Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the oldest and most commonly used traditional healing modalities in the world. Originating in China at least 2,500 years ago, it has evolved into a comprehensive system of healthcare that helps to restore health to the mind and body by treating the energetic pathways of the body. Practitioners have used this noninvasive treatment method to help millions of people become well and stay well. Acupuncture promotes natural healing. It can support physical and emotional health, enhance recuperative power and immunity, and improve overall function and well-being. It is a time-tested and holistic way to address a wide variety of medical conditions and complaints. An acupuncture treatment involves the insertion of sterile, single-use needles into acupuncture points, where they are left for around 20 - 30 minutes while you relax. For children under 8, the needles aren't retained but are simply inserted and then withdrawn. Depending on the patient and the presentation, a treatment may also make use of electro-acupuncture, micro-current acupuncture, moxibustion, infra-red therapy, cupping and/or guasha. Acupuncture is my passion and main modality of practice, however for a truly wholistic approach and optimum success I often combine it with my other services such as herbal medicine, acupressure, dietary therapy, meditation and lifestyle coaching.
