Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves placing very fine, sterile, single-use needles at specific points on the body.
​
Acupuncture may help you manage symptoms such as pain, stress, fatigue and muscle tension. Many women tell me the treatment room is the first place in a long time they’ve been able to properly switch off. I’ll explain what I’m doing and why as we go, so you’re never left wondering.
​
Neuro Emotional Technique
NET is a mind-body approach that looks at how stress and emotional responses can show up in the body. ​I use gentle muscle testing to identify a stress pattern linked to a symptom, then work through it with you while making light contact on specific points. You stay fully clothed and in control, and you won’t need to relive anything in detail.
​​
For women navigating fertility treatment, loss or the pressure of new motherhood, NET is a way of acknowledging that the stress of the journey is part of the story.
​
Cupping
Cupping uses glass or silicone cups that create gentle suction on the skin, usually across the back and shoulders. The cups may stay in place for a few minutes or be glided slowly over the muscles.
​
Most people describe it as a deep, pulling pressure over tight areas. It can leave round marks on the skin that usually fade within a few days to a week, so let me know if you have an event or a beach day coming up.
​
Moxibustion
Moxa, made from dried mugwort, is gently warmed and held above the skin, or on the handle of the needle, to bring warmth to an area.
​
Most people describe a gentle, spreading warmth. It may be part of your session, and some people are show how to use it safely at home.
​​
Gua sha
Gua sha is a traditional Chinese medicine technique in which a smooth-edged tool is stroked firmly along oiled skin, most often on the back, neck and shoulders.
​
It’s commonly used over areas of muscle tension and feels like a firm, scraping massage.
It can bring up temporary redness on the skin, which fades over a few days.
