I discovered the benefits of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine through my own journey living with chronic pain. I found it so beneficial that I trained for 3 years to become an acupuncturist myself! I am very excited about being in a place where I can bring hope, health and healing to people in a natural way by promoting the body's own natural self healing process.

💖Healing doesn’t have to be loud
💖Healing doesn’t have to be dramatic

✨It can just be about sitting with your feelings
✨Connecting to what’s missing
✨And clearing space

🩸That’s where the Luo Vessels sit beautifully. It’s our bodies fascinating way of showing us what’s stuck and how/where it needs released.

🫁I’m using the Lung Luo here.
🥺We develop Lung Luo vessels when there’s some sort of separation, a grief of some sort. Or if we haven’t received something we need like love, intimacy, some kind of connection is missing.

🥰When we bleed a Lung Luo it will make the person feel more connected to life.

🙌It also opens space for dealing with conflict that you maybe don’t want to or are not in the position to deal with.

❤️It’s beautifully freeing

👉For those of you who want to know what I’m actually physically doing here..
👉I am opening the Lung Luo channel first on my wrist, just like a little ‘hello’ to the stored, often repressed, emotions or stuck pathogens.
👉I then check both my thenar eminences (the chicken drumstick looking part of the hand) looking for visible veins - ie where the emotions / pathogens have been stored in the blood.
👉And then I release them using the lancet.
👉Just look at the dark blood coming out… indicating the stagnation and/or length of time that emotion has been there.
👉Now I will harmonise with a little bit of moxa on another point, do a little breath work and let it all the hope, health and healing flow a bit more freely again.

👀 Have a little look at your own thenar eminences and see if you can spot any visible veins.. it’s fascinating!

😡 Identifying with Hulk? 😡

💥 This could be a case of Liver Qi Stagnation 💥

➡️ In Chinese Medicine the liver is in charge of the smooth flow of qi (vital energy) and blood.

✨ Emotionally, the liver is responsible for managing emotions and is strongly associated with anger, frustration and resentment.

🥺 And when that gets stuck we see symptoms like:

Irritability, stress, anger, PMS, painful menstruation, headaches, shoulder tension, digestive issues, and muscle spasms.

⏰ It’s also good to note that if you’re waking up between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. that can often indicate a liver-related disturbance, as this is when the Liver is most active.

👉 So if you resonate with our friend Hulk, what can we do about it?

1. Take a look at the ‘Liver 3’ point on the diagram, find it by running your finger up from Liver 2 and you’ll fall into a tender dip… use your finger or an acupressure tool to massage the point with a deep, circular, steady pressure. Really focus on freeing up that Liver energy, taking deep, healing breaths.

2. Journalling is an excellent tool to release ‘stuck emotions’ and feelings that maybe you couldn’t bring to the person / situation you’re frustrated or angry with. Get it all out on paper, anger, disappointment, sadness, whatever it is.. be honest and then simply burn or rip up the paper to let it go. Your nervous system won’t know it wasn’t actually addressing the person but it will still feel all the relief and freedom of letting it go.

3. Gentle movement / exercise
Moving the body naturally moves stuck qi and energy.

4. Eat sour foods to support your liver and encourage detoxification.. eg lemons. Eat lots of green leafy vegetables… prioritising cooked food always and drink green tea 💚

💖 I hope this helps in our ‘Hulk’ moments 💖

Welcoming in the year of the Yang Fire Horse!

This year will be full of fast-moving and uncompromising energy 🔥 Last year’s shedding, with it being the year of the snake, has very aptly been preparing for the momentum and intensity of the year ahead.

With Yang Fire being the dominant element, it strongly encourages forward progress, but with all that movement and speed we really need to concentrate on balance, so lots of self care, mindfulness and good rest is a must.

And as always, with the change of the year, throw open your doors and windows to allow the old to drift out and the new to be freely and calmly welcomed in 💖

🔉 Sound on!

My kids are so used to my Chinese Medicine ways, foot-soaks being the go-to, needles and ear seeds in more often than not, and cups stuck on for the win.

I was blood letting the outside of my little toe to help free up my lower back and Theo wanted to get in on the action 🙌

With blood letting you use a point to ‘open up’ the channel you’re focusing on and then you’ll often see little veins on or around the area of that channel.

These veins are asking to be bled and released.

This can help with excess emotions, pain, stiffness, detoxing, infection and clearing heat.

The smallest of drops of blood equates to a good release and sometimes you get “lots of blood”, which is especially exciting if you’re 6…. And also 48 tbh ✨

😭 From magic to madness in a split second!

I had such a brill afternoon with Anna and Theo in the snow yesterday (poor Lily has a cold/flu thing at the mo 🤒)… to turning on the taps in the cabin to water my plants and BOOM!!

