Services
Acupuncture
Traditional acupuncture uses fine needles to stimulate specific points on the body. This activates natural healing responses and addresses both symptoms and underlying imbalances. Treatments help with chronic pain, mental health conditions, and general wellness. Each session is tailored to individual needs following comprehensive initial consultations.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion applies heat to acupuncture points using smouldering mugwort or electrical devices. This warms meridians, improves circulation, and helps with breech baby positioning from 34 weeks. Treatments include home care instructions for continued therapy between sessions with practitioner-guided self-application techniques.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping creates vacuum suction on the skin to increase blood flow and relieve muscle tension. Effective for neck, shoulder and back pain, this therapy leaves temporary marks indicating healing processes. Sessions use glass or plastic cups with both stationary and moving techniques to address specific conditions.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha uses smooth tools to stroke oiled skin, creating temporary red marks called 'sha'. This increases circulation by 400%, reduces inflammation, and treats pain, respiratory issues, and cold symptoms. The therapy stimulates healing enzymes and improves oxygen delivery to tissues during treatment sessions.
