Acupuncture gets a great write up in this week's edition of Chat Magazine, in an article featuring a patient of BAcC acupuncturist Sahar Hooti from AcuCare Clinic International. Sahar's patient Leanne Curran from Portsmouth, explained how traditional acupuncture helped her get her life back after struggling with chronic fatigue and pain as a result of ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis). According to the ME Association, over 400,000 people in the UK are currently living with ME, and with over 1 million people reporting symptoms of chronic fatigue as a result of Long Covid, that number is steadily increasing. The article recommends that if you would like to try acupuncture to help manage symptoms for ME, or for any health concern, you can find your nearest BAcC registered, and PSA accredited acupuncturist here https://acupuncture.org.uk/find-an-acupuncturist/

Every week we hold up to 8 blood test clinics - that is around 190 appointments!

We do not take direct bookings or walk-ins but your GP practice has access to book these appointments so they may offer you one with us - you can ask the person booking your appointment to check our availability if you would prefer to come here.

We will always send you a confirmation SMS message, and a further reminder SMS message the day before your appointment.

𝗕𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗥𝘂𝗻𝘀 — 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗻𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗕𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗱

Before the Fire Horse breaks free,
the Snake finishes her work.

🐍 Snake energy is subtle. Quiet. Internal.

𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨:
• Survive silently
• Observe before acting
• Hold your power close
• Shed identities in private

𝘚𝘯𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.

They change you — but mostly where no one can see it. And now? That phase is ending.

Fire Horse energy does not move quietly.
She moves out loud.

𝐈𝐟 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐯𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐭:
• Less patient with staying hidden
• Unwilling to keep shedding in silence
• Ready to be seen, not just healed
• Done molting the same skin over and over

𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.

The Snake asks: Who are you becoming?
The Fire Horse asks: Why aren’t you living it yet?

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐨𝐰:
• Old survival strategies
• Identities built in silence
• Wisdom that stayed tucked away

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭:
• Movement
• Expression
• Visibility
• Choice

You are not “leaving something unfinished.”
You are leaving a skin that no longer fits.

Let the Snake rest.
The Fire Horse is already pawing at the ground.

𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙢𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩.
Do you feel yourself shedding?
