Never Been Well Since….

Ever heard of the term, ‘never been well since?’ Tried everything but still not feeling any better?

In the holistic health world, we often look for this starting point for when someone started feeling unwell and this could be your ‘never been well since’ moment. When I take a client’s case, I will often take a timeline of events alongside when particular symptoms started and create a map to where you are today. This is why my acupuncture and naturopathy consultations are 90 minutes long. 1 hour is simply not enough time to capture the breadth of the human experience across many years!

Examples of a ‘never been well since’ moment:

-a bereavement

-a stressful period of work

-a pivotal moment at school or at home growing up (this could be bullying, parents separation, an illness etc)

-a surgery or medical intervention. This can include various medications and other interventions that have left a lasting imprint on your body

-birth. Sometimes the ‘never been well since moment’ started when you were born. If the birth was difficult or traumatic, this can have a lasting impact and imprint on our physiological wellbeing.

-ancestral. Epigentics can play a big role and sometimes we have to look further back into the past.

When we find such a moment, then we can begin working together in a meaningful way. A skin issue may have come on since a bereavement - I then know exactly what system to target and how to support you emotionally. Working with Acupuncture, we can target the right meridians to start to help your body rebalance. And then alongside that, flower essences to support emotional wellbeing. The physical and emotional worlds are never separated and are always taken together. We may also look at ways to help the body recover from the effects of certain medications - even if you took them many years ago. The contraceptive pill in particular is one I usually focus on when helping people conceive as the energetic imprint remains long after the person has taken it.

Ways I help people overcome their ‘never been well since moment’:

-We work with acupuncture and naturopathic medicine to balance the body overall - every session opens a new door

-We work with Flower essences to support the psycho-emotional wellbeing in between sessions

-Homeonbotanicals if there are more physical issues that need resolving. These are potentised and dynamised herbal blends that are personalised to you to support all kinds of conditions

-In between and if needed, perhaps Reiki may be called on

-Lastly, some people receive tremendous healing from cosmetic acupuncture sessions. The face is a portal and the acupuncture points around the face can bring a great deal of healing. I always utilise the power of touch through facial massage in this treatment too and Reiki, which makes it a powerful treatment.
