Welcome

 

Traditional Oriental Medicine believes good health comes from maintaining a state of dynamic balance within our body and our environment. Illness occurs when our equilibrium is upset through such things as excessive or prolonged stress, insufficient rest, trauma, worry, poor diet, constitutional weakness or environmental conditions.

 

"Energy imbalance - its excess or insufficiency - is the root of
illness; it’s absence is death" Yoshio Manaka, M.D.

 

Symptoms are distress signals sent out by the body alerting us to an imbalance of energy or Qi. Acupuncture and shiatsu aim to restore this natural balance by regulating the flow of Qi in the body through the insertion of needles, massage (shiatsu) and the application of heat (moxibustion). Appropriate treatment combined with the right exercise, the right diet, sufficient rest and right thinking can bring about a deeper sense of relaxation, an improvement in energy levels, a reduction in pain levels and a healthier approach to the stressors in your life. As illness arises through an imbalance of energy, acupuncture and shiatsu are very affective when used as a preventative treatment aimed at maintaining health on all levels.

Treatments are tailored for your specific needs and particular sensitivities. I use a very gentle approach so that I can assess how your body is responding to the treatment and can make adjustments in order to provide you with the best results.

 

Treatment methods include Acupuncture, Moxibustion, Shiatsu, Sotai, Cupping, Auricular Acupuncture, Intradermal Needles & Press Tack Needles, Facial Revitalisation Acupuncture, Japanese Facial Massage & Ear Candling.
