Root Point Acupuncture

and I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the fabulous ladies who attended our first Seasonal Balance Session ❤️

We could not have hoped for a lovelier group!

Everything about the Seasonal Balance Session is designed to harmonise the body within the current season.

In TCM, spring pretains to the Wood element, representing growth and renewal. It is a time for nurturing the Liver and Gallbladder systems. Todays event was designed to do just that.

With all Yin movements and acupuncture focused on releasing and harmonising the Liver and Gallbladder, complemented by the nourishing refreshments, which were all based in TCM nutrition to support the seasons organ systems.

We are honestly so grateful for the lovely feedback we have received and can't wait for summer to roll round to run our next Seasonal Balance event!

International Women’s Day 2026

This year’s theme is Give to Gain.

As women, we give every day—
as business owners, graduates, mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, aunties, and friends.

We give ideas, care, leadership, resilience, and work that often goes unseen.

But equality means recognising that what women give is not extra—it is foundational.

When women are valued, supported, and equal, everyone gains.

Today, I celebrate the power of what women give to the world—and the future we gain when that contribution is truly recognised.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, healthy sleep depends on balanced Yin–Yang, the smooth flow of Qi, and a calm Shen (spirit).

Acupuncture is traditionally used to settle the nervous system, restore internal balance, and support natural sleep rhythms. It is a low-risk, non-pharmacological option that can support better sleep

EVIDENCE BASED MEDICINE, ROOTED IN THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF CLINICAL WISDOM

Acupuncture is often described as ancient medicine, yet modern science continues to uncover how profoundly it interacts with the nervous system.

From a Western medical perspective, acupuncture works by stimulating specific points that communicate directly with the brain and spinal cord. This stimulation influences the release of neurotransmitters such as endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine—chemicals responsible for pain modulation, mood regulation, and relaxation.

Research also shows acupuncture can:

• Reduce inflammation
• Improve blood circulation
• Regulate the autonomic nervous system
• Support the body’s natural healing response

Rather than masking symptoms, acupuncture helps the body recalibrate and restore balance from within.

Nature highlighting on today's gentle walk winters yin stillness and the opportunity it provides for reflection.

Happy New Year, everyone!

As temping as it is to rush into new beginnings and goal setting, remember that your body is still working in the season. Be gentle with yourselves ☯️ X

All finished for the Christmas holidays!

Today were the last treatments of 2025.

I would like to take this opportunity to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has trusted and involved me in their health care journey this year.

Since opening the doors to RootPointAcu back in April, I have been continuously blown away by the support and interest shown to me and the services I bring to the local community.

I am truly honoured to be serving such an amazing community, and I am so grateful for your support.

I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and all the best for 2026!

If you’re a man who lives with migraine, then you’re in good company, both modern and historically. Some of the most famous people in the world lived/live with migraine, e.g.
• Julius Caesar (Roman Consul and Dictator),
• Lewis Carroll (Author of Alice in Wonderland),
• Elvis Presley (King of R & R),
• Tony Cascarino (Irish Soccer player),
• Paul Scholes (former soccer player for a certain team that is not Liverpool YNWA 😉)
• Ben Affleck (yes Batfleck),
• Hugh Jackman, (aka Wolverine)
The point is, no one would call any of these men weak, so why would you consider yourself, or another man weak if he went to the doctor about his migraine?
Men, go to your doctor and teach your sons that it’s okay to do this too!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by yesterday.

Since opening RootPointAcu in April, the local support and enthusiasm shown towards my Annagry based clinic has been simply amazing, and I am so grateful to you all!

As usual, the atmosphere was energising being surrounded by other holistic therapists, and some lovely networking may result in future collaborative treatments, so watch this space 😉

Thank you to the organisers and, again, to everyone who took time to stop and chat.
