“The art of being well”

In today’s fast paced world, we are always on the go, feeling challenged, stressed, tired, frustrated. If we don’t learn to listen to our bodies, physical and emotional health can suffer and symptoms may appear. In my clinics, I aim to help you take time out, to listen and allow you space to replenish, nourish and heal. Health concerns I have supported:
• Assisted and unassisted fertility
• Pregnancy related: nausea, heartburn, backpain
• Neck pain, shoulder or back pain
• Headaches and migraine
• Stress, depression and anxiety
• Shiatsu Birth Preparation Workshop for couples

I can assist you to better health using a unique combination of Acupuncture, Shiatsu or Massage to suit your individual needs. Through working with women who experience unexplained fertility, I have noticed the emotional impact a difficult fertility journey can have. I offer a 12 week dynamic emotional healing and transformational programme to help you reconnect with your joy and live life fully again. My friendly, professional healthcare service is at Balance Natural Health Clinic in Chapel Allerton in North Leeds, West Yorkshire and also at Amanda Crawshaw Acupuncture Clinic, Keighley, West Yorkshire. Both clinics are comfortable, calm and supportive, and are within easy reach by car or public transport. I am a registered member of the British Acupuncture Council and have been in practice since 2001.

I've been so busy promoting our gorgeous new clinic and our amazing practitioners, I forgot to tell you about what I offer!

I have recently relocated our clinic from Keighley to Silsden, West Yorkshire. I work there all day on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursday mornings. I also still have a satellite clinic on Thursday afternoons.

So, I offer acupuncture and whilst I have treated most health conditions, I'm moving towards specialising in women's health.

For the past 10 years, I've worked with women through their fertility and pregnancy journeys, supporting them with acupuncture, shiatsu and coaching.

However, I'm now also focusing on working with menstrual cycle health and awareness, perimenopause and menopause.

This can include:
Irregular periods, PCOS, Amenorrhea (abense of periods), Menorrhagia (Heavy periods), Dysmenorrhea (Painful periods), Hormone regulation

Symptoms of Peri and Menopause such as:
Night sweats, Brain Fog, Joint ache, Anxiety, Mood Swings, Nervousness, Irritability, Low Mood, Sleep Problems, Low Energy

Acupuncture can offer a well rounded, holistic approach to treating the above problems. As well as the treatment itself, I offer lifestyle and basic nutriton advice when it's appropriate.

It also doesn't matter if you're on HRT, or not, acupuncture can support you with whichever approach you take.

If you would like to know more, or book an appointment with me, I'm now taking appointments for January. You can contact me on: 07927 042200, or email me at: info@amandacrawshaw.co.uk

Thank you, Amanda 💚

What medicine do you need to help you relax, release, slow down and just 'be'?

The past few months have been amazing with moving my clinic and some other personal creative projects that have been going on. But it's also been incredibly full on. My clinic was full, but my energy was low, with too many projects and general life stuff to juggle.

We tend to feel the pressure even more during menopause. We just don't have the same energy to execute multiple tasks in the same way as we did ten years ago.

Sometimes, we just need to step out of our lives for a while and recharge. If we can slow down and create the space, it is one of the most loving things we can do for ourselves. Whatever that looks like and for how long is unique to you.

In the few days I've been away, I've given myself the two types of medicine which I know nourishes my soul; being by the sea and being by an open fire. Oh, and being in quiet spaces. Everything else has been a grateful bonus.

My senses have reawakened.

Seeing the elegance and italian grandeur of Portmeirion. Seeing all the autumnal colours in all their glory and the beautiful ancient trees of the welsh woodland.

Mesmirised by the sound of the rhythm of the waves as they crash onto the shore. Hearing the rain pattering onto fallen golden oak leaves.

The wind brings the aroma of sea kelp air to my nostrils whilst walking on the beach. And during the evening, I smell the scorched burn of logs in my fire.

Tasting the sea salt from my morning swim. Delighting my taste buds with delectable home made seafood ravioli.

Feeling the waves push my body in an onshore wind. To touch the sand as it supports me when I sit on the dunes.

I'm so profundly thankful I have had this time away. Now I'm ready to come home and feel ready to be back in clinic.

See you soon x

The veil is thinning
Throughout October's decay
With the essence of Autumn
Old souls tread the way.

Our spirit remains open,
To give and receive,
Sweet memories of the past,
Our hearts cannot leave.

So, as we welcome Samhain,
Ancient souls of the past,
Gather around us closely,
In shadows that are cast.

