🌼 What a day yesterday 🌼

The perfect mix of wellbeing and fun; Forest bathing and wine tasting

Glorious weather 😎

Fabulous location 🌳

Amazing company 

Calm, nurturing forest bathing guidance

Wonderful scent of bluebells and wild garlic to really engage all the senses 🪻

Luxurious wines 🍷

Engaging hosts, with stories of the blood, sweat, and tears that go into the wine

All this only a 30 min train ride from Oxted. I even bumped into Thomas the Tank Engine at the station 🚂 😂

Favourite fact from the day: 
The same wine can taste different on different occasions, depending on the weather, the location, the food, etc. So that's why you don't always agree with the wine buffs 😉

The white was my favourite - so much flavour from such a pale wine. 

I'm looking forward to trying the Rose with a Thai curry (who knew they would go well together?!?)

Everything in acupuncture is about balance. I think this day nailed it!

Now, back to the day job 💻

If you'd like to ask me about acupuncture, wine or forest bathing, drop me a message.

🏵️ World Acupuncture Day 🏵️

I could not let World Acupuncture Day go by without a quick post about the amazing medicine I am lucky enough to practice every day.

I’m so grateful that I have been doing the job that I love so much for 20 years this month! Clients share their lives with me, and I walk alongside, working in partnership, to help tweak the balance so that they can get the best out of their lives. Seeing my clients flourish instead of struggling through each day is a delight.

What have I learnt in 20 years?

🏵️ Needle sensation has a life of it’s own. Every time I think I have control of it, or an explanation of it, the next needle will prove otherwise. Needle sensation and insertion pain are two different things.

🏵️ It’s hard to find the right words to explain a good pulse change, but it’s easy to feel. I can still be shocked by a text book needle change after a few “in / out needles”. I find it amazing that 4 tiny needles, and a minute of time, can do so much.

🏵️ Everyone wants to know “how” acupuncture works. We know lots of things about what acupuncture does in the body, such as regulate hormones, improve blood flow, reduce inflammation and modulate the way pain is experienced in the brain. That doesn’t mean I can tell you exactly what’s happening when I put a needle in any specific point. I do know that if I treat according to the Traditional Chinese Medicine theories, it works.

🏵️ Wood CFs HAVE to move outdoors regularly and be able to see green spaces outside their windows, otherwise their world is off.

🏵️ Listening to how people are saying things, or what emotion is driving the words, is much more important that the content of what they say. (Sorry, I am listening carefully, I promise)

It’s a cliché, but I still have so much to learn!

I'm taking bookings for new patients in January. If you would like to dip into my 20 years of knowledge, please comment below to get your name on the waiting list.

If you are new to acupuncture, it can feel a bit scary or daunting to book in for your first appointment. I take plenty of time to help you understand what to expect from treatment. I want you to feel at ease and enjoy your sessions. 

Honestly, you'll arrive worrying about the needles and leave feeling so relaxed you'll hardly remember any needles were involved! Check out my latest reviews from clients who were both new to acupuncture but were brave enough to give it a try.

What's stopping you from booking in to try it for yourself?

I have two questions for you:

☀️Do you suffer from anxiety?

☀️What is anxiety?

That might sound like a stupid question, but bear with me. This conversation came up in clinic this week, and I go through it with clients time and time again. If you suffer from anxiety, you will think everyone knows what it is because they will feel like you. We all think anxiety means the same thing, but it doesn't. It shows up differently in each unique individual.

Here are a few questions I might ask you as part of your consultation, if you tell me you struggle with anxiety:

Where in your body do you have the anxious feelings?

What are the thoughts in your head that accompany your anxiety?

What effects/symptoms do you experience in your body systems?

I’ve shown on the slides how people might respond to these questions depending on which of the five elements is most out of balance for them. You might have a mix of aspects from all elements, but one will probably stand out the most.

If you want to know more, check out my blog!

🌳 Comment below with your favourite alternative word for anxiety, and I’ll have a stab (see what I did there) at telling you which element I think resonates most clearly with that emotion / feeling.

P.S. Practitioners, do you ask your patients these types of questions? If not, give it a go and let me know how you get on.

This has made my heart sing today, so I had to share!

There is nothing better than the lift in a client who has come in with the weight of the world on their shoulders, cries a bucket of tears in our chat, then leaves with a smile on their face.

