Services
Acupuncture
Classical acupuncture treatments address pain, stress, and chronic conditions by restoring energy flow. Gentle needling techniques regulate the nervous system, improve circulation, and support natural healing processes. Each session includes a full diagnosis using traditional Chinese medical principles to create individualised treatment plans. This approach effectively treats musculoskeletal pain, hormonal imbalances, and emotional wellbeing concerns.
Tui Na Massage
Therapeutic Tui Na massage combines acupressure and soft tissue techniques to release tension and improve circulation. This hands-on therapy addresses muscular pain, digestive issues, and stress-related conditions through targeted pressure point stimulation. Sessions incorporate warming oils and traditional techniques to enhance treatment effectiveness while maintaining comfort throughout the process.
Dietary Advice
Personalised dietary recommendations based on Chinese medicine principles address digestive disorders and energy imbalances. Guidance focuses on seasonal eating, food energetics, and constitution-specific meal planning. This service complements acupuncture treatments by reinforcing systemic balance through everyday food choices and preparation methods.
Qigong Therapy
Gentle Qigong exercises improve energy flow and support recovery from chronic conditions. These movements enhance treatment effects by promoting circulation, reducing stress, and strengthening mind-body connection. Sessions teach accessible techniques for maintaining balance between acupuncture treatments.
Cupping & Gua Sha
Traditional cupping and Gua Sha techniques improve circulation and relieve muscular tension. These therapies address chronic pain patterns by releasing fascial restrictions and promoting lymphatic drainage. Treatments are integrated with acupuncture for enhanced pain management and recovery support.
