“We can judge our health by our happiness.”

Love using these remedies to support emotional health and well-being. 🤩

Our physical, emotional and mental health is all connected so it’s important that we adopt a holistic healing approach.🥰

My clients get even better, lasting results when we really examine the whole picture and make lifestyle tweaks for maximum impact. 💪🏾

Acupuncture – what is it then? Something to do with needles? The needles are actually finer than a strand of hair. Yes! Tiny, tiny!

Acupuncture is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine that has been around for thousands of years. Plenty of time to get it right and if it has been around for so long, it must work, right? There have been many acupuncture masters that have used their experience to refine acupuncture and there are now different kinds of acupuncture practised widely.

The human body is an incredible machine and scientists find out more about it year on year. When we are unwell, have pain or just don’t feel right, it is our body telling us something is out of balance; something is wrong. As acupuncturists, it is our job to give the body a little help to get back into balance. It is almost like a kick-start, a nudge for the body to do something to get back on the right track.

If you have a Scalextric track and the track is not aligned properly, the cars cannot speed around. They just get stuck. Realign the tracks and they can drive around quite happily! However, we need to make sure that they are not trying to break the land speed record nor chug along too slowly. Everything in balance!

It is similar within the body. Imagine the body has lots of tracks or lines running inside it (it does, they are called meridians or channels) and for the body to function at it’s optimum, everything must be running smoothly. If for whatever reason the lines get blocked, or energy (qi – remember this word for later) is moving too quickly or too slowly, this causes a problem. Blockages or stagnation can lead to pain and dis-ease. This may present as actual physical pain, emotional upset or mental challenges.

An acupuncturist will work to both ease the symptoms (pain, tiredness, discomfort, aching etc.) and address the cause. In this way, we treat the root (the actual cause) and the branch (the symptoms). Western medicine focuses on treating the symptoms which could contribute to some people being on medication for long periods of time. This could be why many people turn to alternative medicine and eventually try acupuncture.

Put it on your to do list!

Don’t settle!

If you start getting aches and pains or you’re not able to do what you used to, don’t despair! 😩

When our bodies struggle to meet our expectations in terms of mobility and strength, it can be frustrating as well as challenging to our emotional health. 🙁

You don’t need to put up with it! Head on over to the links in my bio to find out how acupuncture could help you. ➡️

Success!!!🥳

I LOVE it when clients tell me things like this. 😁

When you have been struggling with injuries or pain that stops you enjoying being you, it can be SO challenging!

Achievements like this may seem small to some but they can be massive and life changing for many!

Regular acupuncture and lifestyle tweaks can work miracles.

For info on lifestyle tweaks and acupressure you can do at home (without needles), visit my bio to find out more information about a course for you! ➡️

Questions? ⬇️

Keep believing! 😊

Mind the gap! 😲

That repetitive message when you’re on the London Underground. 🚝Did you know we have our own set of lines running through the body? They’re called channels or meridians. Each stop along the line is an acupuncture point. There are over 300! 😮

Sometimes they get blocked which causes stagnation resulting in pain. 😣The reasons for the blockage will always point to some form of imbalance; whether physical or emotional.

It’s my job to kickstart the body into healing and getting everything flowing freely again. The body knows what to do but it just needs a nudge. In my case with a needle, not an elbow!😀

Bringing the body back into balance, one needle at a time.

I can’t feel my back! 😱

Panic not! The complete sentence is “I can’t feel my back pain!” 🙌🏾When I give a treatment, I aim for and expect changes within that treatment session; not twenty sessions down the line.

A client came to me with mid back pain. We got rid of it with...wait for it...ONE magnet! 😁That’s right, didn’t even need a needle - only one magnet! I say ‘we’ because it’s a team effort. I rely on feedback from you the client.👏🏾

I work hard studying 🤓different systems and techniques and I spent hours shadowing an amazing acupuncturist when I finished my formal training. I’ll never stop learning and I don’t want to. 🧑🏾‍🎓

You can learn more too - the knowledge starts in the website (try reading my blogs). You know where it is (in my bio just in case you didn’t know...). 🏃🏾‍♀️

👏🏾And tonight on the Krypton Factor...

Give me a wave 👋🏾 in the comments if you remember this programme? 📺

So, testing your skills of observation, 👀 can you spot the difference between the two slides? That’s right, there is a difference; go back and look carefully... 👁answers on a postcard please - sorry, 🤪 I mean in the comments below. ⬇️

These are some of the tools I use in my acupuncture treatments. They are used for measuring as every treatment is completely bespoke and totally tailored for your terrific body. There’s no one else like you, right?😃

*Hint: there are two differences - can you spot them? Answers in comments please! ⬇️
