How can Acupuncture and Naturopathic Medicine help me?
What could bring you to see me? A lot of people think Acupuncture is just for pain or fertility related problems, but the truth is, it can help with a lot more than that and people are often surprised when the shoulder pain they come in for turns into an exploration around the grief or stress they are holding onto or when the painful periods they endure month after month are more than just the diet they have been consuming but anger and shame held deep within the body.
If this resonates, this might be you:
“I feel I need some help with my health and well-being. I have looked for other solutions but so far, they have not resolved my problems. I had gone down the conventional and allopathic route, but with no relief. I am curious about acupuncture and wonder what naturopathic medicine is - even better if that can help improve all aspects of my mind, body and soul wellbeing.”
Acupuncture and Naturopathy can be used to help many things. You also do NOT need to have anything ‘wrong’ with you to come in for a session. Prevention is better than cure after all.
Common things my patients come to see me for:
menstrual issues
trouble conceiving
pain - back pain, shoulder pain, musculoskeletal injuries and strain
digestive complains
psycho-emotional issues such as anxiety and depression
headaches and migraines
‘never been well since’ a medical intervention or illness
relaxation and stress relief
autoimmune conditions
The list goes on and on….we don’t separate the mind and body. Both are treated as one.
Acupuncture and Naturopathy can also be an avenue to support you during transitional changes in your life, crisis and spiritual awakenings. Acupuncture is a powerful tool and it is not just about putting in needles. It is about my interaction with you as the patient, with your Qi and my Qi and the cosmic Qi all around us (Qi is the energy we all have in our bodies, prone in aryuvedic medicine or vital force).
It might be subtle, but real magic can truly happen even in the listening space. This why I spent 90 minutes receiving your full case. I often hear patients say to me (sometimes through tears) ‘wow that was the first time I ever told anyone that’ or ‘its so good to be able to tell my story’ or ‘I am not sure if this is relevant’. It is ALL relevant and it is all important because it is YOUR story. The addition of my naturopathic toolkit which includes my knowledge of Australian bush flowers, Bach flower remedies, detox protocols, food energetics, nutrition and more enhances every session and gives you more to work on between your treatments and makes my offering truly unique.
This is why my sessions combine the two as more is needed in the times we are living in - it is often not enough for someone to only have acupuncture. They need more support in between sessions. If there are psycho-emotional issues, I will make up bespoke flower essences which support the emotional space, if targeted advice on food energetics is needed; I will provide that and more. Every case is unique.