🌼 My favourite treatment 🌼

I qualified as an acupuncturist nearly 20 years ago. In that time I’ve experienced many transformational treatments with patients, but one of my favourites is “Clearing Internal Dragons”.

If you read the textbooks about this treatment, it might sound a bit “woo woo”. You’ll see mention of spirits and possession. But the way I see this diagnosis present in clinic is all too familiar and doesn’t require a Hollywood movie style exorcism.

Usually, the person will be vulnerable because they will be struggling with poor physical, mental, or emotional health. This could be for any reason, big or small. A significant event sticks in the persons mind, one of those “before and after” situations.

It could be: 

🐲 a physical attack

🐲 taking recreational drugs

🐲 shocking news

🐲 a car crash

But it could also be triggered by something seemingly less significant:

🐲 teenage anxieties that have spun out of context

🐲 over thinking about daily struggles that just won’t pass

🐲 health anxieties that can not be calmed

The repercussions of the “event” lead to obsessive thoughts which go round and round, and you just can’t seem to get them under control no matter how many people you discuss it with, or how much time you “work on it”. The amount of time you spend thinking about it will be disproportionate to the significance of whatever happened in the first place.

Maybe it’s time to try something new and see if this treatment could help “conquer your inner demons”? The treatment is gentle, only 7 needles, but the effects can be transformational. There are many treatments for anxiety, but this is one of my favourites because I see such consistent results from it in clinic. It calms the mind and supports the Earth element, which has a lot of influence over how we manage our worries.

If you're battling with obsessive thoughts and anxiety, this beautifully simple Five Element Acupuncture treatment might just be your gate to conquering your demons. I’m an expert in treating stress and anxiety with TCM and Five Element Acupuncture. If you are ready to say goodbye to mind clutter and hello to inner peace, follow the link to book.

🌼 It's always a good day when you wake up to a new 5 star review. 🌼

I'm so grateful to my patients who are able to share what acupuncture means to them. I obviously love it, but I'm biased!

Would you like to be the next patient to find out how acupuncture treatment with me can improve your physical health and emotional well-being? Maybe you're struggling with perimenopause, exam stressed teens, poor sleep, pain, headaches.....I could go on!

🏵️How can I spot the Five elements in my exam stressed teen?🏵️

❤️After one or two rounds of mocks, you are probably wondering what you can do to help your teen get through the summer exams with their sanity and health intact.

🧡 If you can recognise their significant patterns of behaviour, you can start to work out what might be most beneficial to help them thrive and do their best in exam season.

💛 I put on my “Five Element lenses” (like rose-tinted spectacles, get it?!?) for this analysis 😎

💚 Read the carousel to see if you spot any tell-tale signs that show which element might be the most out of balance for your teen.

💙 Simple, effective acupuncture points to support this element can have remarkable effects to help them feel calm and cope better.  

💜 With or without needles we can use acupuncture treatment to calm the nervous system, settle anxious feelings, and provide a bit of space to breath and think more clearly, which will lower the stress response and make revision more effective.

I am an expert in treating stress and anxiety and started having acupuncture myself as a teenager. I know the transformative effect it can have and want to help the struggling teens out there to thrive rather than survive.

Using TCM and Five Element acupuncture, we will work together to balance the hormones and the emotions. With carefully chosen lifestyle advice, teens can learn to understand and manage their emotional responses to the world so they can feel in control, empowered, and grounded. Who wouldn’t love to feel like that? These valuable life lessons can be carried way beyond the exams!

🏵️How can I help my teen with exam stress?🏵️

If you live in the UK and have a child in Year 11 you will have been through 1 or 2 rounds of mock exams by now.

If you would like to help your teen to make changes so they cope better with the final exams in the summer here are my top tips:

❤️ Listen to the podcast

This a great (award winning) podcast covering all aspect of parenting teens. I’d recommend you start with these episodes:

Episode 53 - Anxiety: How to help your teen

Episode 39 -  Exam revision

🧡 Get your teen to take a learning styles quiz

Knowing how to learn is half the battle. There will be loads of quizzes online.

Maybe your teen has been writing flash cards, but as a auditory learner they really need to be talking out loud, to themselves or others.

💛 Pay attention to sleep and nutrition

Focus on good quality protein with every meal and eating a rainbow of fruit and veg. Make it look interesting so they eat well. It’s even better if they help with the cooking! Our favourite is Chicken Fajita traybake.

