Acupuncture is a time-honored healing practice that works by stimulating specific points along the body’s meridian system to restore the smooth flow of Qi (vital energy) and Blood. This gentle yet powerful technique helps relax muscles, calm the nervous system, ease pain, and stimulate the release of natural feel-good hormones and pain-relieving chemicals.

Acupuncture is used to support healing for a wide range of physical, mental, and emotional concerns. 

Treatment Options and modalities

Under the umbrella of Acupuncture there are also a variety of supportive therapies. These include Cupping to relieve muscle tension and boost circulation, Acupressure for gentle, needle-free energy balancing, and Acu-Taping, which uses kinesiology tape on meridian pathways to support posture and pain relief. We also provide Ear Acupuncture (Auriculotherapy) i.e. to target stress, addiction, pain, and allergies, and Laser Acupuncture for a non-invasive, light-based approach ideal for pain relief, post surgery, injury recovery, wound healing and especially suitable for sensitive patients or children. Each modality is tailored to your needs to support whole-body wellness.

Acupuncture

Traditional Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a holistic healing practice that works to restore balance and support the body’s natural ability to heal. By gently stimulating specific points along the body’s energy pathways (meridians), acupuncture helps to release blockages in the flow of Qi and Blood. This encourages deep relaxation, soothes the nervous system, reduces pain, and supports the release of natural feel-good chemicals. It’s commonly used to relieve discomfort, boost energy and mood, and enhance overall function and wellbeing.

Each treatment is tailored to your unique needs, addressing both the symptoms and their root causes. Whether you're seeking relief from physical pain, emotional stress, or a general sense of imbalance, acupuncture offers a time-tested path toward greater vitality and inner harmony.

Laser

Acupuncture

Laser-Acupuncture

In acupuncture, auriculotherapy, and reflex therapy, laser technology can be used as a gentle alternative to needles for point stimulation.

Laser light works at a cellular level, enhancing protein (ATP) production through mitochondrial activation. It offers powerful anti-inflammatory, analgesic, calming, and tissue-regenerating effects.

This method is fast, completely sterile, and entirely painless—making it ideal for those seeking non-invasive treatment without skin penetration.

Laser acupuncture is especially well-suited for sensitive individuals, children, and those with needle aversion. It can be used as a stand-alone treatment or to enhance the effects of traditional acupuncture and other holistic therapies.

Cupping

Acupuncture

Cupping

Cupping therapy involves creating localized suction on the skin using glass, plastic or silicone cups. This gentle vacuum effect stimulates blood circulation, loosens tight fascia, and promotes the flow of lymph—encouraging the body’s natural healing response.

It is commonly used to relieve muscle tension, reduce pain and improve mobility. Cupping may also help with stress, fatigue and respiratory issues by encouraging deep relaxation and unblocking stagnation.

Cups can be left stationary on specific points for several minutes, or glided across the skin in a dynamic technique to create a deep, therapeutic massage effect. While temporary marks may appear, these are a normal sign of stagnation being released and typically fade within a few days.

Acupuncture

Acupressure

Acupressure follows the same healing principles as acupuncture—without the use of needles. Instead, therapeutic stimulation is applied through touch or with tools such as seeds, magnets, crystals, or small massage tools.

By precisely targeting acupuncture points, meridians and energy centers, acupressure helps to restore the smooth flow of Qi and blood throughout the body. This supports deep relaxation, encourages natural healing and brings the body back into energetic balance.

Acupressure is a gentle, yet powerful method suitable for all ages. Whether used on its own or to complement other therapies, it offers a nurturing way to support physical, emotional, and energetic wellbeing.

Follow-ups

Follow-Up Treatments & Booking Recommendations
To achieve lasting results, a series of follow-up treatments is typically recommended. Most individuals benefit from 4 to 10 sessions, depending on the nature of the condition—whether it is acute or chronic—and how your body responds to treatment. In some conditions we might need more than 10 sessions. 

Please note that appointments tend to book out several weeks in advance. For this reason, I highly recommend scheduling your initial session along with 3 to 4 follow-up visits to ensure consistent care. This helps avoid long gaps between treatments, which can slow your progress.

If you're unsure which treatment length to choose, here’s a simple guideline:

  • 60-minute session – Recommended if you're addressing multiple areas or complex issues (e.g. you need treatment on both sides of your body such as knee pain and lower back discomfort, or neck tension and digestive imbalance).

  • 30 or 45-minute session – Ideal for focused care on a single area or concern (e.g. neck pain, stress, tummy aches, or hamstring tension).

Still unsure? Don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re happy to help you choose the best option for your needs.
