very safe, alternative to managing conditions free from the negative side-effects experienced with some medications.
Specialist in Women's Health & Fertility Support
While acupuncture can benefit a wide range of conditions, I have a special interest in women's health and fertility support. Whether you're preparing for conception, undergoing fertility treatments, or looking for relief from menstrual discomfort, hormonal imbalances, or menopause, acupuncture offers a gentle yet effective way to nurture your body and optimise its natural rhythms. Together, we can create a tailored plan to support you on your journey to better health.
In addition to women's health, I also treat a variety of other conditions. Acupuncture can provide relief from stress-related issues, including anxiety, low energy, and mental health challenges. It can also effectively address physical pain, such as chronic conditions like back pain, arthritis, headaches and migraines. By encouraging your body’s natural healing process, acupuncture helps you find balance, ease discomfort, and regain vitality.​

The research base into acupuncture is growing all the time. In 2017, researchers John McDonald PhD, MSc, FAACMA and Stephen Janz RN, BN, BAc, GCCHM, MPH, MAACMA reviewed all the evidence to date. In their summary, they said:
"Our study found evidence for the effectiveness of acupuncture for 117 conditions, with stronger evidence for acupuncture’s effectiveness for some conditions than others. Acupuncture is considered safe in the hands of a well-trained practitioner and has been found to be cost-effective for some conditions. The quality and quantity of research into acupuncture’s effectiveness is increasing.” Acupuncture Evidence Project, p55

Comprehensive Care for Stress, Pain, and More
Acupuncture & Nutrition: A Perfect Pairing
As a qualified nutritional therapist with a focus on women’s health and fertility, I know that true wellness comes from addressing not just symptoms, but the underlying causes. Traditional Chinese Medicine emphasises the importance of prevention through a healthy diet and lifestyle, and I integrate this philosophy into my treatments. Nutrition and acupuncture work hand-in-hand to support overall health, and together, they can create a powerful synergy to improve fertility, hormonal balance, and energy levels.
What to Expect from Your Acupuncture Session
During your session, I’ll take the time to understand your unique needs and develop a treatment plan tailored specifically for you. Using fine, sterile needles, acupuncture works by stimulating key points along the body’s channels to restore balance and promote healing. Each treatment is designed not only to address your current symptoms but also to support long-term well-being by treating the root cause of your concerns.
A Commitment to Professional Excellence
I am a proud member of the British Acupuncture Council, which ensures I uphold the highest standards of safety, professional conduct, and training. My approach is both compassionate and comprehensive, focused on providing a safe, relaxing environment where you can feel confident in the care you receive.
Take the First Step Toward Balance & Well-being
Whether you’re seeking support for fertility, relief from stress or pain, or simply looking to enhance your overall health, acupuncture offers a gentle, holistic approach to healing. I’d be happy to discuss how acupuncture and nutrition can work together to support your unique health journey.
