Purple Iris Acupuncture Hi, I'm Vicky, a qualified acupuncture practitioner and a member of the British Acupuncture Council.

“How long will I need acupuncture for?”
It’s one of the most common questions I’m asked — and the honest answer is: it depends.

🌿 If your issue is recent or mild (like a new injury or tension headache), you might feel better after just a few sessions.

🌿 If you’re dealing with something more long-term — like menopause symptoms, chronic pain, anxiety, or fatigue — it usually takes longer. Most people start with 6–8 weekly sessions, then we review and adjust as needed.

🌿 Acupuncture works cumulatively, which means regular sessions at the beginning give your body the best chance to shift and heal.

The good news? Many people begin to feel small but powerful changes early on — like better sleep, more energy, or a calmer mind.

✨ And over time, those small shifts add up to real transformation.

You won’t be coming forever — but as your body rebalances, some people choose to continue with “top-up” sessions monthly or seasonally for ongoing wellness.

If you’re wondering what a treatment plan might look like for you, just send me a message. I’m happy to talk it through 💜

🌿 Curious about what happens during an acupuncture session? 🌿

If you’ve ever wondered what actually goes on during a treatment, here’s a little peek behind the scenes…

💬 1. We chat first.
Every session starts with a relaxed conversation about how you are—physically, emotionally, mentally. We’ll talk about your symptoms, sleep, energy, digestion, and anything else that feels relevant.

👅 2. I check your pulse and tongue.
These are traditional tools in acupuncture to help me understand what’s going on beneath the surface.

🪡 3. Then come the needles (don’t worry—they’re tiny!).
Ultra-fine needles are gently placed on specific points—often on your legs, arms, back, or abdomen. Most people barely feel a thing. Some feel a dull ache, tingling, or just a sense of calm.

😌 4. You rest and recharge.
You’ll lie back and relax while the needles do their work. Many people find this time deeply restful—some even fall asleep!

🌸 5. Aftercare & support.
Once the needles are removed, we’ll check in and chat about how you’re feeling. You might feel calm, lighter, or more energised as your body begins to rebalance.

✨ Acupuncture is about more than symptoms—it’s about restoring your whole self.
If you’re feeling out of sorts, stuck, or just not yourself, this gentle, powerful medicine can help.

Have you heard about the aura ring? It monitors your health a bit like a Fitbit etc

Today my patient came for a follow up appointment and they happen to have an aura ring. The aura ring made a list of when they were at their most relaxed. Number 1 was when they were sleeping and at number 2 was their last acupuncture session.

Further proof acupuncture is very relaxing 😊

🍃Acupuncture isn't just for pain relief 🍃

Many people I talk to do not realise that acupuncture can support with many overall health issues.

Acupuncture can support overall health by improving sleep, reducing stress, boosting immunity and enhancing digestion.

So far this week the people I have seen in clinic have a range of health conditions such as:
💠 Parkinson's disease
💠 Back pain
💠 Arthritis of the knee
💠 Fibromyalgia
💠 Anxiety
💠 Vulvodynia
💠 Gout
and also patients who want help with smoking cessation and appetite control.

Acupuncture offers a natural way to restore balance in the body whether you have chronic pain or just want to feel better.

Ready to experience the benefits?

🍃Acupuncture isn’t just about needles🍃

The aim is to move qi and restore balance in the body.

Today I treated a needle phobic patient with severe back pain using Ear magnets, Moxibustion (the herb you can see burning) a lovely tui-na massage and some cupping.
