💥Electro-acupuncture
Learning new clinical skills💥

I treat a number of patients with chemo induced peripheral neuropathy and have had varying success with this tricky condition. I'd heard that electro-acupuncture (EA) could be helpful so I booked myself on a course today (and braved some pretty miserable weather along the way).

And what a brilliant course it was!

I now have another tool in my toolkit, not only for peripheral neuropathy, but for many other conditions including:
- frozen shoulders
- tennis and golfers elbow
- sciatica
- Achilles tendinopathy
- gout
- knee pain
- lower back pain
- carpel tunnel
- digestive issues like diarrhea and constipation
- women's health issues like PMS, PCOS, IVF support
- bladder issues
and more

Not only did we learn about these techniques but, more importantly, we practiced them and got to experience techniques on ourselves so we know how you feel when treated.

Next step is to buy my own EA machine... a Christmas pressie 'to me'.

🌌 Heaven • Human • Earth

In Chinese philosophy — and in practices like Tai Chi, Qigong, and acupuncture — we often talk about the harmony of Heaven, Human, and Earth.

✨ Heaven is the great rhythm of life — the sun rising, the seasons shifting, the flow of Qi that moves through everything.
When we rise with the morning light, practice outdoors, or simply pause to look at the sky and breathe deeply, we’re connecting with Heaven.

🌱 Earth is our foundation — the ground beneath our feet, the food that nourishes us, the body we live in.
We connect with Earth each time we eat warm, seasonal food, walk barefoot, or slow down enough to feel our weight sink through our feet in standing meditation.
Acupuncture also helps us ground — bringing energy back into the body when life pulls us too far into our heads.

🧘‍♀️ Human stands between Heaven and Earth — the bridge that links the two.
Through awareness, movement, and breath, we can bring Heaven’s light into Earth’s steadiness.
Each time we move mindfully through Tai Chi or Qigong, we are harmonising these two forces within us.

When Heaven, Human, and Earth move together, life flows more smoothly.
We feel calm, connected, and aligned — rooted in the Earth, open to Heaven, and fully present in ourselves.

That’s the heart of healing and practice — coming back into balance with the natural flow of life. 🌿

I'm a Classical Chinese acupuncturist based in Reigate (private clinic at the Reigate Wellbeing Centre) and Merstham (lower cost community multibed).

I tailor each and every treatment to the specific needs of the patient - whether that's in the private or lower cost, multibed setting.

You won't get the same set of points every time you see me because you're never quite the same each time we meet.

If you're interested in finding out more about my clinics or my approach to treatment please check acupuncture Acupuncture Surrey or www.acupuncture-surrey.co.uk or email me on info@acupuncture-surrey.co.uk.

Running an acupuncture business is about more than just treating patients in clinic

Behind the scenes on the weekend at Acupuncture Surrey

This weekend I've been:
- sending reminders to my patients (I really must get that online booking system set up)
- making gift bags for the private clinic patients (including a special child-friendly bag)
- restocking my flyers
- doing clinic laundry
- responding to patient emails
- backing up files and preparing for the week ahead
- researching some complex cases from both a Chinese and Western medicine perspective.
- keeping on top of my FB updates

I have an appointment available in the new private clinic in Reigate from 12.30-2 tomorrow (Friday 10th).

It also falls under my special offer where you get a £20 discount. So an initial appointment is £60 (rather than the usual £80) and £40 (rather than £60) for a follow up appointment.

If you're interested please email me today (Thursday 9th) on info@acupuncture-surrey.co.uk

Autumn is the time of metal in Chinese Medicine. It's about differentiating between what is valuable and what can be put down or let go of.

I love this Winnie the Pooh post which talks about exactly this concept.

Well worth a read and some reflection.

“Pooh,” said Piglet softly, “how do you know when it’s time to step away from things that make you sad?”
Pooh thought about this very carefully, because it was a question that touched both the heart and the tummy, and those were the most important sorts of questions. “Well, Piglet,” he said, “sometimes you notice that certain places or certain thoughts feel too heavy, like carrying too many honey pots all at once. And then you remember—it’s all right to set some of them down.”
Piglet tilted his head. “But isn’t that leaving things behind?”
Pooh shook his head gently. “Not leaving, Piglet. Just choosing. Choosing to keep what makes you warm inside and putting down what makes your paws ache. Because even in the Hundred Acre Wood, not every path is meant for every day. Some paths lead to sunshine, and some only to thistles.”
Piglet gave a little sigh of relief. “So self-care is knowing which path to walk?”
“Exactly,” said Pooh. “It’s remembering that it’s not selfish to take care of your heart. Because when your heart is lighter, you have more to share with the friends who need you most.”
And with that, Pooh leaned back against the log, flower in hand, tea steaming beside him, and decided that the best kind of strength wasn’t carrying everything, but knowing when to carry less.

Perhaps you are wondering why I am posting this here...

Tai chi and qigong are more than just physical practices. They are an opening into exploring your nature as a being stood between heaven and earth (the Chinese term for this is tian-ren-di - literally, heaven-man-earth).

By becoming aware of our nature we see possibilities to shape how we are in the world.

For me, I recognised that I wanted to work to support the health, wellbeing and happiness of my community. That's why I trained as an acupuncturist and tai chi and qigong teacher. This brings me fulfilment and joy.

What is your true nature?

What brings you fulfilment and joy?
