This is an exciting time here for us at Ultimate Skin Clinic, not just because it is nearly Christmas ( how is it December and nearly here already by the way) but because we have amazing news to share with you all.
We are welcoming to our clinic a super talented practitioner who brings with her a wealth of knowledge and experience, along with a whole list of new treatment options for you to choose from.
We have had our eye on her for quite some time as her results are truly unbeatable, and in some cases, life-changing for clients. What she offers beautifully compliments our existing treatment portfolio and will support our holistic approach to ensuring you achieve the best version of yourself. Skin can 'do it's thing' when the whole of you is happy and balanced inside and out.
So without further ado let us introduce you to Catherine Blofeld Acupuncture and here are a few words from the lady herself.....
"Hi I’m Catherine and I am very excited to be coming to The Ultimate Skin Clinic.
A little bit about me.
For the last 30 years I have worked as a healthcare provider. I initially trained as a counsellor but after a few years working independently for Newcastle Social Services I felt burnt out and convinced there was a different way to address suffering.
I then moved into bodywork/massage hoping to help my patients by approaching things physically. I trained in massage (Swedish, Remedial, Sports/Deep tissue along with Aromatherapy and Reflexology which I have been practicing for 20 years plus but was always wanting to be able to offer more. Then 10 years I fell in love with acupuncture.
I have always been interested in the mind body connection and the ways to harness that connection as a way to healing.
After my youngest son started school I was lucky to be able to pursue a degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine which I completed 7 years ago and have been in practice ever since.
Since graduating I have done further specialist training in ElectroAcupuncture which adds a very exciting dimension to the efficacy of my treatments. The majority of my patients feel an immediate improvement even after their first appointment.
Acupuncture is a whole health system which works by looking at all aspects of the individual and seeking to restore balance within the body
A typical week would see me treating:
Pain - lots of it !
Musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction including but not limited to; back pain, sciatica, hips, knees, necks fingers and toes
Arthritis
Plantar faciitis
Frozen shoulder
RSI
Migraines/Headaches
Chronic UTI/Interstitial cystitis
Stress/Anxiety/Depression
Allergies/Hayfever
Sinusitis
Menopause
PMS
Painful periods
IBS/Digestive disorders/Bowel problems
Chronic Fatigue/Long Covid/Fibromyalgia
Immunity problems
Low Energy/insomnia
I enjoy the challenge of finding the approach and style that works best for each individual. This happens through me getting to know you during our first consultation where I will ask lots of health history questions which you would expect to hear from anyone in medicine, as well as a couple that you wouldn’t !
I will also inspect your tongue and take your pulse to help me identify the best way to treat you.
If you would like to talk to me about whether acupuncture might be for you I offer a 15minute free consultation. You can ask me whatever you like and I’ll check your tongue and pulse too !
Really looking forward to meeting you soon !
Catherine"
