All About Acupuncture ⭐️

Acupuncture is an ancient form of Chinese medicine. It involves placing very fine sterile needles on specific points to relive pain, overcome dis-ease and bring the body into a balanced state.

Studies that date back 3000 years are based on the philosophy that Qi ‘vital energy’ flows through meridians just under the skin that transports energy throughout the body.

Qi can stagnate and become stuck, by working and stimulating points along the meridians balance can be restored.

Acupuncture can be effective for 💫
- Chronic pain
- Chronic migraines & headaches
- Anxiety & depression
- Fatigue & Insomnia
- Hormonal imbalances/menopause/PMT
- Infertility
- Digestive complaints including IBS

For anymore information or to book a consultation please get in touch ⭐️

Tuning fork 💫 sound therapy

I couldn’t help but notice in the latest season of ‘Tidying Up’ with Marie Kondo she uses crystals and tuning forks to cleanse & reset the space she lives and works in.

Sound therapy had been used for thousands of years to help release tension, move stagnant energy and promote emotional balance. Attuning the nervous system through point stimulation can be very grounding and a great addition to other complementary therapies such as reflexology & reiki.

Other benefits include 💫
-Tunes natural cycles of the body
-Aids digestion
-Natural anti-inflammatory
-Great for sound sleep
-Relaxes muscle tension
-Helps with stress and anxiety
-Increases bone density and promotes healing of strained muscle.

I use sound bowls and tuning forks when I’m drawn to usually at the beginning of a session to help centre my clients before a treatment✨

Please ask if you would like some sound therapy included in your next session 🙌

Warm Bamboo Massage ✨ It won’t be long until I’m offering this wonderful treatment. Perfect for those clients who prefer a deep tissue massage.

Chinese, Indonesian, and Japanese cultures have long believed in the benefits withheld in bamboo, such as energy, longevity, and fertility.
In China, bamboo stalks still symbolise eternal youth, prosperity, strength and peace.

Bamboo massage is a technique that incorporates heated bamboo sticks of varying lengths and diameters to provide deep tissue work and to stretch and elongate the muscle fascia.

There are two main Bamboo massage techniques in practice today. The first technique was developed by French national Nathalie Cecilia who introduced warm bamboo massage to assist her with deep tissue work, she noticed that her pain subsided and her clients loved it.

Another technique, the Tian Di bamboo massage which means Heaven and Earth, was developed by massage therapist Ernesto Ortiz. He incorporated the principles from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) into massage. The massage uses bamboo cut to varying lengths and the bamboo sticks or Cho sticks as they are called in this technique are used as an extension of the therapists’ hands, allowing them to work deeper.

Acupuncture ✨ This weekend I have finally begun to study Clinical Acupuncture based on the teachings of traditional Chinese Medicine.

I’ve always had a fascination with ancient methods of healing especially TCM it has effectively prevented, diagnosed and treated imbalances and diseases for over 3000 years.

Great offering from the Ministry of yoga!🧘‍♀️

This Saturday (16th January) join Shelley for a 90 minute FREE Beginners Yoga Workshop.

Right now we are conscious people need as much help as possible to stay healthy - physically, mentally and emotionally. Many people have expressed wanting to start yoga as they have heard it ticks all the health and wellbeing boxes, but don't know where to start or what classes.

At MoY we have a range of classes and courses to support beginners, for example:

Yoga from Scratch - Tuesday 6pm
Beginners Level 1 and Level 2 courses.

But sometimes, spending money (which at the moment is precious for many people right now) on something we are not sure for is for us, is a difficult decision to make. So we have taken that hurdle out of the way, so you can try out our beginners yoga, at no cost.

This FREE workshop will cover the first two sessions of Yoga from Scratch this year, which means after the workshop you will be confident to join the weekly class, knowing you have covered the fundamentals. Yoga is about feeling and experiencing. There is no judgement or competition, we practise at the level that is right for us each day.

All you have to do is create an account on our booking system (https://ministryofyoga.punchpass.com/) if you haven't already, and find the class on the schedule. Click reserve to get your spot!

Here is a direct link to the class to book:

https://ministryofyoga.punchpass.com/classes/7503179

Hope to see lots of faces joining live on Zoom, but if you aren't available at that time you will also receive a recording of the workshop after it has finished, which will be available for a week.

Did you watch this last night?
Research has shown massage officially boosts your immune system! Of course I’ve known this all along as do my clients who come for regular treatments.

Hope 💫 What a start to the New Year!
It’s hard to know what to say at the moment our lives are constantly changing from one minute to the next.

I have been in touch with all my clients that have appointments in the diary, I hope it won’t be too long until I can offer treatments again.

Hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel this time and by the spring this will look a whole lot better.

In the meantime do look after yourselves! Along with home schooling, keeping your business and jobs going, looking after elderly relatives and supporting those close by make time for you.❤️

Fire Cupping 🔥 I’ve offered this treatment for years, It’s more popular than ever right now. With a lot of my clients working from home and suffering with back neck and shoulder pain along with stress and anxiety being heightened.

I’m alway intrigued to see the marks the cups leave behind sometimes they can be dark purple almost black taking days and occasionally weeks to fade and other times they can leave a faint pink circle that fades away within hours of the treatment.
Our bodies remember so much both physical and emotional pain it’s not surprising clients report a release both on the body and mind after the session.

Cupping therapy uses warmed jars over oiled skin as a therapeutic massage.
The vacuum formed by the jars moves non-circulating stagnant blood, toxins and sticky fluids from deeper parts of the body bringing them up to the surface restoring free healthy flow to the whole body including the affected area creating space for oxygen the renewal of living cells, blood and nutrients to aid recovery.

This therapy has been known to help a wide range of problems from pain, muscle spasms to cellulite, colds and flu, tiredness fatigue, arthritis, fibromyalgia, stress, anxiety and depression.

If you’d like to know more about this treatment please ask or take a look on my website. ❤️
