Quick peek into Hayling Island Acu Clinic, where health improvements happen!
Busy day dealing with tinnitus, knee problems, back issues, food allergies, and hormonal imbalances… Needles really can help! Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body to balance energy called Qi to improve circulation, get rid of blockages and solve the root of issues. These, Little Friends, support the body’s natural healing processes
• For tinnitus, it can calm the nervous system and improve blood flow to the ears.
• For knee and back problems, it reduces inflammation, relaxes tight muscles, and supports joint function.
• For food allergies, it helps regulate the immune system and reduce inflammatory responses.
• For hormonal imbalances, it can support endocrine function and bring the body back into balance.
So it not just about symptom relief. It is about supporting the whole body and mind to restore its harmony.
I’m so grateful to be following my heart fully, something I’ve dreamed of for so many years. I love my job. ❤️
Amen. 🙏

In Chinese medicine, emotional pain is never separate from the body.
*Grief, fear, and prolonged stress move through the Qi, the Blood, and our nervous system.
*Grief touches mostly the Lungs which if an Official associated with Metal Element.
The breath shortens, the chest tightens, the body struggles to let go.
*Stress constrains Liver Qi and tension settles in the neck, shoulders, jaw, and emotions feel stuck or overwhelming. We always need to observe somatic symptoms like breath and movement as our genius body shows more than the words:)

Long-term fear and uncertainty weaken our beautiful, small though powerful Kidneys. What we can observe then is our sleep becomes light, the nervous system stays alert, the body forgets how to rest.
Imagine now the life situation continues… The spirit called Shen becomes unsettled.
The mind races, the heart feels heavy, and calm feels out of reach…But from the perspective of acupuncture, these are not weaknesses. They are signals we need to look for and work wisely with. Signals that the nervous system needs regulation,
that the body needs support, that healing must happen gently, never by force. NEVER.
*
Acupuncture works with the body’s own intelligence:
to soften the breath, move stagnant Qi, calm the nerves, and anchor the spirit back into safety.
Healing does not mean “getting over” grief.
It means allowing it to move without overwhelming the body.
If you are moving through grief, separation, or prolonged stress and feel it in your body, acupuncture can help support your nervous system during this time.

Shoulder pain - Melt Tension and Release the Weight You Carry 🌿

In Chinese Medicine, shoulder pain is rarely just physical. The shoulders are where we carry our burdens, responsibility, pressure, and unspoken emotions. When life feels heavy, the Qi (vital energy) around this area can become tight and stagnant, showing up as stiffness, tension, or pain.

Great Acupuncture Points for Release ✨

* GB21 (Jianjing) — The “Letting Go” point. Found at the top of the shoulder, it helps melt physical and emotional tension, releases neck and shoulder tightness, and encourages deeper breathing and calm.

* SI11 (Tianzong) — The “Heavenly Gathering.” This point sits in the heart of the shoulder blade, where stress and suppressed emotions often lodge. It opens the chest, soothes the Heart, and helps you exhale what no longer serves you.

*SI12 & SI13 — Work gently along the upper back and shoulder to free trapped energy, improve circulation, and restore natural movement between body and mind.

Together, these points create space for your shoulders to soften, your breath to deepen, and your spirit to feel lighter again 🙏🏻❤️

Acupuncture doesn’t just treat pain. It invites harmony back into places that have been holding too much for too long. 🌸

In Chinese Medicine, illness is not a random event but a message from the body and spirit. It arises when the natural flow of Qi our vital life energy, becomes blocked or imbalanced through stress, emotional tension, or disconnection from our authentic rhythm. Each symptom carries wisdom, showing where harmony has been lost. Healing, then, is not just about removing pain but restoring flow between body and mind, effort and rest, giving and receiving. When energy moves freely, we return to balance, vitality, and peace within. 🌿✨

As the seasons shift, your body needs a little extra care to stay balanced and strong. In Five Element Acupuncture, immunity begins with harmony, with nurturing your breath, digestion, and energy so your natural defences can flow freely.
By supporting the Lung, Spleen, and Kidney systems, acupuncture helps you feel grounded, resilient, and connected to your body’s own wisdom.

See you at the Acu Clinic 🫶

Beautiful lady came to the Joy Clinic today asking for help in her grieving and mental support through this difficult time for her. We have honoured both in our practice, her Earth nature and the Metal season. Grief can leave the Earth Element feeling empty and unsupported, while the Lungs (Metal) hold the sorrow of autumn.
My focus was to nourish her center, strengthen her ability to receive support, and gently open the lungs so grief can move rather than stagnate. Needles have done their magic to anchor her, soften the weight of loss. It was beautiful to observe how the quiet sense of belonging was rising with her.
Some of the points I have used:
• ST36 (Zusanli) – to ground, nourish, and restore Earth’s strength.
• SP6 (Sanyinjiao) – to harmonize yin, soothe the heart, and replenish her reserves.
• CV12 (Zhongwan) – to center and calm, easing worry and heaviness.
• LU9 (Taiyuan) – to tonify her Lung Qi, support letting go, and invite breath and inspiration. Her breath was very shallow in the beginning of the session, much deeper at the end.
• LU7 (Lieque) – to release grief, open the chest, and connect her to the larger flow of life around her
• KI27 (Shufu) – to ease the chest and help her to feel supported and safe. She was leaving the treatment room in much more ease and grounded
This treatment was a gentle bridge between Earth and Metal, helping my patient to grieve while staying nourished and held. Every body is a wise body and once guided wisely, will look for its natural strength.
