Acupuncture is a gentle and effective form of traditional Chinese medicine that uses ultra-fine, sterile needles to encourage the body’s natural healing response. Treatments are relaxing and restorative, often leaving you with a deep sense of calm and wellbeing.

Acupuncture works by supporting the smooth flow of Qi — your body’s vital energy — which in turn helps to improve circulation, balance the nervous system, and promote the release of natural healing compounds.

Your first appointment will be slightly longer, giving me time to chat to you about your symptoms, lifestyle, and medical history.  I’ll make a diagnosis using both traditional Chinese principles and modern insight. This session will also include your first treatment, which may involve acupuncture along with other techniques I use such as moxa (gentle heat therapy), cupping, or guasha.
