I have a particular interest in women's health and musculoskeletal pain, but I am experienced in treating all kinds of conditions.

How acupuncture helps with women's health
Acupuncture has long been used to support women at every stage of life. Regular treatment can help to address a wide range of premenstrual, menstrual, and menopausal concerns by -
-
Regulating hormones via the brain–endocrine axis.
-
Increasing blood flow to the pelvic organs.
-
Relieving pain by stimulating the release of endorphins.
-
Supporting regular menstruation and healthy ovulation.
-
Calming the nervous system and reducing stress.
-
Improving sleep, energy and emotional wellbeing.
In my clinic, I combine Western and Eastern diagnostic techniques to create a personalised treatment plan that addresses the root cause of your concerns, helping to provide lasting relief from your symptoms and support your long-term health.
What to expect from your first treatment
Consultation - your first session begins with a relaxed conversation about your health concerns, current symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. This helps me understand the root causes of your pain and create a personalised treatment plan.
Pulse & Tongue Diagnosis - you then get to lie down while I have a quick look at your tongue and feel your pulse. These are Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnostic techniques which help me to gain a picture of your overall health.
Gentle Needle Insertion - I then place ultra-fine, sterile needles at specific points on your body. This process is usually painless - you may feel sensations of warmth, heaviness, tingling or a dull ache around the needle.
Other techniques - depending on the nature of your condition, I may incorporate other TCM techniques before or after needle insertion such as moxibustion, massage, gua sha, or cupping.
Time to Relax - you then lie comfortably for 20-40 minutes while the needles do their work. Many people fall into a deep state of relaxation or even drift off to sleep.
Treatment Plan - at the end of your session, we’ll talk through your personalised treatment plan and discuss any exercises, lifestyle guidance, or supplement recommendations that - along with acupuncture treatment - may help to relieve your symptoms and support long-term healing.
