I’m back!

This summer I embraced a Great Summer Switch Off – stepping away from social media to rest, reset, and reconnect without the constant pull of scrolling or creating content. The difference has been profound.

I also spent time in the remote wilderness of Sweden, living simply and close to nature. That experience gave me a level of growth and renewal beyond anything I’ve known before …a true reminder of the power of nature, space, and presence.

Meanwhile, Acupoint has quietly been a hidden gem, with some of our services known only to those who’ve stepped through the door. Many of you already understand the depth of what we do, but for others it has remained a little under the radar. That’s about to change.

A brand-new website is on its way – created to shine a light on what Acupoint truly specialises in and how we can support your health and wellbeing.

Thank you for your patience while I took this pause. I’m returning refreshed, grounded, and excited to share this next chapter with you.

Hands up…how many of you run on empty?
What would you do if your phone battery was low?
Charge it or leave it to go completely flat?

As a stress illness practitioner, I see this all the time, people pushing through exhaustion until their body quite literally pulls the emergency brake. Illness, burnout, fatigue, pain, chronic and persistent symptoms … it’s your body’s way of saying, “Enough already!”

In this non-stop world, rest isn’t lazy…it’s essential.
So go on, take five. Pause. Breathe. Reset, before your body makes you!

Sciatica can quite literally be a pain in the “bum”….and in many other parts of life, too. It’s always rewarding to see another patient break free from chronic pain, thanks to the powerful combination of medical electroacupuncture and a dash of neuroscience. A great reminder that recovery is possible, even when the pain has overstayed its welcome! Please note I cannot guarantee you can touch your toes! ☺️

🧠 I’ve Just returned from the incredible SIRPA Conference at The Royal College of London… and I’m buzzing with inspiration!

As a healthcare professional, medical acupuncturist & mind-body (SIRPA) practitioner based in the heart of Worksop, I work with people facing chronic pain, stress illness, persistent symptoms and beyond. This event was a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, which is experienced by many of my patients — not just management, but real recovery.

Hearing from some of the most respected minds in modern pain and trauma informed science — like Dr. Howard Schubiner (leading neuroscientist)
Prof. Deepak Ravindran (director of chronic pain & lifestyle medicine NHS & multi award winning pain expert),
Dr. Yonit Arthur (Audiologist), Dr. Sarah Hadfield (GP), Dr. David Clarke, and many more — reminded me: I’m not just watching a movement unfold, I’m part of it 🌍💥

The message is clear: we’re shifting from “you’ll have to live with it” to “you can recover” — and I’m living proof, along with so many others. This isn’t fringe. It’s the future of medicine, it’s cutting-edge research, and it’s happening now and happening in Worksop at Acupoint.

To be in this space, in my own community, doing this vital work in Worksop alongside evidence based medical acupuncture — it’s humbling and energising. Let’s keep pushing for change, one person, one story, one recovery at a time. You are a whole person, body & mind. Not just a symptom to be managed. 🧠 🙌

Dr Howard Shubiner (leading neuroscientist) identified- The 5 F’s That Can Block Recovery from Chronic Pain & Persistent Symptoms.
1. Fear – Worrying about pain, movement, or what might be “wrong” keeps the nervous system on high alert, which can prolong symptoms.
2. Focus – Constantly checking in on pain or scanning the body reinforces the brain’s belief that there’s a threat.
3. Frustration – Feeling angry at your body, doctors, or yourself creates tension, which can fuel ongoing symptoms.
4. Fighting – Battling the pain or trying too hard to get rid of it can backfire. Healing happens when we shift from fear to understanding.
5. Fixing – Relying heavily on treatments or physical solutions may unintentionally send the message that your body is broken, which can slow recovery.

Recovery begins with safety, self-compassion, and a new way of relating to your symptoms. At Acupoint, we specialise in whole-person recovery - helping you heal from the inside out.

Just like tea and biscuits, your mind and body work together. At Acupoint, we understand that true recovery means caring for the whole you - not just a part.

Happy Easter everyone…may your Easter be filled with joy, and just the right amount of chocolate (for medicinal purposes, of course!)🐰

Recovery is within reach - validated by science and confirmed by the journeys of my patients. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mood feeling a little… meh? Pain weighing you down? You might just need a few tiny needles to turn things around.

At Acupoint Clinic, we see how medical acupuncture helps our patients feel better inside and out. Research shows it boosts your body’s natural feel-good chemicals, like endorphins and serotonin…helping lift your mood, ease those aches and pains and calm that busy nervous system.

Less tension, more balance, better sleep, less pain and a whole lot more “you” again. It’s science-backed, subtle, and surprisingly relaxing.

🏃🏽‍♀️ It’s inspiring to see this young athlete back in action and doing what she loves! According to research published in the Journal of Sports Medicine, up to 75% of athletes experience chronic pain, and for many, traditional treatments may not provide lasting relief. Acupoint offers a unique approach by combining medical acupuncture with mind-body medicine to address chronic pain. Or acupuncture alone depending on your needs.

Top athletes like Michael Phelps, one of the most decorated Olympians in history, NBA star Michael Porter Jr., and golfer Steve Ozanich have turned to mind-body medicine and found their recovery. Many others have also found significant relief through medical acupuncture. If pain is keeping you from performing at your best, it might be time to consider a different path to wellness.
