Acupuncture
Western Acupuncture combines Traditional Chinese Medicine with evidence based intervention to create a treatment that may positively influence many health and well being issues. Originating in China, Acupuncture has been a cornerstone of health and healing for over 2000 years, its ancient wisdom meets modern-day science to help restore balance in the body and mind.
By inserting thin needles into specific points on the body, western acupuncture stimulates the body’s natural healing processes. This treatment works with the flow of energy through out the body to help reset your system. By stimulating the brain, acupuncture can trigger the release of endorphins and other feel good neuro-chemicals, the body's natural pain relievers, stress relievers and mood boosters, these have a positive impact on the autonomic nervous system and can help relieve pain & inflammation and promote relaxation through out.
There is increasing evidence in support of the use of Acupuncture to help disable the effects of pain. The following article - linked here - explains how researchers followed 800 adults aged 65+ with long-term low-back pain. Participants received either, medical care only, a course of acupuncture, or acupuncture with a few additional “top-up” sessions. Across the acupuncture groups, results were consistent with reduced disability, lower pain intensity and better mobility.
This study aligns closely with what we are already seeing in UK guidance, the NICE guidelines recommend acupuncture for chronic primary pain, recognising it as a safe, non-pharmacological option that can improve quality of life. Acupuncture is becoming an increasingly important tool for persistent pain.

Auricular (Ear) Acupuncture
Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or out of balance?
Auricular acupuncture is a gentle, relaxing treatment that works through specific points on the ear to help reset your nervous system and bring you back to centre.
Using the internationally recognised NADA protocol, developed in New York in 1974 and now practised worldwide. It involves five tiny acupuncture points on one or both ears—and that’s it!
Because these points are closely linked to the vagus nerve, the treatment is deeply calming and grounding. Auricular acupuncture may support:
* Stress & Anxiety Relief
* Deep Relaxation
* Better Sleep
* Addiction & Detox Support (smoking, alcohol, medication, weight)
* Trauma Recovery
* Mental & Emotional Well being
Quiet. Restorative. Powerful. Perfect as a standalone treatment or alongside other therapies. Take a seat. Breathe. Let your nervous system unwind.
Auricular Acupuncture Session - 45 Min of Calm / £45
