Services
Acupuncture
Traditional acupuncture uses fine needles to stimulate specific points, promoting natural healing and pain relief. This treatment addresses chronic pain, fertility issues, and stress-related conditions. Patients often report improved sleep and increased energy levels following sessions. Maria tailors each treatment to individual needs.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping creates suction on the skin to enhance circulation and relieve muscle tension. This technique benefits those with back pain, sports injuries, and respiratory conditions. Maria uses glass cups strategically placed on affected areas for optimal therapeutic effect during treatment sessions.
Fertility Support
Specialised acupuncture treatments enhance fertility by improving reproductive system function. This service supports natural conception and complements IVF procedures. Regular sessions help regulate hormones and reduce stress for both men and women seeking to start a family.

Report
I made an appointment with Maria as a last resort to solve a problem with a trapped nerve in my back which made it difficult to get a good nights sleep. I had previously had several sessions of physiotherapy and a couple of injections to no avail. I felt and immediate improvement after my first session with Maria and now having had four further sessions I am able to get a good nights sleep and suffer no discomfort after moderate exercise. I shall continue to book further sessions with Maria if and when needed.

I would highly recommend Maria. She has treated me several times throughout two pregnancies and I have noticed a marked improvement in symptoms on each occasion. She has treated migraines, blocked sinuses, back ache, pelvic pain etc. Each session is very relaxing and I leave feeling rested and refreshed. Maria is very calm and attentive and I wouldnt hesitate to use her services again in the future.
