About Me
I am an Acupuncturist based in Stratford-upon-Avon in the heart of Warwickshire. I trained in both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Five Element Acupuncture at the world renowned College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading, UK. Read more about me here.
Types of Treatment
Initially a full medical history is taken to gain an overall picture of your physical, mental and emotional health. This enables me to formulate a treatment plan which will be the most beneficial to return you to your optimum health and retain a sense of wellbeing. Below are some examples of treatments I offer.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture works to help maintain your body’s equilibrium. It involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific points of the body to regulate the flow of ‘qi’, your body’s vital energy. Traditional acupuncture can be an effective therapy to help restore balance and promote physical and emotional harmony.
cupping
Combined with acupuncture and massage, Cupping is used to dispel stagnation, improving qi flow. It is used to treat various respiratory conditions and musculoskeletal conditions, such as back, neck and shoulder pain.
moxa
Moxa is often used in conjunction with acupuncture to enhance the effect of the treatment. The dried herb Moxa is used like incense to gently and safely warm the body, relax muscles and supplement qi.
Other treatments
I provide a number of other treatments such as Guasha, Tuina and Hopi Ear Candles. You can ask me more about these when you come for a treatment.
