Still pinching myself, such a special experience being featured on .
So grateful to have shared this journey alongside Kelly and made a different to her sleep with just one session.

Live acupuncture demonstration from a recent presentation 👇

A new patient volunteered to be my demo model with starting pain at 8/10.
After just three carefully selected points, their pain had completely gone!

As this was a live demo, you’ll also be able to hear real questions from the group.

Every patient responds differently, some people feel pain relief for a few hours, some for a few days, and some even longer.

If you’re curious about acupuncture or living with ongoing pain, it may be worth exploring.

✨ Always choose a registered acupuncturist to ensure safe, highly qualified TCM acupuncture.

A little clinic update ✨
I’m incredibly grateful to be so busy at the moment. To prioritise those already in my care and protect appointment availability, I’m not taking on new patients right now.

That said, I’m still happy to answer enquiries and take future bookings from new patients. And if you already have an existing new patient booking, your appointment is secure and that will still go ahead.
New patient appointments will resume after 2nd March.

Thank you so much for your continued trust and support 🤍

✨ Week 1 at Maggie’s… done! ✨

This Thursday I met three new groups of patients at Maggie’s Newcastle for auricular acupuncture to help ease hot flushes during and after cancer treatment.

These groups will run weekly for 8 weeks. Giving patients time to feel the cumulative effects, often helping to reduce the severity and frequency of hot flushes, improve sleep and support overall wellbeing 💚

If you’d like to join a future block, please contact Maggie’s Newcastle directly to register 🌿
(Oncology patients only)

Those circular marks you sometimes see on professional footballers, like Liverpool FC’s codymathesgakpo are from cupping therapy, a technique widely used in Chinese Medicine.

✨ Benefits of cupping may include:
• Increased local blood flow
• Reduced muscle tension
• Faster muscle recovery
• Improved movement and flexibility

And it’s not just for professional athletes 👇

💚 For everyday people, cupping may help with:
• Back, neck and shoulder pain
• Muscle recovery after exercise or long workdays
• Supporting respiratory health
• Boosting immune system function
• Reducing stress and tension
• Headaches and work-related strain

The marks are temporary and usually fade within a few days.

It’s been such a privilege to support my patients through this programme! So many of you have reported more energy, reduced fatigue, and improved sleep. Hearing how much lighter and brighter you’re feeling truly means everything. 💚

In January 2026, I’ll be running group acupuncture sessions for hot flushes at Maggie’s.
These sessions are open to oncology patients only, and spaces are limited.

If you’d like to join the next group, please contact Maggie’s directly to get booked on.

🚨 IMPORTANT: Clinic Updates 🚨 Prices and Cancellation Policy

From 18th September 2025, I’ll be changing from a 24-hour to a 48-hour cancellation policy.

Why? Recently, I’ve had an increase in cancellations over the past few months which are just outside of the 24-hour cancellation window.

Because I don’t take deposits, late cancellations mean I lose both income and valuable time that could have been offered to someone else. It’s not just the missed appointment, I still have to cover rent, membership fees, and running costs.

For every appointment, I also spend time before you arrive making sure I’m giving you the best treatment for where you are in your journey. Last-minute cancellations mean that work is already done, even if the appointment doesn’t go ahead.

👉 New Cancellation Policy:
❌ Cancel less than 48 hours before = 50% of the treatment required
❌ Cancel within 24 hours / don’t attend = full treatment cost required

💷 Price Update
From 1st October 2025, there will be a small increase to prices across all treatments due to rising operating costs. An acupuncture appointment will be £66.50, previously £65, and you can view the updated price list on my website.

I know emergencies happen, so please just let me know as soon as you can and I’ll always do my best to help.

💚 Thank you for valuing my time and expertise, and for supporting my small business.
