Services
Acupuncture
Traditional acupuncture involves inserting fine needles at specific points to stimulate energy flow and promote healing. This technique effectively addresses chronic pain, migraines, and stress-related conditions by restoring the body's natural balance. Our practitioners use sterile, single-use needles to ensure safety and hygiene. Regular sessions can improve sleep quality, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall well-being through cumulative therapeutic effects.
Facial Acupuncture
Facial acupuncture targets age-related concerns by stimulating collagen production and improving blood circulation. This non-invasive treatment reduces fine lines, tightens skin, and enhances facial tone through strategic needle placement. It also addresses sinus issues and TMJ disorders while promoting relaxation. Sessions typically last 60 minutes, combining body and facial points for holistic rejuvenation and stress relief.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy uses glass or silicone cups to create suction, releasing muscle tension and improving circulation. This ancient technique effectively treats back pain, respiratory issues, and sports injuries by increasing blood flow to targeted areas. The therapy promotes detoxification and reduces inflammation, often leaving temporary circular marks that fade within days. Sessions may include both stationary and gliding cup techniques.
Electro-Acupuncture
Electro-acupuncture enhances traditional techniques by applying low-voltage electrical currents between needles. This method amplifies pain relief for conditions like arthritis and neuropathy by stimulating endorphin release. The controlled current improves treatment efficacy for chronic pain management and muscle rehabilitation. Sessions typically last 20-30 minutes, integrated within regular acupuncture treatments for enhanced therapeutic outcomes.
Reflexology
Reflexology applies pressure to specific points on the feet corresponding to body organs and systems. This therapy promotes relaxation, improves circulation, and addresses digestive issues through targeted manual techniques. Each session includes a full-body assessment to create personalised treatment plans. Regular sessions help manage stress-related conditions and support overall systemic balance through the body's reflex pathways.

My experience with acupuncture sessions so far here has been great. Rachael and Mel are both amazing practitioners with lots of wisdom regarding fertility and women's health. You are made to feel very comfortable and at ease and I especially love the Reiki healing that Mel offers which is really calming and meditative. The room itself has a great energy and the relaxing music helps to settle the body and mind. I have had just 6 sessions so far and already I am seeing huge improvements in my PCOS symptoms. During my last cycle I experienced hardly any pain, where usually I would be in debilitatIng

Have been going to Norma for a long time now and I can't recommend her enough! She is amazing, puts you at ease and makes you feel so comfortable. Have even been since the pandemic and even with everything in place (which everything was in line with the guidelines) she still made me feel relaxed. I look forward to my appointments with her! Also the most knowledgeable person in her role and explains everything to you! Definitely make that appointment, it will be the best decision .
