It is this time of the year again, people... Spring is back, and with it, hay fever 🌻🙈🤧 Instead of taking antihistamines every day, why not give acupuncture a try to improve your breathing in the long term?

Acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment for the relief of seasonal allergic rhinitis (or hay fever) symptoms. Nasal congestion, discharge, and itching are generally relieved after just a short course of treatment. We usually recommend coming for 4-6 weekly treatments initially for the whole season. Studies have shown that the effects of acupuncture treatment can last at least up to a year, but some patients remain free from hay fever for years after just one course of acupuncture!

For more information on acupuncture for hay fever, Madeleine, our acupuncturist, will be happy to answer 😊 mjc@eglantine-acupuncture.co.uk

To book straight away and give your nostral a good breath of fresh air, please send us an email at adele@thebalancerooms.co.uk ☀️

Madeleine graduated from The Acupuncture Academy in 2023 and was awarded a Distinction for her Professional Licentiate in Acupuncture, which is a three- year degree qualification accredited by the British Acupuncture Accreditation Board. She was also highly commended for my clinical work. Her training was extensive and covered all aspects of Chinese medical and acupuncture theory, with a focus on the Five Element approach. This style of acupuncture is completely individual to each patient. It works on the whole person to promote better functioning and balance, thereby addressing problems at the root and benefitting mental and physical health.

Madeleine is proud to be a member of the British Acupuncture Council and adhere to the Council’s Codes of Safe Practice and Professional conduct. British Acupuncture Council members are also registered with the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

Acupuncture with Madeleine at the Balance Rooms 💆🏻‍♀️

Acupuncture is a branch of traditional medicine that has been practised in China and the far east for thousands of years. It has been developed, tested, researched and refined over this time into a treatment option accessed by increasing numbers of patients in the West.

A growing body of evidence-based clinical research is discovering how the body responds to acupuncture and its benefits for a wide range of common health conditions. Many people have acupuncture to relieve specific aches and pains such as osteoarthritis of the knee, TMJ pain, headaches and low back pain, or for common health problems like an overactive bladder. Other people choose acupuncture when they can feel their bodily functions are out of balance but have no obvious western medical diagnosis leading to western medical treatment. Many also have regular treatments simply because they find it beneficial and relaxing.

The focus for a traditional acupuncturist is on the patient as an individual and not just their specific illness, and all symptoms are seen as part of an interconnected pattern.

For more information, do not hesitate to have a look at Madeleine's website : https://eglantine-acupuncture.co.uk/

Madeleine is receiving her clients for treatments on Mondays 9am to 1pm and 2pm to 4pm; and on Tuesdays 9am to 2pm

To book Madeleine's Acupuncture treatments, please email at adele@thebalancerooms.co.uk or text at 01490 353 001

Today at Chair Yoga, we had a good laugh when I realised that instead of saying "menton au tibia" for our lower back and sciatic nerve stretch, I said "chin to shin"

Our wonderful group of crazy yogi ladies looked at me a bit startled, thinking first that I was kidding (never 🙂‍↔️), and second that they would never get there (which they did 🥳🫶❤️)

But why "shin" for tibia!? So I went looking for the etymology 🧐 If in French, we use the Latin base "tibia" (I mean obviously), in English, it goes back to the Middle English "schyne", Old English "scinu" but also the Germanic tongue with "skinu" or "schiene"

So be prepared next week to practice "chin to tibia" or "chin to shin" or "chin to skinu" depending on my mood 😈🫡💙 Good luck, ladies

Before becoming a therapist, I experienced my own share of challenges, including work stress, loss, family dynamics, and anxiety. These experiences have given me a deeper understanding of life’s complexities. When we work together, I bring not only therapeutic expertise but also genuine life experience to support your mental wellbeing. In my spare time, I love hiking with Fred my dog and cooking food for friends.

Counselling and Psychotherapy at the Balance Rooms with Sue

Real Counselling and Psychotherapy provides a safe, supportive environment to express your feelings and explore what’s happening in your life. Whether you’re navigating recent changes, facing new challenges, or working through longstanding difficulties, this space is here for you to address the issues causing pain, unhappiness, anxiety, depression and trauma both current and historic.

It takes courage to acknowledge when life feels overwhelming. Together, we’ll explore your situation, helping you gain a deeper understanding of yourself. My role is not to provide solutions but to guide you toward greater insight, empowering you to make choices that lead to a happier, more fulfilled life.

As both an individual and couple’s counsellor, I use proven and respected theories within the fields of psychology and mental health. As a couples counsellor I work with couples on addressing communication challenges, navigating changes in sexual intimacy, adjusting to life transitions like children moving out, or rediscovering who they are as a couple. I also provide non-judgmental support for couples in multiple-partner relationships or those exploring kink, among other areas.

To book Sue, you can call her at +447780606420

Celebrating the year of the Wood Snake

Bidding farewell to the mythical Dragon, we have welcomed the Year of the Snake on January 29th — the first day of the Lunar New Year.

The Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, signals the traditional start of the agricultural season and its origins can be traced back thousands of years. As well as welcoming prosperity and luck for the New Year, it is also traditionally a time to honour ancestors and deities.

In the Chinese zodiac, the snake is the sixth of the twelve-year cycle of animals and represents those born in 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001 and 2013. There are also five zodiac elements - wood, fire, earth, metal and water. This year is the Year of the Wood Snake.

I have decided to publish this quick celebration with a picture of Alex and I, as he is a Wood and I was born in 1989...

I hope the Lunar New Year brings you much health and beautiful new adventures. May you be blessed by prosperity and happiness. Happy Year of the Snake!
