Why Acupuncture?

Chinese medicine is a beautiful, poetic and powerful treatment which balances the body by harmonising yin and yang, the female and male in all of us. When we are as balanced as we can be in all aspects of our lives we can be well and able to achieve our goals and desires without fear or illness. At a first appointment many questions will be asked about present and previous health problems, family, work and play. The 12 Chinese pulses will be taken and after paying full attention the acupuncturist makes a diagnosis and then inserts very thin needles into points on the body. These are retained for about twenty minutes. A treatment plan is decided upon which will vary for each person. Because we are unique and individual treatment is not a formula it may change from week to week according to our amazing diagnostic tool, The Pulse. Clients may come for some weekly treatments and then monthly tune-ups or change of season treatments. During this time people report feeling more energy, both physical and mental so that they are helped to make major changes in their lives if they need to. The wonder of acupuncture is that it works for people in many different ways depending what they want from it. It supports and enables. I love the work which is always a fond exchange of trust.
