Acupuncture & Naturopathy

How can I help?

My qualifications in both Acupuncture & Naturopathy allow me to support all my clients in a very unique way through promoting their healing journey with a fully integrated 360 holistic approach. I am also uniquely positioned to provide further support as an Aromatherapist and can tailor make specific blends for a host of physical and emotional complaints.

Both involve looking at the whole person and treating the individual and not just the disease and symptoms.

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a powerful and ancient healing modality that has been around for 1000s of years. Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine needles, often as thin as a strand of hair onto specific acupuncture points to provide therapeutic relief or preventative care. I will check your tongue and pulse to provide further clues and a Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis.

What is Naturopathy?

As a naturopathic practitioner, I have trained to degree level in human anatomy and physiology as well as other therapeutic modalities. I work on the premise that, given the right conditions, the body will heal or self correct when the vital force is stimulated and that the whole person is more important than the dis-ease. In Chinese Medicine there is a saying that ‘Prevention is better than cure’ so Naturopathy can be a good tool to utilise for good health and prevention of chronic states of dis-ease. Importantly, a naturopath is here to empower you as the patient to take responsibility for your own health using the healing power of nature, treating the cause and not just the symptoms, doing no harm and empowering you as the patient to make necessary changes for optimal wellbeing.

The Naturopathic toolkit includes things such as tissue salts, iridology, food energetics, nutrition, detoxification protocols, and flower essences to support my clients. Naturopaths may also prescribe easy wellness habits such as Epsom salt baths, dry body brushing, grounding, reducing EMF exposure, adequate sunshine and exercise.

Who can benefit from Acupuncture and Naturopathic support?

Anyone can be supported through both of these modalities and you do not need a ‘problem’ to come for a session. Having regular acupuncture sessions can support overall health and wellbeing. Common conditions that I see people for in clinic include:

• Pregnancy related symptoms (I also can support with pregnancy massage)

• Headaches/migraines

• Musculoskeletal aches and pains

• Stress, anxiety and depression

• Menstrual issues

• Menopausal and perimenopausal symptoms

• Gut issues

• Acne and other skin related issues

• Allergies

• Insomnia

• Auto-immune conditions

• Detoxification
