Happy Chinese New Year!!
2026 is the year of the horse.
Horses are energetic, free spirits who need space to express themselves.
If you were born in the years 1954, 1966, 1979, 1900, 2002 and 2014 you could be a horse according to Chinese Zodiac.

We get asked a lot in clinic how or why we became Acupuncturists and the simple answer is because we are passionate about helping people to feel better.

We try our best to support all our patients in the best way we can. It underpins everything we do.

So we promise to always listen and support you whatever you come to clinic for.

If you want more info about what we do, then visit our website, link above. Any questions, just get in touch or speak to reception on 01924 369077 to leave a message for us.

I have been busy this month starting work on the Northern College of Acupuncture's Nutritional Diploma. One of the things it has reminded me of is that how we eat is important, as well as what we eat.

So, whilst it is important to eat good quality, nutrient dense foods, here are some things you can think about and try to incorporate when it comes to how to eat.

*Eat more slowly and chewing your food well.
*Taking time to sit rather than grab and go.
*Leave at least 2-3 hours after your last meal of the day before going to bed.
*Good posture when eating is important.
*Don't eat too much or too little (balance!)
*Prioritise warm foods, particularly in cold months.
*Avoid excess raw, cold and Damp foods.
*Don't swamp your Stomach with fluid just before a meal.

So next time you sit down to eat, have a think about how you are eating and try to incorporate as many of the above as you can. Your digestion will thank you!!

Thanks, Catherine.

The little cupboard shelf in clinic is getting quite full now, and I feel very blessed to be gifted such wonderful items. The new addition is a Quartz Crystal Tree, and the little slip with it tells us what it is for.

"Known as the Master Healer as it can be beneficial to any physical condition whilst also offering mental clarity and emotional balance. It is often used in grid work as it is said to enhance the energy of other

Perfect for an Acupuncture clinic then! Thank you to the person who gave me this, so kind.

Happy Friday everyone, hope you are having a good day, whatever you are doing.

Thanks, Catherine.

I get this question a lot from my lovely patients and the answer is yes and no!!

Yesterday I fell over on the ice walking my dogs. It must have looked quite spectacular as 2 other dog walkers came running to check I was OK. My pride had taken a fall too, and I was in shock, so I promptly got up and said thank you and that I was fine and took the boys for their usual length walk.

When I got home I realised things were starting to hurt. So I took some time last night to use some Acupuncture points to help with that. I promptly fell asleep once the needles were in (you are not the only one that does this) and woke up 20 minutes later to take them out.

This morning I feel loads better with no obvious pain. I find Acupuncture as first aid is often how I use it on myself. It can stave off a headache or a cold and help with pain.

However, I do go for Acupuncture regularly too with someone else. I have done this for about 20 years now, and started long before I became an Acupuncturist. And yes I often fall asleep on their couch too!! Self care is so important and I take it very seriously so I can continue to look after my patients.

I am looking forward to continuing to welcome my current and some new patients in clinic this month. We have a busy few weeks. If you want to start working with us, get in touch. Link in bio.

Thanks, Catherine. 😊

Today marks the Winter Solstice which happens at 15:03 this afternoon. The word 'solstice' comes from the Latin sol, meaning 'sun', and sistere - to 'stand still'. Link in comments if you want to read a bit more about it.

From a Chinese Medicine point of view Winter is the time for rest and quiet ahead of Spring when things start emerging again. So try to take a bit more time in this busy period to rest and sleep more if you can. Stay warm and eat warm, nourishing whole foods. Take warm drinks.

I will be in clinic Monday and Tuesday next week and then will be taking some time out and back on 5th January. Helen will be in on Tuesday 30th and Friday 2nd for anyone needing treatment. Get in touch with reception on 01924 369077 for any enquiries and they will get you booked in.

Thanks, Catherine.
