Emma Cormack Acupuncture - Five Element Acupuncture

Tiny needles, big results.

Did you know there are many acupuncture points on the face AND they can be used to support skin health?

Facial Enhancement Acupuncture is more than just a beauty treatment — it’s a holistic approach to skin health that supports your body from the inside out.

Here’s what it can do for you:
• Boost natural collagen + elastin production
• Improve skin tone and texture
• Soften fine lines + reduce puffiness
• Increase circulation for a fresh, healthy glow
• Support stress relief + hormonal balance

This isn’t a quick fix — it’s a gentle, natural way to support your skin’s long-term vitality and boost your energy.

Curious to try it? I’d love to answer your questions. Drop them below or send me a message!

Moxa or Moxibustion…it’s probably the part of a Five Element treatment that my patients ask about the most!

What is it?
The act of moxibustion is a healing technique with its roots in Chinese medicine. It involves the burning of a herb called mugwort (nothing to do with Harry Potter!) on specific acupuncture points to stimulate circulation, boost energy, and support the body’s natural healing.

It’s often used to:
• Warm the energy channels
• To ease pain or stimulate blood flow/ support natural cycles
• Turn breech babies (yes—really!)
• Support digestive health
• Strengthen immunity & build energy

The heat penetrates deeply, encouraging balance and flow where things feel stuck.

So there you go! A bit of moxa background. Oh and it’s smells amazing! 😊

Most of the patients I see in my clinic are women. This is partly out of my choice to primarily work to support women’s health, but also because when it comes to assisted reproduction it is often the women who have to take on the burden of appointments, medication and adapt their lives in order to commit to the process.
I have had the pleasure of playing a small role in many of these women’s journeys and am always humbled by their courage, determination and fierceness. Humbled but never surprised, because it’s no shock to me that we as women possess these qualities in abundance.
I hope I can continue to work with women for years to come and have the privilege of listening to their stories.

Clare Simmonds, Holistic Therapist at LEAF Health Hitchin

Reflexology’s increasing popularity as a complementary therapy is due to its remarkable success in maintaining good health as well as relieving a wide range of physical and emotional complaints.

“I had Reflexology from Clare and was blown away by how amazing the treatment was. Clare was really friendly and extremely knowledgeable. She made me feel completely at ease and the pressure was perfect for me. I’m a Reflexologist myself and am extremely picky about who I choose to treat me. I would definitely recommend Clare to anyone and am looking forward to seeing her again. Thank you Claire”.
