Mums do so much for everyone else always putting themselves last. This is her turn

Give her the space to properly switch off, breathe, and feel looked after this Mother’s Day. Not just a gift… but real time to feel at ease with her body.

There’s 20% off all treatments for a limited time (excluding stress acupuncture), so it’s the perfect moment to treat her to something that actually supports her health, comfort, and overall wellbeing.

If you’d like to grab a voucher, just get in touch. Let’s make sure she feels truly appreciated this year. A handful of sessions will help her a lot more than a handful of flowers will.

🌿 Are Your Teens Getting Ready for Exams?

Can you already see the stress building — and wish there was something gentle and effective to help?

I offer Ear Acupuncture (Auricular Therapy) to help reduce stress and anxiety in teens, especially during exam time.

🌿 How It May Help Teens

Auricular acupuncture works by stimulating specific nerve points in the ear that connect to the brain and autonomic nervous system — helping to regulate the body’s stress response.

Potential benefits include:

😌 Reduced anxiety and emotional overwhelm

🧠 Improved focus and mental clarity

😴 Better sleep

💬 Support during exams or social stress

🧘 A calmer nervous system (less “fight-or-flight” mode)

It is widely used in community clinics and wellness settings because it is gentle, minimally invasive, and generally very well tolerated.

👩‍⚕️ Is It Safe for Teens?

Yes — when:

Performed by a licensed acupuncturist

Using sterile, single-use needles

With parental consent and appropriate consultation

⭐ Client Spotlight – Parker

Parker came to see me with his mum, who was looking for support to help him manage school stress and cope with bullying.

Parker says:

“I hate needles and really didn’t want this done, but I gave it a try. I didn’t notice a big change after the first session, but after a few treatments I started to feel real differences. I don’t get as upset when the bullies start, and I’ve been able to focus on what I need to much more easily.”

Mum says:

“Getting Parker to focus on anything was a nightmare because everything revolved around his struggles with bullying. Now his anxiety is so much better. He’s back to the son I remember — not constantly feeling like the world is against him — and he’s managing stressful situations in a much healthier way.”

📚 With Exams Looming…

If your child is feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or struggling to cope with school pressure, now is the time to put support in place.

I would highly recommend having a conversation about how ear acupuncture may help your teen feel calmer, more focused, and better equipped to handle exam season.

Client Spotlight: Jo’s Journey

Jo first came to see me for chronic shoulder pain — 30 years of tension and stubborn knots. We worked consistently with dry needling to release those deep-held patterns.

When I mentioned weight loss acupuncture, she laughed at the idea of “a pin in the ear” helping with cravings.

Her words:

“I first met Stabby (term of endearment!) for pain issues and laughed when he mentioned weight loss through a pin in my ear.
But I was wrong. The acupuncture, coupled with my exercise routines, has seen me drop weight to the point that I can now go for the surgery I need.”

Not only did Jo reduce her sweet cravings, but she’s also lost weight and moved closer to better health overall.

This is why we treat the whole person — not just the pain.

Tight muscles? Achy joints? Niggling Pains? Weight Loss? Stress Management?
Let me help you make it easier

Dad joke alert to start the week lol

Fibromyalgia is often associated with myofascial trigger points—tight, sensitive areas within muscles that can amplify pain and cause stiffness, fatigue, and referred pain throughout the body. These trigger points can make everyday movement uncomfortable and disrupt sleep.

Dry needling works by gently targeting these muscle knots with thin, sterile needles. This helps the muscle relax, improves blood flow, and reduces tension in the nervous system. When used alongside exercise or physical therapy, dry needling can enhance movement, support better sleep, and improve overall quality of life.

Because fibromyalgia affects everyone differently, dry needling is most effective as part of a personalised treatment plan.
