Nothing to do with acupuncture but I couldn’t let International Dog Day pass without celebrating my little fur baby 🐶

It’s particularly poignant as I’m away in Corfu with my family at the moment and missing little Ellie really badly. She’s a 5 year old toy cavapoo but I can rest knowing that she’s in very safe hands and being reunited with her will make returning from holiday in a week that little bit easier.

So here’s to all of the dogs in our life 🐶🥰

A bottle of champagne and a lovely surprise from an 80 year old patient.

She had been dismissed by her GP practice on many occasions because apparently back pain is ‘normal’ at that age! After a short course of acupuncture this lovely lady is now pain free for the first time in over 6 years and able to return to the things she enjoys such as walking and gardening.

Nobody’s pain should ever be dismissed no matter what their age. Contact me to find out how acupuncture could help with your pain symptoms.

A lovely bunch of flowers and a sad (and tearful) goodbye to a long term patient of mine.

I have been treating a lovely 28 year old with severe hip pain and sciatica who unfortunately was put on a waiting list for a hip replacement at such a young age. She was told she was ‘bone on bone’ and prescribed high strength painkillers which she was reluctant to take due to severe side effects.

After just 3 treatments she had a massive reduction in her pain levels and was virtually pain free after 5 sessions. For the past year I have treated her just once a month and kept her pain free naturally while she awaited necessary surgery.

Today she had her hip replacement and I’m sure she will make a swift and incredible recovery.

I may have ‘lost’ her as a patient but she went out on a real high. And I’m grateful for the several patients she has sent my way to fill her place. Never underestimate the power of word of mouth referrals.

If you are suffering with chronic pain or osteoarthritis then NICE guidelines recommend acupuncture as a first line course of treatment.

An interesting article about how acupuncture could play an even bigger role within the NHS.

Acupuncture is already included within NICE guidelines for a growing number of conditions. And as a British Acupuncture Council member I am proud to be able to offer Professional Standards Agency acupuncture.

This is why I do what I do 🥰

This is the 20 week scan of a patient’s baby who was conceived with the assistance of acupuncture. She had previously struggled to fall pregnant despite trying for nearly 2 years.

She had polycystic o***y syndrome (PCOS) but sadly wasn’t eligible for IVF on the NHS due to her BMI. She struggled with her weight because of PCOS.

After just 8 weeks of acupuncture she sent me a very excited WhatsApp showing a positive pregnancy test.

I’m very grateful that she got an extra picture at her 20 week scan to give to me along with her consent to share it anonymously.

I’m very grateful to have played a tiny part in creating a new life and helping this lovely lady to fulfill her dreams of becoming a mum 🥰

I have helped many, many women to conceive with acupuncture as a standalone treatment and alongside assisted fertility such as IVF or ICSI. Please get in touch for more information.

A few days late for mental health awareness week but the evidence that acupuncture can support the NHS in treating mental health conditions is growing rapidly!

Proud to be a Professional Standards Agency approved practitioner working in partnership with the NHS 🥰

Acupuncture is absolutely incredible for treating mental health. The impact it has on both cortisol levels and physical health conditions is second to none. AND it has no side effects 🙌

So lovely of The Acupuncture Academy to congratulate me on their page 🥰

As I’ve shared previously, I was amazed to be a finalist at the Woman Who Achieves Awards. It’s a national award with a proper judging panel which recognises and celebrates the achievements of Women in Business. It encourages business women to recognise their achievements, celebrate their successes and inspire others by becoming role models.

Well, last Friday I was genuinely shocked to find out that I had actually won an award 🥇🙌🏆

The judges selected me because not only had I taken Flo Acupuncture from a fledgling start up to fully booked with a waiting list in just 2 years, but in that time I had transformed the lives of so many individuals through acupuncture. All I can say is a massive thank you to The Acupuncture Academy for giving me the skills and support to be able to do this. I feel grateful to have such a rewarding career 🥰

It’s Mental Health Awareness Week and did you know that acupuncture can bring huge benefits when treating mental health?

I have experience in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, OCD, PMDD, bipolar, insomnia and far more.

It’s great as a standalone treatment, an add on to therapy and/or medication or to support those wanting to reduce their medication.

Contact me for more information!

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week and we want to talk about how much BAcC practitioners can help those in our communities struggling with mental health issues.

Traditional acupuncture and Chinese Medicine is a holistic discipline, and treats the whole person rather than the ‘disease’. The aetiology for depression, anxiety, and stress can be complex and varied from person to person.

In this fascinating members-only article from the recent edition of Acu Magazine, Peter Mole, Dean Emeritus of the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine, explains his integrated approach to treating anxiety combining the wisdom of Five Element theory and TCM protocols.

Wish me luck 🤞🍀🙏

A little bit of holiday fun.

Many of my patients say they wish they could take me home with them for a daily top up of acupuncture. And now you can!

Happy Easter from Flo Acupuncture 🌱☯️🪷
