A time tested medicine, used widely throughout Asia, traditionally and within specialist TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) hospitals. The proven effectiveness of TCM has seen it’s use spread around the world.

 

Diagnosis consists of observation, palpation, asking questions, looking at the tongue and feeling the pulse. Acupuncture or herbal treatment is then based on your pattern, signs and symptoms.

 

Acupuncture uses fine needles inserted in carefully chosen points along the meridians. Moxibustion, electroacupuncture, Scalp and Auricular acupuncture, gua sha and cupping may also be used to increase therapeutic effect.

Moxibustion is great for pain, healing, strengthening, oedema and warming the body. Electo-acupuncture treats pain and atrophy, and cupping can treat many problems, from pain, cold in the body, or heat, phlegm, to coughs and asthma. Scalp acupuncture treats neurology and Auricular is good for acute conditions, stress, anxiety and addictions, press pellets can be left on the points for a prolonged effect in between treatments. 

For those who are needle phobic, acupressure, press needles and pellets can be used instead. 

 

Herbal medicine consultation can be included with a treatment, or as a separate consultation, both with herb cost in addition.

An ancient medicine with a  recorded clinical history of over 3000 yrs. Used traditionally throughout Asia, and in modern times also within specialist TCM Hospitals throughout China, Japan and Korea.

A full diagnosis is taken as described above, before a herbal formula to suit your pattern and symptoms is chosen. Herbs are in the form pills, capsules, or granules of pre decocted herbs. Granules are easily prepared by adding boiling water. All herbs that Lisa uses are, responsibly sourced, quality assured, and contain no animal substances.

A very gentle deeply relaxing treatment, that has profound effect on the postural alignment of the body.  Calming and restorative to the nervous system, mind, emotions and internal organ function. 

Gentle support of the bones of the head produces a natural release of tensions and trauma, allowing normal function of the bodies secondary respiration system to return. 

This technique can be extended to the pelvis and other joints of the body to allow a non forceful release and natural alignment of the body, particularly beneficial to new mothers in recovery from labour. This gentle approach makes it suitable for all ages and in conditions when forceful adjustments are not possible.

  • What our clients say

    I had my first experience of Acupuncture with Lisa for ongoing neck and shoulder pain. I had tried everything but after two sessions it went away completely. It was a very good experience. Lisa really tuned into my body and used a range of Chinese medicine techniques to investigate what I needed. I would definitely recommend this form of treatment. LS
