Traditional Acupuncture enables the body, mind and spirit to heal itself, as far as nature will allow. In Chinese medicine any illness or symptom, either physical, mental or of the spirit, is associated with an imbalance of the person's vital life energy, Qi (pronounced chee). When the body sends out a distress signal in the form of symptoms it is a sign that there is an imbalance of Qi, which needs to be rebalanced to restore health. This principle of traditional acupuncture is important because it means the underlying cause of the disease is being dealt with rather than the symptoms merely being swept under the carpet, only to reappear in the future. As well as dealing with the person's condition by restoring the overall balance of Qi, traditional acupuncture may help the person feel better in a general way, promoting an improved quality of life, energy and general well being.

I have a special interest working with acupuncture to help infertility and during pregnancy. Helping both male and female partners with any infertility difficulties or problems. I have experience of working along side western medicine, for example IVF, IUI etc. I am experienced at treating ladies during pregnancy for a wide variety of conditions, including morning sickness, back pain and sciatica. Acupuncture is also very effective in helping to turn breech babies.

I also practice Auricular Acupuncture, which is very effective in reducing cravings and side effects from detoxification, such as mood swings and irritability. This can be helpful with most types of addiction: smoking, alcohol and drugs.

I am very interested in treating animals, both large and small. They respond very well to treatment for many complaints, for example arthritis, joint problems, hyperactivity, stomach complaints and lethargy.

If you have a condition or symptom which isn't listed above, or would like to discuss your condition in more detail, I am happy to offer a free 15 minute consultation to discuss your individual needs, please see my contact page for further details.
