Services
Western Medical Acupuncture
This evidence-based treatment uses fine needles to stimulate nerves and muscles, effectively addressing chronic pain, migraines, and hormonal imbalances. Backed by MRI research showing brain activity changes, it's particularly effective for sciatica, IBS, and menopause symptoms. Patients often experience immediate relief after initial sessions.
Cosmetic Acupuncture
A natural alternative to Botox, this treatment boosts collagen production through micro-needling. Celebrity-favoured technique improves skin texture, reduces wrinkles, and enhances facial glow. Requires 10 sessions over five weeks for optimal results, with complementary jade rolling and GuaSha techniques enhancing outcomes.
Menopause Clinic
Specialist acupuncture programme targeting hot flushes, night sweats, and mood swings. Developed through personal experience with chemotherapy-induced menopause, weekly sessions regulate hormone levels naturally. Particularly beneficial for breast cancer survivors unable to use HRT.
Reflexology
Zone therapy applying pressure to foot reflex points corresponding to body organs. Effective for stress relief, fertility support, and digestive issues. Sessions identify imbalances through crystal deposits and texture changes, promoting natural healing processes.
Aromatherapy
Custom-blended plant extracts address skin conditions and muscular pain. Anti-inflammatory oils like lavender and chamomile reduce eczema symptoms while promoting relaxation. Combined with hot stone therapy for enhanced circulation and stress reduction.
