Services
Acupuncture
Traditional acupuncture uses fine needles to stimulate energy flow and treat physical, emotional and mental health conditions. Our treatments follow Chinese medicine principles to rebalance Qi energy. Patients receive weekly sessions initially, with treatment plans tailored to individual needs and health goals.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal prescriptions address chronic conditions using natural plant-based remedies. We specialise in treating skin disorders, digestive issues and hormonal imbalances through traditional formulas. Each prescription considers the patient's constitution and current medications for safe, effective care.
Auricular Acupuncture
This specialised technique targets ear acupuncture points for pain management and addiction support. We use both conventional needles and press needles for extended treatment effects. The therapy follows evidence-based protocols for specific health conditions and symptom relief.
Reiki Therapy
Tera-Mai style Reiki balances the body's energy field through non-invasive hand placements. This complementary therapy promotes relaxation and stress reduction while supporting overall well-being. Sessions create a calming environment to facilitate natural healing processes.
Tai Chi Instruction
Regular Tai Chi and Qi Gong practice improves physical health and energy flow. These gentle exercises complement acupuncture treatments by enhancing body awareness and circulation. Instruction focuses on traditional forms adapted for individual capabilities.