Whispers of old tales,
Flow softly through the air,
In the chill of falling leaves,
A timeless, ethereal layer.

With the moons glow to guide,
As our ancestors unite,
In this sacred time for Spirit
We honour the magic of the night..

What will you be doing to acknowledge Samhaim?
Here's a simple ritual to honour your departed loved ones:
🕯 Create a small altar or focal point with a photo of your lived one and personal items
🕯 Light a candle to create space for rememberance
🕯 Ground yourself with your breath, stand on the earth.
🕯 Call in the four directions to bring balance and to cetre yourself
🕯 Burn sage to neutralise the energy of your space
🕯 Release the past - write down what no longer serves you and burn it in the candle
🕯 Connect with your ancestors, speak their names and thank them for the paths they walked and their part in bringing you to this moment

So, as I'm doom scrolling my way through norovirus these past couple of days, I found this little gem. 💎

and created this fantastic, simple e-learning platform about women's hormones. This beautifully illustrated, interactive, easy to use platform explains the influence and impact of hormones in four main areas of a girl and woman's life:
👉 Puberty
👉 Menstrual Cycle Awareness
👉 Post Partum
👉 Menopause

I completed all four sections in about an hour and each section has extra playbooks you can work through if you choose to.

This is such valuable golden nuggets of information in bite sized chunks. I heartily recommend that your partners go through the sessions too, in support of learning about your hormonal health to help understand you better.

🍂 are the only UK based charity funding all of women's reproductive and gynaecological health. As well as the above training modules, they also offer a free period symptom checker - invaluable for learning if you don't consider your periods normal and want to raise your concerns to your GP.

If you want to access this free training, you can find a link to their website in my bio. My understanding that they have created this in order to raise awareness and knowledge to women and their loved ones.

So please, like and share this post if you find it useful.

Thank you, Amanda 🙏💚

Baby Massage Course in our clinic ✨️👩‍🍼

Starting 1st November, my colleague Caterina Matteoda from .uk will be offering a 1.5 hour lesson every Saturday throughout November in Silsden, West Yorkshire to teach parents how to give their babies the healing, gentle touch of shiatsu acupressure massage. The course will be 6 hours long in total and is hands on and fun to learn.

This course is different to traditional baby massage courses in that you'll learn some basic theory of traditional chinese medicine as a toolkit, rather than just a massage routine. This will be helpful, as you'll then be able to apply your knowledge to safely treat common ailments that may come up with your baby.

Places are limited, so book now! Please feel free to like and share. 💚

You can book directly through Caterina by WhatsApping her on: 07384 108411

Here's a little gift to you from me to celebrate World Menopause Day, to explain the images on my reel. 👇

✨️ International Menopause Society
have publised a white paper and factsheets on this year's menopause theme: The Role Of Lifestyle In Menopausal Health

✨️ Steve Bartlett from The Diary Of A CEO
has produced an absolutely fantastic interview with four of the world's leading female hormone and fertility experts. This interview is honest, vital information on ALL aspects of women's menstrual, reproductive and menopausal health and (in my opinion), should be watched by ALL women (and their male partners) at ANY time in their lifestage. It's a time commitment (3.5hrs), but so worth it to fully understand your hormonal, menstrual cycling and reproductive health.

I will also share his post from his IG on my storoes for easy access.

You can find links to both items in my linktree in my profile on IG (). Enjoy. X

...aannnddd, it's done! ✨️✨️✨️

We've moved clinic!!!

But before I show you the end result, I wanted to show you the journey and the work that has gone into our beautiful new space in such a short space of time.

I only got the keys from at the beginning of September, so we've managed to turn it all around in a staggering one month!!

I won't lie, I'm absolutely bloody exhausted, and equally unbelievably delighted with the end result.
I can't wait for you to see our gorgeous new clinic! 🥰

Ah, I hear you say! So, where are the photos of what the clinic looks like today?

Well, you'll have to wait to see those tomorrow!! 😉

Wish me luck and see you on the other side! 🤞✨️✨️

✨️ Life has been pretty hectic this week. So I was especially grateful to take a window of time out last night to mark the autumn equinox, or mabon as it is also known.

This is a festival of harvest time, the full acknowledgement of the end of summer and the letting go of the light a time, ready to embrace the shorter, darker days of oncoming winter.

Now, there is a balance when the sun is directly above the equator, illuminating both hemispheres equally. We are invited at this time to take stock and reflect on our experiences and what we have so far learned over this year.

Thank you to and .shackleton.31 for holding such a lovely space with cacao, wisdom and gorgeous sounds.
