Welcome to a world of holistic healing and balance, where the ancient wisdom of Chinese Medicine and South Asian Medicine meets modern-day natural health treatments. At the heart of these principles lie a profound understanding of well-being as a harmonious blend of Mind, Body, and Spirit. These holistic approaches have been practised for thousands of years across different modalities and offer deep insights into living in harmony with oneself and the world.
Many people associate acupuncture with treating physical conditions such as chronic pains, headaches or migraines. The Mind-Body-Spirit programme is a highly individualised natural health treatment aimed at bringing the body back into balance as it treats you, the patient, as a whole. Diagnosis looks at the root cause of ill health and treatment plans are formulated accordingly. There is no ‘one size fits all’.
I treat many patients who present a number of complicated health conditions, and Mind-Body-Spirit aims to deal with the root cause of imbalances rather than symptom chasing. This approach helps to correctly identify where it is all stemming from. I also treat patients that don't have a specific ailment; however, they choose to have acupuncture simply because they feel out of kilter. This could be due to any number of things, including a stressful lifestyle, poor diet or emotional worries, all of which can result in a lack of energy. These issues, in turn, can lead to an inability to relax/switch off and difficulty sleeping, leaving us feeling generally unwell and unbalanced.
When you embark on your well-being, you can expect changes on many profound levels!