Teens and sleep can go either way – too much or too little, just encourage healthy and regular sleep habits. No phones in the bedroom at night!

💚 Encourage them to exercise, get outside and have fun breaks

What do they enjoy? It’s important to have distinction between down time and work time so they recognise it’s not just school, revision, sleep, repeat. Down time is essential to allow some creativity to flow and their brains to relax.

💙 If conversations have become fraught, take a break

It doesn’t matter who’s right or what the disagreement is about. Once you start shouting or not listening (either way) the point is redundant. Take a break and try again later.

💜 Book them a happy hour of acupuncture

With or without needles we can use acupuncture treatment to calm the nervous system, settle anxious feelings, and provide a bit of space to breath and think more clearly, which will lower the stress response and make revision more effective.

🏵️Teen Tuesdays🏵️

As we come to the end of Childrens Mental Health week, I would like to tell you about the new sessions I have put together specifically with teens and their parents in mind. Teens don’t need long or complicated discussions or treatments. So, I’m going to be offering shorter appointments for teens. These are more cost-effective and more enjoyable for their age group. You attend the first appointment together if the teen is under 16 years old.

Needles aren’t essential. I have a lot of other options in my toolkit, including:

❤️ Ear seed

🧡 Magnets

💛 Stick on needles (Ok, they are still needles, but tiny!)

💚 Acupressure

💙 Moxa balm

However, in my experience, even needle phobic patients are comfortable with needles after the first few sessions. I always say that before acupuncture it’s the only thing you think about, and after acupuncture you almost forget they are involved!

I am an expert in treating stress and anxiety and started having acupuncture myself as a teenager. I know the transformative effect it can have and want to help the struggling teens out there to thrive rather than survive.

I’ve reserved the after school slots in my diary on Tuesdays specifically for these sessions, but they are bookable at other times. They would be great for a 6th former with a free period around lunch or break. The clinic is only a 20 minute walk from Oxted School.

Maybe you are, or you know, a teen who is struggling with one of these issues:

Regulating the menstrual cycle, dealing with painful or heavy periods, PMT

Stress – exam, workload

Anxiety – social, generalised anxiety disorder, fears

Friendship issues and confidence, finding a sense of self

Headaches and migraines – these often present for the first time in teens and are easier to fix the earlier they are treated.

Using TCM and Five Element acupuncture we will work together to balance the hormones and the emotions. With carefully chosen lifestyle advice teens can learn to understand and manage their emotional responses to the world so they can feel in control, empowered and grounded.

After 14 years in Lingfield, I have decided to focus on my Oxted clinic location going forwards. I thought now was a good time to let you know what to expect if you visit me at Limpsfield Fitness.

🏵️The clinic is in Limpsfield village opposite the Church.

🏵️I will be in clinic 3 days per week – Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

🏵️Usual working hours are 9 am – 5 pm (4.30pm Thurs).

The clinic is easy to find. There are plenty of free parking spaces, and we’re hidden away in a quiet spot surrounded by fields. Limpsfield High Street hosts a great coffee shop , and lots of beautiful walks start from the doorstep. If you want a recommendation for your next visit, please let me know.

By focusing my full attention on one clinic, everyone can receive the same level of service and comfort. I hope you will give the Oxted clinic a try soon if you haven't visited yet. The room is cosy, especially with the heated blanket on the couch and lots of towels to keep you toasty, we’ve got calming music, relaxing scents coming from my diffuser and some beautiful succulent plants which I’m proud to have kept alive for more than a year. I may have a caring profession, but I am not blessed with green fingers!

The other therapists and personal trainers at Limpsfield Fitness are a friendly bunch, so if you fancy a session in the gym, let me know, and I’ll put you in touch.

🏵️If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to try acupuncture, get in touch!

🏵️Are you curious about whether acupuncture could be the treatment you’ve been looking for?

🏵️Are you ready to regain balance and take back control of your health and emotional well-being?

I’ve got a couple of slots in my diary next week for free 20 minute consultations with new clients. There’s no obligation. I give you 20 minutes of my undivided attention. You bring your concerns about any health issues you are experiencing and your questions about acupuncture. I love chatting about acupuncture and offering hope for a healthier and happier future.
