I became an acupuncturist after experiencing treatment first hand. I’ve had an array of health ups and downs, one being chronic fatigue.

A few months ago I had another relapse and it flared up again. I wrote this at the time and am sharing it now in the hope it builds awareness to others also struggling with it.

The treatments I got at the time quite literally helped me get out of bed, do the basic tasks and the thought of walking to the end of the street didn’t feel impossible.

I am now back to normal, yesterday having done a (very small) run, yoga and lots of walking- something I never take for granted.

I’m always so grateful I found Five-Element Acupuncture and just want more people to find it too!

✨ What is pulse taking? ✨

The amount of people I’ve spoken to recently about acupuncture who have responded with
“I didn’t know acupuncture could help with that”, followed by “when I think of acupuncture I think of a sore shoulder or back pain”. And that’s it. Not hip pain or bad knees- just neck, shoulder and back.

It’s fascinating to me how we have been educated in this way and how acupuncture has been around for thousands of years, yet it remains an “alternative” healthcare option.

It’s time we change that!

Anyone else think the same? Let me know below 🤍

And off we go! ✈️😎🏝️

It’s been a great few months in clinic. I’ve loved getting to know my clients more and I’ve learnt so much. Being able to provide acupuncture treatment to help others feel better is a privilege I don’t take for granted.

Whilst I’m obviously looking forward to some time off, I equally can’t wait to come back to my lovely patients soon!

Appointments next available from 17th June. Get in touch to book in should you feel so called 💕

P.s As not to paint a rosy false picture on Instagram.. for other practitioners out there- this journey really has taken a lot of time and patience. For many weeks in the last two years I would have as little as one patient, and a year ago, sometimes none at all. I’m still working on building up to being full-time, and as I finish before this holiday I’m reflecting on how far I’ve come and that I am joyful with where I am at. So in case anyone resonates with the struggle of building a practice, just a wee note to keep going and keep the faith (something I will most likely need to remind myself of down line too)!

Out and about training my sense of smell last weekend at the beautiful 🌿🌺✨

This might sound strange to some, but as a Five-Element Acupuncturist we use our senses when diagnosing our patients.

This allows us not to follow symptoms but instead leads us to the root of the imbalance within an individual.

When an element and its officials (organs) are out of balance, an odour is emitted. Each element emits a different odour. One example of this is The Fire Element- its odour is scorched (...not too much of a stretch to understand that one!).

Ever been with a partner, family member or friend and notice they have their unique distinct smell?

Detecting an odour is just one of the four sensory diagnostic tools we use in clinic.

It is a life-long practice to perfect this skill to be able to identify the different odours accurately so... long may the practicing continue!

✨Friday FAQ✨

How many treatments will I need?

So often nowadays people are wanting results quickly. Whilst this can happen in Five-Element Acupuncture, it can also be a more gradual, subtle process. Everyone’s experience is totally different.

When I first went for treatment, I didn’t notice too much early on. The one thing I noticed was that my bowel movements were regular for the first time…this was an encouraging sign. Then one day, I think around treatment five or six, I remember realising “huh, I don’t feel like that anymore”. Over time with treatment I noticed things were changing more and more. I stopped having panic attacks and the myriad of symptoms that accompanied these, I became more resilient to stress/ more able to cope, that heavy fog had cleared and my life was no longer grey.

So often when speaking to people who say they tried acupuncture and it didn’t work, the first thing I ask is how many treatments they had, and the answer is 1 or very little, which explains it!

So, yes, it’s hard to put a number on it but it’s so worth it’s while ✨

What can Five-Element Acupuncture help with?

More on this to come...but for me this image beautiful represents the answer to this question.

The drop in the centre is the root of the disease, and the ripples exemplify how treatment reaches all symptoms. Acupuncture is not linear. Treatment emanates through a person’s whole being, affecting all levels; mind, body and spirit… enabling it’s potential to being unlimited.

Even better that the image is of water, seeing as we are in the season of winter which is associated with The Water Element!
