Acupuncture is a branch of Chinese Medicine over 2000 years old which encourages optimal health and vitality, improved strength, energy and a boost to the immune system. 

It works on the premise that good health is maintained by a body functioning as a whole system, which provides a natural balanced flow of energy.

Ill health can be thought of as arising when the natural flow of energy becomes blocked or hindered  because of the physical and mental strains  in today’s modern world, leading to any number of illnesses or simply a sense of “not feeling quite right”. Acupuncture uses gentle manipulation at specific points to stimulate the body’s natural healing response, helping it return to a more balanced state.

Each person is treated individually and holistically, focusing on you rather than just your illness, seeing all the symptoms in relation to each other and addressing the underlying root cause. Each person is unique and two people with the same western diagnosis may well receive different acupuncture treatments.

After receiving acupuncture we often hear clients noticing an improvement in symptoms and an increased sense of well-being. Many people also notice positive changes that they do not initially see as “connected” with their original problem. For example, better sleep patterns, feeling more relaxed, increased vitality and confidence or they may comment that they seem to be able to deal with the stresses that life throws at them with more ease.
