Thank you January!!
Starting 2026 with old friends down south (oops not enough pics!), then back up north for beautiful crunchy snow and ice time;
escaping for a week of warmth, relaxing, exploring and nature in Tenerife with ;
and then back for another super busy clinic week ✨️☺️🥲🙏
So grateful for all of it!

Remember we are still in winter and yin energy and not rushing into the year... days are only just getting longer and snowdrops are just emerging... spring is only just beginning to stir... 🌱 chinese new year is not quite upon us... be gentle with yourself and stay cozy 🫠

Happy imbolc 💚

Thank you for always reminding me of my purpose!

So grateful always to my amazing patients... they all teach and inspire me and I'm so honoured to be able to help people with all the skills I've learned along the way ✨️🪄☯️

Every time someone walks into the treatment room and sighs in releif, every time someone tells me how their pain is better, or how they totally chilled out, or how they just feel a bit stronger or more able to deal with the stresses of life, or their symptoms are less frequent, or how they just realised they haven't had whatever issue for ages, or they slept amazingly or feel a bit more creative or motivated, or any of the tiny things that make them feel like they can live life better, my heart sings ✨️🥰

And yes I love and appreciate reviews like these because it hopefully inspires more people to get help and support, and to see that change is possible!

So thank you thank you for another amazing year of working with needles and Qi and restoring equilibrium in whatever way i can 🙏🙏🙏

Here's to a healthy and happy 2026 🎊❤️💝

Michelle at Sereniti Salt Retreat has always been ahead of the game! I have an infrared sauna now (ask me more!) but she has it all- Bioresonance, Hyperbaric oxygen, Halotherapy, PEMF, Ozone therapy, and more (i can't keep up!) I often send my patients her way, and love it when we can work together to help people build up their health and resilience and ultimately feel their best ! ✨️

🌙 Trouble Sleeping? Acupuncture Might Be the Answer 💤✨

Struggling with insomnia, restless nights, or waking up feeling exhausted? Acupuncture is a natural, drug-free solution that’s helped countless people get the restful sleep they deserve.

Here’s how it works:
✅ Calms the nervous system – Acupuncture activates your parasympathetic response (rest + digest mode).
✅ Reduces stress + anxiety – It helps lower cortisol levels, easing the mind before bed.
✅ Balances hormones + energy flow – Supporting deeper, more consistent sleep cycles.
✅ Treats root causes – Whether it’s pain, digestion, or emotional stress, acupuncture addresses the source of your sleep issues.

🪡 Just a few sessions can make a noticeable difference—without the grogginess of sleeping pills.

Hormone Balancing: There’s help for the UGGGGHHHH that perimenopause brings!

Hormone imbalances can affect every aspect of your life, from mood swings and fatigue to irregular cycles. Perimenopause isn’t pathological, though it often sure feels like it!! It affects everyone differently, and to varying degrees- in fact the unpredictability is one of the tricky aspects to navigate at this stage (in my experience! I'd love you to share below what you found or are finding a particular challenge?)
Acupuncture can help pave the way through this normal life change. Transitioning as smoothly as possible through the "zone of chaos" towards a calmer and more stable time- for us to spread our wings in a new form!

Acupuncture offers a natural way to restore balance, reduce symptoms, and support your overall well-being without relying on medications. And if you do choose to use HRT, we can help fill in the gaps where it isn’t quite getting the full job done. We never judge our patients–we meet them where they are in their healing journey.

Acupuncture helps regulate hormone levels, reduce stress, and enhance your body’s natural rhythm. Patients notice reduced PMS symptoms, feeling less bloated, less hot flashes, better sleep, better energy, and a more balanced mood.

Acupuncture is very old 🤓https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202506/1337002.shtml
It has lasted the test of time because it works.
And because it is always evolving in so many ways- needles have obviously improved for starters - though these are pretty impressive for their time!

Techniques are also refined and improved with practice and knowledge. NeoClassical Acupuncture is part of this evolution of holistic acupuncture practice, alongside other styles like auricular, scalp, Korean, Japanese and Tung and Tan Acupuncture. (Dry Needling is a separate category we won't go into right now!)

I love that as practitioners we're always learning, and always aiming for the best, most effective and efficient treatments for our patients, to let their bodies heal sustainably.
Experience it for yourself-
Get in touch ☺🙏

PTSD? Help your body and mind recover, naturally.
Post-traumatic stress and c-PTSD can leave you feeling stuck, anxious, or on edge. Caught in a feedback loop where your body doesn’t feel like it can ever escape.

Acupuncture helps calm your body’s fight-or-flight response, reduce physical symptoms like tension or insomnia, and restore your sense of safety and control. It does this on a physiological level, which helps your mind feel calmer and clearer.
You feel safe again.
Many patients find it easier to process and recover from trauma when their body feels balanced and supported. It’s a holistic approach to healing that complements other treatments.

We often help with PTSD symptoms like:
● Anxiety and hypervigilance
● Sleep disruptions and nightmares
● Chronic tension or physical discomfort
● Emotional numbness or overwhelm
● Difficulty focusing or feeling present

Take the first step toward feeling better.

Some of you have already admired the new addition to my treatment room- a beautiful painting my amazing mother painted many years ago! A series called Young Explorer- here is the photo of me (age 10?) jumping into a pool with my brother that inspired her! (looks like I've always found my joy in the water!)
I am very honoured to be part of this artwork- 🥹🙏mum saw me as bravely jumping into the world like our Viking ancestors when I went on my extensive travels (as soon as I could -pre mobile phones, pre internet... sorry mum! See the next painting- how she imagined me in the Cloudforest of Costa Rica when I was 18 💚)

I based my logo on this image as to me it also represents the sensation and qualities that I hope people can feel from Acupuncture: lightness and freedom - and that sense of regaining your spark and glow ✨
My work, to me, is all about supporting people to regain true health in this way- because when we find relief from pain, fear or anxiety, and when we are supported to build physical and emotional resilience - we can feel strong enough to move forward boldly, and to radiate lightness and love, which of course helps everyone around us too 🥰💫✨💥💖
Life is for living well!
Also- Happy Icelandic Independence day! 🇮🇸
