Acupuncturist and Tui Na Therapy
Acupuncture is an ancient system of treatment with a history of 2,500 years. It focuses on precise adjustments to the body's living systems. Illness arises from the disharmony of bodily processes and acupuncture works to return the body to its natural pattern (health). Acupuncture facilitates the body's intrinsic healing response, seeing no separation between body, mind and emotions. Acupuncture is a safe and effective form of treatment for the majority of health complaints from infertility to insomnia and anxiety to asthma. Acupuncture also works well in combination with Tui Na massage.
Tui Na (also known as An Mo) is a powerful and dynamic bodywork system. It is the oldest of the Chinese medical practices, with a history of 5,000 years. Tui Na uses the same diagnostic methods as acupuncture to enable individualized and focused treatment.
The treatment moves between firm pressure, vibration, rocking, cupping, acupressure and sweeping movements. Tui Na opens and frees the body from pain and restriction. Alongside the physical treatment a more subtle energetic aspect addresses areas of weakness as well as points of tension.
Tui Na is effective for a wide variety of internal and musculoskeletal conditions and works well in combination with acupuncture.
Facial Rejuvenation (FR) or Cosmetic Acupuncture is a safe and effective alternative to surgery, botox, collagen injections and laser/chemical skin peels. It provides a holistic approach to beauty.
FR increases blood circulation, lymphatic drainage and collagen production. This improves skin elasticity and smoothens the complexion. It nourishes from the inside out and invigorates from the outside in.
Your FR treatment also includes a full body acupuncture treatment supporting your homeostatic function and maintaining health.
Energetics of Nutrition looks at food from the perspective of Chinese Medicine. What we eat is observed in terms of flavour, temperature and action, defining food within a broader context than just biological make-up.
Through the Chinese medical model an individualized and supportive dietary approach is prescribed. The way food is eaten is also taken into consideration, with advice to support and enable full absorption and digestion.
The Energetics of Nutrition approach works well in conjunction with acupuncture to strengthen the digestive system whilst addressing what we eat and how we eat it.
