A belated graduation ceremony this week 👩🏻‍🎓 It was brilliant to be in the company of my colleagues and friends again and share memories and updates of our learning and practice as well as catch up with tutors and amazing speakers from .

I look forward to more studying one day, but for now it’s time to focus on my own practice 🙏🏻

It’s one of the greatest joys and privileges to be part of someone’s transition into motherhood.

Thanks so much for trusting me x

Rather than a state of ill health, pregnancy is an incredible condition of change and growth. But the strain on the mind and body is great, and can be uncomfortable and overwhelming.
Moreover, tools we might normally reach for such as medications, hobbies or foods may not be advised at this time which can make it harder to cope with.

Traditional acupuncture is a safe, effective, gentle way to support the natural process of pregnancy.
Women come for treatment for many reasons including support with common symptoms like nausea, aches and pains and anxiety.
It can also be successful in encouraging a breech baby to turn at the right gestation, and often women are referred by their midwife.

Acupuncture can help women feel physically and mentally prepared for the onset of labour, and beyond the due date can be used to gently encourage contractions and help the body transition into active labour.

Beyond pregnancy, women can find support with healing, hormone balance, fatigue, mood changes, and lactation difficulties.

Got long term pain or headaches/migraine?

Conventional clinical guidelines (NICE) recommend a course of acupuncture could help (from a well trained practitioner) - ask your GP!

Not sure what’s top of your list?
Pain can be the main reason someone comes for treatment, but frequently it becomes clear that there are also other things preventing them from feeling like themselves.

Good news! Traditional acupuncture is from a holistic model of medicine (Chinese medicine), which works in a way that can very often support multiple symptoms by getting to the root cause of your individual presentation.
