Honoured to be running for Maggie’s this weekend, it’ll be a slow one with the pain but I’m doing it!

After running the Great North Run before her cancer diagnosis, Claire was determined to run it again and fundraise for Maggie's.

📍 Did you know periods shouldn’t be painful? 🩸

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), your menstrual cycle is considered a vital sign of your overall health.

✨ Painful periods, heavy bleeds, mood swings, acne, irregular timing; these are all signs your body is out of balance.

The good news? Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can help support smoother, more comfortable cycles.

If your period is causing you problems, you don’t have to just put up with it.

Let’s work together to get things back in sync. 💚

Long Covid recovery 💚
I’m so grateful for this lovely review from a patient I’ve been supporting through Long Covid symptoms over the past six months.
Acupuncture can be a gentle but powerful way to support fatigue, muscle and joint pain, brain fog, and overall wellbeing, especially when other options feel limited.
If you're struggling with Long Covid and looking for support, feel free to get in touch or book an appointment.
