Healing Through Voltage and Frequencies -

Understanding the human body as an intricate network of electrical circuits provides a revolutionary perspective on health and wellness.

It’s here that Electro Acupuncture shines.

By precisely tuning into the body’s unique voltage and frequency needs, it facilitates optimal energy flow, fostering an environment conducive to healing & the fascia is vital for this to happen.

The power of Electro Acupuncture isn’t just in its technology but in its ability to offer a modernized approach while honoring the deep wisdom of traditional practices ☯️

I wanted to share this recent article & the great tips to help manage back pain, including acupuncture of course 🤩👏

I’ve had mild niggling backache/sciatica since around 51 - TCM diagnosis - Kidney Yin & Bl Xu, Spleen Qi Xu …. ☯️

I pretty much incorporate all the recommendations suggested in this article & more!
& As a result I continue to enjoy some of my favourite activities 🚴‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️ 🧘 💃🏻

I’m really pleased that conscientious GP’s are suggesting other ways to help patients manage pain other than meds 👏

Chronic pain is estimated to affect nearly half of all UK adults-a staggering 28million people.

Winds, Spirits, and Seasonal Shifts:
Happy Halloween! 🎃

As Halloween approaches and the days shorten, we enter the heart of the Metal season — a time when nature turns inward, the air becomes crisp, and the veil between worlds grows thin. 🍁

In Chinese medicine, autumn governs the Lungs and Large Intestine, the organs responsible for both receiving and releasing, for taking in what is pure and letting go of what no longer serves. 🧘

The emotion of the Metal element is grief, yet it also holds the seed of courage — the courage to release, to face endings, and to prepare for renewal. 🌱

This season invites us to reflect on how grief, fear, and transformation manifest and how we can support ourselves — in finding balance as we move from the light of yang into the depth of yin ☯️

Celebrating 5 years since I started my acupuncture practice, becoming my own boss 🥳

Prior to my acupuncture degree, I worked in a rural GP practice for 14 years dispensing medication & learnt so much!

From an unconventional upbringing, indoctrinated with strong holistic beliefs, I immersed any spare time (aside from raising a family) into learning & study, gathering various certificates & diplomas, to include nutrition, counselling, psychology & reflexology.

However, there came a point where I’d reached a crossroads in my life & so I decided to follow my joy - into the world of holistic health & wellbeing 🫶

Chinese medicine captured my interest, in particular acupuncture! ☯️
So I quit my job, went to uni to train as an acupuncturist & haven’t looked back since 💃🏻

I feel super blessed with everything that has occurred since 2020, that my business has gone from strength to strength ☺️
Big thank you to every single one of you who have supported me, referred to me & left me wonderful reviews!! 👏
I’m truly grateful 🙏❤️

This diagram is representative of the natural chemicals often released during an acupuncture treatment ☯️

Acupuncture affects neurotransmitters, including releasing endorphins (natural painkillers) and influencing serotonin, dopamine, and GABA to help regulate pain, mood, and stress.
Studies show acupuncture can increase the release of certain neurotransmitters while decreasing others, and influences the release of other neurochemicals like norepinephrine (NE) and glutamate.
The effects on these neurotransmitters are linked to acupuncture's ability to modulate the nervous system and its role in treating numerous conditions, notably pain and anxiety.

In comments is a fantastic blog giving greater insight into the ancient concept of Qi & how it equates biologically 👌🙏

One of my favourite quotes is
“We can’t always be motivated, but we can be disciplined”
A quote that resonated strongly during my degree years, inspired by my intrepid explorer son Ash, who had accomplished a gruelling solo journey on foot through the interior of Mongolia, nearly costing him his life 😳🙏

When I’m consulting, I’m not just assessing the best acupuncture prescription for my client to help aid recovery, I also take a deep dive into diet, lifestyle & emotional stability…

I’ll often give homework, not only to enhance the treatment, but to empower my client to make the changes necessary to improve their condition long term 💪

When a client commits to their healing & follows my advice, the improvement I see can be very impressive & inspirational🤩
I truly find this aspect of my work the most rewarding ❤️

However, let’s not forget how easy it is to fall off the proverbial wagon, because life will always get in the way 😌
but like the quote states, even when you feel unmotivated & you’re lacking enthusiasm, just apply a bit of discipline, don’t overthink it & do it anyway, moving forward slowly but surely👌

It may take some weeks or even months but eventually it will become habitual, second nature & going back to old habits won’t factor in your new improved world anymore 🤗☯️
