Treatments
Treatments are tailored to your individual needs and may evolve as your body responds. Whether you are seeking relief from pain, support in fertility, during menopause or help managing a long-standing condition such as Migraine, insomnia, digestive disorders, anxiety, stress, emotional overwhelm, Depression, OCD, back pain.
After a 20 minute consultation I will begin the bodywork. Alongside acupuncture, I may incorporate cupping to release tension, improve circulation and help the body let go of deep-seated stagnation. I may practice Gua Sha to gently move Qi and Blood and ease muscular tightness. When appropriate, Moxibustion (moxa) may also be used to warm and nourish the body, strengthen depleted systems and encourage healthy circulation.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a gentle yet powerful therapy that works by restoring harmony within the body. Using fine, carefully placed needles, it encourages the natural flow of energy, calming the mind, easing physical tension and supporting the body’s innate ability to heal. Rather than treating symptoms alone, acupuncture nurtures balance on a deeper level, helping the body return to a state of ease, resilience, and wellbeing.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion is a warming therapy used to nourish and strengthen the body’s natural energy. By gently heating specific acupuncture points with dried mugwort, it helps improve circulation, dispel cold, and support vitality from within. Moxibustion is especially beneficial for fatigue, digestive concerns and conditions linked to cold or weakness, offering a very grounding experience.
Cupping
Cupping therapy is a deeply restorative treatment that uses gentle suction to release tension, improve circulation, and encourage the body’s natural detoxification processes. By lifting and softening tight muscles and connective tissue, cupping helps relieve pain, ease stagnation and create space for the body to heal. It is often used to support musculoskeletal conditions, stress and chronic tension, leaving the body feeling lighter, freer and more relaxed.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha is a therapeutic technique that uses smooth, gentle strokes along the body to release deep-seated tension and stagnation. By improving circulation and encouraging lymphatic flow, it helps reduce pain, reduce inflammation, and relieve muscular tightness while supporting the body’s natural healing processes. Gua Sha is both grounding and invigorating, leaving the body feeling lighter, more open and restored.