Pipes completely burst, water gushing out at what felt like 100miles an hour, from under my sink where I keep all my needles and a good bit of my stock.

Poor kiddos experienced 10mins of pure frantic panic while I searched for the stop c**k behind all my stock (lesson learnt)… meanwhile the whole cabin floor getting saturated while we tried to cover the burst pipe (poor Anna’s thumb is still sore and swollen 😳), clear as much stock out as we could and lift all the electrics off the ground.

In the midst of panic we did what we had to do, I was able to twist, bend, lift all in the freezing cold water… but then when my husband sped home and my brother rushed round in his pickup after picking up an industrial dehumidifier…. And all I could do was stand and observe all the damage and slowly take in all that happened… yip you guessed it…. My back went into a nasty deep spasm.

The shock and the drama of all that has just happened went straight to my most vulnerable place.

Last night lying in bed, needled, ear seeded, hot water bottled up to the max with Guasha in hand… I was so aware of how our brains so quickly recognise ‘danger’ and send that signal straight to our bodies to tell us to ‘STOP!!’ All is not well, drawing attention to the immediate need for retreat and safety in what is seen as an ‘unsafe’ situation.

I am fully aware my life wasn’t in danger, but my brain was so acutely switched on to the stress of it all, it automatically informed my body to respond.

Can you see ways your mind/body does this?
I see it all the time with my clients… in many forms; cold sores, IBS, joint pain, migraines, muscle spasms, psoriasis, insomnia, to name a few!

So what can we do?

We need to let our brain know we’re actually ok.

We need to re-wire our neuro-plasticity (the way our brain automatically responds to stress).

And this CAN be done…

Just a little word of comfort for those of us who may need it.

There’s a big emphasis on the New Year, the Powerful Year of the Horse…

We are transient, continually in motion and cyclical beings with glorious potential for change, development and progress when we feel lead and more importantly when it is natural and right for us to do so. That is, in my opinion, when lasting change happens. When there is truth, alignment, purpose and the inner strength to do so.

The year of the horse, which starts around end Jan/mid Feb (17th Feb if you want to be exact) can provide powerful momentum for boldness and the realisation of dreams and plans that the previous year of the snake has perhaps been shedding and releasing in preparation.

It’s a beautiful way to look at the years as they roll by and this year of the horse will serve many of us well.

Please don’t forget, the whole root of Chinese medicine is all about beautiful balance and harmony.

Let’s not pressurise ourselves into other peoples moulds. Let’s spend time sitting with ourselves, finding out what we need and what feels better for us, in our own time. All with the knowing that this powerful year of the horse is backing us up all the way while the year of the snake is still here to encourage movement and releasing of what we feel doesn’t serve us and what we’d feel better not to bring alongside us going forward ✨

Sending love, light and peace for the year ahead, Sarah x

As 2025 draws to a close I wanted to say a heartfelt thank you 🙏

To my treasured clients, to all our wonderful Chill Fridays crew, to all the many ears I’ve needled and seeded, to those of you who support me by buying from my wee website shop (if only you could see the happy dances) for everyone who recommends me and speaks kindly of my work, for every message, comment, like and share.

It’s definitely been a challenging year in lots of ways for me and I’m going into 2026 feeling vulnerable and a bit shaky… but also with a heart full of gratitude, awe and hope. And as always, on full look out for all the sparkly bits coming my way ✨

My heart is full of gratitude and amazement for the deeper work I’ve done into Classical Chinese Medicine and I am so excited about finding ways of rolling this out in real, accessible and impactful ways in 2026.

A huge thank you to my incredible friends and family who have stood by me, supported me and helped me baby step through some incredibly challenging times.

I wish each and every single one of us a year filled with peace of mind, kindness (to ourselves especially), strength and joy.. and holding the belief that hope, health and healing is available in abundance for us all ✨

Sending you all so much love, Sarah x

It’s been almost 3 months since I’ve been able to be out on my walk after a really horrible flare up 🥺

I haven’t felt this fragile in years

It’s been hard
It’s been scary
It’s been sad

It’s also been the 24 year anniversary of the accident and Siobhan’s death at the end of November.

It felt like a really tough one this year as that’s half my life.. half of my life changed forever, slowed down and dealing with pain and vulnerability.

But also, 24 years extra.
24 years to experience this beautiful world. 24 years of joy, creation, excitement, love, learning and chances.

I may be slower today (for now)
I may not have been able to walk the full walk (for now)
But my heart is full of gratitude 🙏

✨ So I continue this journey, praying for more hope, health and healing, beyond grateful for all I’ve learnt and the healing I’ve experienced through Chinese Medicine and enjoying all the beautiful sparkly bits along the way ✨
