My services
Dedication. Expertise. Passion.
Chinese medicine uses many therapies to support your health. In an appointment I may use a combination of the following therapies:
Japanese Acupuncture
A gentle and refined style of acupuncture that uses very fine needles and subtle techniques. It focuses on regulating the body’s Qi with minimal discomfort. This approach emphasises palpation through the pulse and abdomen, to guide diagnosis and treatment.

Herbal Medicine
As a licensed acupuncturist, I prescribe high-quality patent herbal formulas. These traditional formulas are selected based on your individual presentation to support internal balance and may assist with a range of concerns, including digestion, sleep, and hormonal health. Herbs help address the underlying disharmony and support your health between appointments.

Traditional Dry Needling
A modern technique that targets tight or sensitive muscle points (trigger points) to relieve pain and improve movement. It is particularly effective for musculoskeletal conditions such as neck, shoulder, and lower back pain.

Traditional Dry Needling
Moxibustion
A heat therapy that involves burning a herb called mugwort (Ai Ye) on specific acupuncture points. Moxibustion is a therapy I am particularly passionate about, so depending on its intended purpose I may use different forms. The forms include rice grain moxa, cone moxa, ondan (needle head) or stick moxa.

Chinese Cupping Therapy
Fire cups may be used to help relieve stagnation, promote Qi and blood flow, release muscle tension and support recovery. The cups may leave temporary marks on the skin which are used diagnostically and usually fade within a week.
