💛 Research Participants Needed: Exploring the Emotional Impact of Long Waits for Gynaecological & Reproductive Care 💛

Hi, I’m Rachel Stanners, a qualified person-centred counsellor and MSc Counselling & Psychotherapy student at the University of Salford. I’m conducting a study looking at the emotional and psychological impact of long waiting times for gynaecological and reproductive healthcare including fertility treatment, surgery and diagnosis.

I’m looking to hear from people in the UK who:
• Are 18+
• Speak English
• Have first-hand experience of female reproductive organs
• Have experienced long or distressing waits for any gynaecological or reproductive care (e.g., fertility, endometriosis, fibroids, surgery, diagnosis)

Participation involves a confidential 1-hour online interview. Your contributions are anonymous, and you only share what you’re comfortable with.

If this sounds like you, please get in touch and learn more. Your experiences will help shine a light on the personal impact of being “stuck in limbo” and could help improve support for others.

Email R.E.Stanners@edu.salford.ac.uk

This study has University of Salford Research Ethics Committee approval.

Brilliant post. Let's talk about the P word

Whatever language and construct we use, period problems are my jam.

You do NOT need to have them.

Fundamentally they are a symptom, a sign of a bigger imbalance.

If you are over having problem periods, talk to me about how I can help.

I have a great toolkit and have helped so many women.

Free confidential intro consults available. Just DM or email me.

👣 So, this was a special treatment, using smoky moxa on an acupuncture point to support an early pregnancy with a history of, and at risk of, miscarriage, with recurrent bleeding.

Very happy to report that this wee one is now over the 12-week mark. It's a complex case with immune factors, and so, absolutely delighted that each time, bleeding and symptoms stopped with acupuncture and moxa.

Specialist EARLY PREGNANCY CLINIC is exclusively at VitaliQi and helping women become pregnant and stay pregnant is one of my absolute joys and why I am here and do what I do - and have been doing for over 13 years now.

Treatment is safe from the first days of pregnancy through to post-natal support. If you need support, please contact me for a free confidential intro consult. There is no need to wait.

Just wish you could SMELL this gorgeous herb burning! 👣

Update...thank you thank you for all your kind words Nd gorgeous posts. Feeling a bit overwhelmed but in a good way! I've been struggling with a poorly ankle for over 3 months and still hobbling about..so it's been hard work keeping going..and these make all the difference. MRI today (and then I bashed car on way out of car park, one of those days) so thank you for ❤️

PLATINUM HALL OF FAME: One Acupuncture Makes History with 3rd Consecutive Award 🏆

We're absolutely thrilled to announce that Alison Savory and One Acupuncture® have made HISTORY by winning the prestigious PLATINUM AWARD - entering the Hall of Fame as an unprecedented 3rd consecutive year Acupuncture Clinic of the Year South West winner.

2022/23 ✅
2023/24 ✅
2024/25 ✅ = PLATINUM HALL OF FAME STATUS

What makes this recognition so special? The judges consistently praise Alison's unwavering commitment to excellence - undertaking thousands of hours of formal post-graduate training since qualifying with First Class Honours in 2012. As a dedicated life-long learner, she's deeply committed to developing her clinic skills to better serve her patients.

One Acupuncture's holistic Traditional East Asian Medicine approach supports people with fertility concerns, pregnancy care, mental health, pain, inflammation, and supports those at all stages on a cancer journey - with every patient treated as one whole person. Alison has helped multiple thousands of patients over her career.

For Pain Relief: "If you are skeptical about acupuncture then seriously book an appointment because once you see the benefits, there really isn't much that compares to it. Alison's approach is also spot on, she's informative, helps you understand what's going on and recommends things to help you. Acupuncture has been my lifeline for pain relief and I wouldn't go anywhere else".

You can read100s of patient testimonials here too https://bit.ly/alisonsavoryreviews

Not content with this achievement, Alison's mission is to increase access to high quality degree-level acupuncture in North Devon. Sadly, acupuncture is not regulated, so people are offering treatment with only 1-2 days of training. To remedy this, she has created, at VitaliQi Holistic Health Clinic, North Devon's largest acupuncture clinic and VitaliQi offers access to a wide range of holistic therapies:

• Acupuncture & Chinese Herbal Medicine
• PEMF Therapy
• Light Therapy (LLLT)
• Tui Na Massage
• Cupping
• Qi Gong & Amerta Movement
• Reflexology & Reiki
• EFT/Tapping
• Massage Therapy
• Nutritional Therapy
• Integrative Counselling
• Facial Acutherapy & Microneedling

All therapists offer free online introductory consultations.

Here it is! The first public GLOBAL map of Neoclassical (NCA) Acupuncturists - of whom there are 20 dedicated souls in the UK and Ireland. However, there is only ONE in the South West 😊

Thank you to my colleague Ching Liu for creating the map.

Also, please do read my post from earlier today about the power of NCA. This is the foundation of my practice and I am forever grateful to my teacher Dr Slate Burris for all he has done to develop this neoclassical approach and so generously teach it to students across the world. I am very proud to be a small part of this medicine, which helps so many people.

Thank you to my fellow NCAers, who share, guide and support - we are very blessed.

Absolutely delighted to share the first public GLOBAL map of all the Neoclassical (NCA) Acupuncturists worldwide.

https://tinyurl.com/NCAPractitioners

Having studied and practised NCA since 2022 with my respected teacher Dr Slate Burris (USA/Mexico), this reconceptualisation of acupuncture, rooted in the classics, has radically and forever changed my practice. I am forever grateful for his teaching.

This is in large part how I can achieve the rapid and transformational change in people. Fundamentally rebalancing the body and mind in 3-dimensions and clearing any obstacles or blocks - it allows the free flow of energy and the body rights itself.

The post below is from 2023 and made me so happy to see again that I just had to share! Maps to follow :)

There are now 18 of us trained in NCA in the UK and I have gained Level 3 Advanced, with dedicated 4 years of study and in-person training. I am the only person in the whole South West. People come from all over the UK and indeed the world, and I am very happy to be re-opening access to VIP Intensives from October. This includes 4 days in clinic and optional access to a range of additional holistic therapies at . We build your programme according to hwat you need. Please contact if you would like to know more.

Makes my heart happy when peoples' lives change.

Way back in 2012, I won a national research award from the British Acupuncture Council for my Acupuncture degree dissertation that researched how acupuncture reduced the use of pain medications through a literature review of all the available clinical papers on acupuncture for pain that recorded this as secondary endpoint.

Having clinical evidence is one thing, seeing this translated into the joy of someone who has been on heavy pain meds for a decade become and stay pain-med free after 4 sessions, is another.

So, if you have chronic back pain (or know someone who does) and nothing is shifting, I really do urge you to book a free consult or a first session in clinic.

One Acupuncture is exclusively based at VitaliQi Holistic Health Clinic, the largest Acupuncture clinic in North Devon.

Acupuncture Clinic of the Year SW (2023, 2024 & 2025)

CHRONIC BACK PAIN? REAL RESULTS DELIVERED HERE 🌟

Do you struggle with years of back problems that keep getting worse?

Mike from Devon knows exactly how you feel.

"I suffered with back problems for many years. As I've got older the levels of pain has been getting progressively worse and more debilitating."

After his third and fourth sessions, the results truly amazed him.
And best yet – after 10 years on op**te pain medications he is now pain medication free.

“The impact of treatment has been truly life-changing for me."
