🌟 Your local acupuncturists are fundraising for World Medicine 🌟

Here's a video of Emma talking about our latest fundraising mission for Uganda.

In April 2026, World Medicine will begin a new clinic based in the Mother Mercy Hospital in Kyengera, on the outskirts of Kampala, Uganda. To raise money for this we are 'virtually' walking from World Medicine HQ in London to the hospital, a distance of over 6000 miles! I'm counting every hobble on my crutches just now 😉

We need walkers (cycling is acceptable too) and doners, please support us if you can by following the link below:

🌿 Clinic Update 🌿

I have a connective tissue condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which makes my bones more prone to injury. Recently, I experienced a traumatic ankle break, and I’ll be closing my practice until October while I focus on recovery.

This experience has been a powerful reminder of something I often share with my patients: Healing is not linear. It's a journey of balance, patience, and deep self-awareness, not a quick fix. While this isn’t the kind of “pause” I anticipated, it’s offering me space to practice what I preach.

Thankfully, I'm supported by an incredible community of healthcare professionals, and I’ll be leaning into acupuncture and rehab as soon as my cast is off. I’ve also got plenty of Evil Bone Water stocked in clinic to support my bone and tissue repair.

I’m looking forward to returning to practice in October, with a deeper appreciation for the medicine I offer. You can still book online to secure an appointment at my gorgeous new clinic in Kilmichael which I’ll show you soon. Until then, thank you for your patience, support, and understanding. 🙏❤

✨ Red Dates: A Superfruit in Chinese Medicine ✨

Red dates have been used for centuries to nourish the body and calm the mind. I enjoy them brewed in a tea with goji berries, or adding them to my porridge. Why do I love red dates so much?

🌿 Great for fatigue and postpartum recovery
🌿 Promotes gut health
🌿 Calms the spirit to improve sleep
🌿 Rich in antioxidants and boost immunity

You can buy these in Chinese supermarkets around Glasgow or online.

Get in touch if you want recommendations on where to get them, or book in for some acupuncture and a sample of red dates. Yum!

✨ A modern twist on ancient medicine ✨

Some of you have received electroacupuncture in my clinic to heal injuries, relieve pain, and support nerve regeneration. I often use this technique to treat an overactive bladder by stimulating the tibial nerve.

Electroacupuncture is where tiny electrical currents are applied to acupuncture needles and enhance the effects of treatment. My patients have described the sensation as "a mouse nose snuffling your skin" and "a wee buzz".

It's a modern technique but stays rooted in the principle of balancing Qi and restoring the body's natural flow.

If you have an injury and want to speed up the healing process, I can help!

✨ Support Your Heart ❤️

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, your heart is more than just a pump, it’s the "Emperor" of the body and needs looked after both physically and energetically. The emperor guides your circulation, emotions, mental clarity, and spirit.

Acupuncture can support your heart health by improving circulation, nourishing your Heart Qi & Blood, and balancing blood pressure, all backed by clinical evidence.

Eating red and purple fruits and vegetables can reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease as they are packed with antioxidants and anthocyanins.

Practicing meditation and Qi Gong can also help calm your mind and lower your blood pressure.

☯ A healthy heart has strong blood flow and emotional balance ☯

✨ Restore Balance from the Inside Out ✨

If you're feeling tired, stressed, or out of sync, acupuncture can help rebalance your energy and restore harmony to your body naturally.

Your acupuncture sessions with me will always go beyond the needles, as each appointment includes personalized Chinese nutritional guidance where necessary to support your healing from within.

I can provide:

🌿Seasonal food tips based on Chinese medicine
🌿Recipes and food lists based on your needs
🌿Samples of food and teas I recommend

Many of my patients leave the clinic with red dates and goji berries. 🍒

Book your session to discover how small changes in your diet can amplify the effects of acupuncture and help you feel your best.

I've been busy with Traditional Chinese Facials this week! I love this treatment to help you relax and decompress.

The treatment includes:

🌿 A gentle organic facial cleanse
🌿 Relaxing facial acupuncture
🌿 LED red light therapy
🌿 An acupressure facial massage
🌿 Gua sha and facial cupping
🌿 Organic facial serums

I often get asked "does facial acupuncture hurt?" and the short answer is no. The needles I use are the thinnest you can get. Every person's sensitivity is different, but I will always make sure you are comfortable and enjoy the experience.

You'll leave floating on a zen cloud ☁️ 🥰

I'm open today but the MACPool is closed. If you have an appointment with me, don't worry if you see the closed sign on the door! I will unlock the door and let you in 😊

✨ New Cochrane Review Confirms Acupuncture Helps with Chronic Low Back Pain!

A newly published Cochrane review of reviews has examined non-drug and non-surgical treatments for low back pain. The results? Acupuncture effectively reduces pain and improves function for those with chronic low back pain! 🎯

🔸 Acupuncture is already integrated into mainstream healthcare in several countries:
✅ Statutory regulated in Australia, New Zealand, and Portugal
✅ Covered by healthcare insurance in Germany and New Zealand
✅ Recommended in clinical guidelines when seeking out a PSA registered practitioner (BAcC)

However the study highlights that many clinical trials underestimate the real benefits of acupuncture because they don’t reflect the personalised treatments given by traditional acupuncturists.

⚡ Traditional acupuncture:
✔️ Is a safe intervention when provided by trained professionals
✔️ Can be a long-term solution for pain management

🔍 Looking for a trusted acupuncturist? The British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) ensures the highest standards of training, safety, and professional conduct. Find a qualified practitioner near you today!
