Therapies

acupuncture

Acupuncture needling is the main modality of treatment because of its effectiveness and healing properties. It involves the insertion of fine, single use sterile needles to bring the body back into balance and encouraging the body’s own healing mechanisms. This in turn calms the central nervous system, regulating hormones and releasing endorphins.

cosmetic acupuncture

Hailed as the natural alternative to surgery and fillers, cosmetic acupuncture is a natural anti-aging treatment that’s intended to stimulate the body’s healing energies and increase circulation to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, enhance skin tone, tighten skin muscles and lift sagging skin. 

Compassionate Inquiry

Compassionate Inquiry is a powerful synthesis of multiple psychotherapeutic approaches for healing trauma and understanding mental and physical illness.
This style of talking therapy allows for exploration of core issues in order to gain insight, heal, and move into sustainable recovery from self-defeating patterns.
I’m currently offering Zoom calls using this technique.  After booking you’ll receive a booking confirmation email, which will include a link to take you through to the remote meeting room on Zoom.

Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promote healing. A Reiki session can help ease tension and stress and can help support the body to facilitate an environment for healing on all levels – physical, mental, and emotional. A session is pleasant and relaxing and used to enhance wellness.

tuina

A form of ancient Chinese massage which is often used in conjunction with acupuncture. It is a hands on body therapy that works with the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to bring the body into balance, using a variety of techniques including kneading, rolling and massaging to get the body’s energy moving in the channels and meridians and stimulating acupressure points.

fire cupping

Developed thousands of years ago, and more recently popular with Olympic swimmers, Fire Cupping involves the creation of a partial vacuum in a smooth glass ‘cup’, which is then placed on the skin to alleviate deep aches and pains and remove toxins by increasing blood flow to the area.

Guasha

Literally means ‘scraping’ and involves the use of a smooth tool which is gently rubbed over the skin, stimulating blood flow and regenerating cell renewal, in a similar way to Fire Cupping. This therapy is especially recommended for muscle tightness and stimulating the immune system.

moxibustion

Moxibustion (or moxa) involves the use of a Chinese herb to warm and nourish. The herb is slowly burned over certain acupuncture points, or along energy channels to warm the area, support acupuncture treatment and strengthen the body.
