Ripples Acupuncture and Holistic Services.

Is Gua Sha relaxing? It is at Ripples.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, “Gua” means to stroke or scrape, and “Sha” is the temporary redness that can appear on the skin. This is due to an increase in circulation where there has been stagnation.

Gua Sha shouldn’t be painful. The tool is glided over the skin with oil, alongside massage, to help release muscle tension.

The aim isn’t to scrape the skin forcefully or create dramatic bruising. A light flush or small marks can appear, but sometimes there are no marks at all — and that’s completely fine. The goal is simply to encourage movement in the fascia and tissue to help the body settle and recover.

Take back your life and movement with Ripples Acupuncture

Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, my approach isn’t about chasing symptoms.

I take the time to understand what’s happening underneath — the patterns, the imbalances, the root cause — so your body has the support it needs to truly heal.

Ripples Acupuncture…….more than just needles.

I’m pleased to announce I’ll soon be stocking Zheng Xie Gu Shui (Evil Bone Water)— a traditional Chinese herbal liniment used in clinic to support recovery from muscle aches, injuries, sprains, and bruising.

A trusted remedy in Chinese medicine for generations, it’s ideal for soothing soreness, improving circulation to injured areas, and helping you get moving again.

Happy Chinese New Year

The Year of the Fire Horse starts today

Energy rises. Momentum builds. Things move fast.

When energy flows well, we thrive.
When it runs ahead of us, we burn out.

Chinese acupuncture helps keep the rhythm steady.
