BodyTonic - Holistic Health Therapies

09/12/2025

I've just finished my exams for the end of year two in Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture 🎊

Just one more year to go before I'm unleashed into the world as a Chinese Medicine Practitioner. I'm so in awe of my co-students and the juggling of children that they've had to do, during this 3 year degree, and still manage to come up trumps!

Time for rest and reflection now as I journey to Northland on a well deserved trip with my beloved and my mum who has just landed, all the way from Yorkshire! I cant wait to see her tomorrow 🥰

I'll be back with you all soon. Here's to another year 🥂

🤸‍♀️So many successes, Yay!!

I've been in Acupuncture and TCM clinical practice for 6 weeks now and so far I've been successful in treating a variety of issues people have presented with. These are some examples......

Neck pain (unknown cause)
Tiredness and fatigue
Lower back pain
Meniere's disease
Hip pain
Migraines

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) takes your symptoms then pulls them apart to find the root cause. It treats not just the branches (the symptoms) but the also root to prevent future recurrences.

I feel like bit of a detective when it comes to figuring out where the disharmonies are within the body and how the internal organs interact with one another to potentially cause an imbalance and shift in the body's normal functioning. It's so so interesting and takes some time to 'get your head around'. I'm loving the results so far and can't wait to help more people.

Again, I'm in an Acupuncture clinic every Monday from 10am until 5pm in Stokes Valley. And the cost for a one hour treatment is just $50 which includes full consultation prior to the treatment - a longer treatment time will be available from your second treatment. (Should you need a second treatment!).

I'm fully booked next week, so appointments are now being taken for 13th October onwards.

Please text me on 021 1445111 for more details or to arrange an appointment.

Traditional Chinese Medicine training is NOT for the faint hearted!!

Onwards and upwards...........

Update on what I've been privileged to help with on this Acupuncture journey from the Acupuncture clinic on Mondays in Stokes Valley.

These are just some of the issues people have presented with that acupuncture has made positive changes for in just one or two sessions. Some problems are chronic issues and may take longer to remedy but there have been definite positive changes in just one session!!

Vertigo
Neck pain
Lower back pain
Chronic Fatique
Stress
Fluid retention

I've been in student clinic for just over a month and it's going really well. If you'd like to try acupuncture then now is the time as it's only $50!!!

If you dont like needles then you can still come and see me as we can do acupressure, cupping and ear seeds instead! If you'd like to discuss the potential of arranging an appointment for any Monday 10am to 4pm (last booking) then please call me on 021 1445111 or text me or email lorna@bodytonic.co.nz.

Acupuncture is absolutely amazing and works in conjunction with a thorough consultation to get to the root of the problem using Chinese Medicine philosophies.

See you soon!!

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (diagnosis and treatment) is now available on Mondays from an acupuncture clinic in Stokes Valley.

As I am a student of Traditional Chinese Medicine (currently in my 2nd year of 3) the treatments are only $50 which pays for the use of the room, equipment and mentorship of the onsite experienced Chinese Medicine Practitioner.

If you've ever wanted to try acupuncture and get to the 'root cause' of your issue then get in touch with me to arrange an appointment.

Acupuncture is not only used to help with pain management but is widely used for imbalances within the body's internal network that is making you feel poorly, tired, heavy, nauseous, dizzy, hot/cold, achy etc...... - in Western terms, perhaps tinnitus, chronic fatigue syndrome, vertigo, IBS, fluid retention, migraines, allergies, asthma, stress, etc.....

Please text me on 021 1445111 or email lorna@bodytonic.co.nz 😊

Appointment slots available are:-

Mondays - 10am,11am,12pm, 2pm,3pm,4pm.
