๐ŸŒฟ Have you heard of Battlefield Acupuncture for Fast, Gentle Pain Relief?

If youโ€™re dealing with acute pain that stops you in your tracks and makes everyday tasks feel impossible I offer Battlefield Acupuncture (BFA) as part of my pain-management support.

It was originally developed for military medicine, ans is a technique using tiny semi-permanent needles placed on specific points of the ear. Many people feel changes within minutes and typically report a reduction in their pain score.

It can be especially helpful for:
โœจ Sudden back or neck pain
โœจ Muscle spasm/ joint pain
โœจ Migraine or severe headache
โœจ Injuries and flare-ups
โœจ Post-operative discomfort
โœจ Period pain/ endometriosis pain
โœจ When pain is too severe for standard acupuncture initially

Why I offer it:
Because so many of the people I support are living with high levels of stress, exhaustion, hormonal shifts, or neurodivergent sensory loads and when pain hits, they need something fast, gentle, and safe.
BFA fits beautifully with my approach: calm, compassionate, and focused on getting you functioning again as quickly as possible.

What to expect:
๐ŸŒฟ A short assessment
๐ŸŒฟ Placement of tiny ear needles that stay in for up to a few days
๐ŸŒฟ A noticeable reduction in pain for many people
๐ŸŒฟ Optional follow-up with full acupuncture or coaching, depending on what your body needs

Evidence:
Research is mixed, but several studies show that BFA can offer meaningful short-term pain relief for some people, particularly with acute pain. Itโ€™s considered safe, low-risk, and a valuable tool when you need rapid support.

If youโ€™re struggling with pain or you want to know whether BFA could help you send me a message. Details in comments.

This isn't my study but one I'm really interested in and by a great team. They are specifically looking for more responses from women who took / take ADHD medication whilst breastfeeding.

They would love to hear from women in the UK with a baby under two who you breastfed/ are currently breastfeeding whilst taking ADHD medication.

But it can also be exhausting, physically, emotionally, spiritually.

You give everything, and sometimes, it still doesnโ€™t feel enough.

As a fertility acupuncturist, nurse, and midwife, I bring three decades of medical experience together with Chinese Medicine insight, I help you restore your energy, reduce stress, and prepare your body for treatment, so you increase your chances of success and feel more like yourself through it all.

Youโ€™re not just a patient. Youโ€™re a person.

If youโ€™re already dreading Christmas, youโ€™re not alone.

Maybe the thought of noise, family dynamics, or pressure to be cheerful feels too much right now.

Your moods feel unpredictable. Sleep is elusive.

Itโ€™s not that youโ€™ve changed, itโ€™s that your hormones have.

Acupuncture can help calm your mind, ease anxiety, and steady your emotions through this season of overwhelm.

So you can feel present again.

Not perfect. Just peaceful.

โœจ โ€œYou deserve to feel like yourself again, even during the busiest season.โ€ โœจ

But what if waiting isnโ€™t helping? Your life isnโ€™t on pause, and hope shouldnโ€™t be either.

You deserve care now. To understand your body. To explore whatโ€™s possible.

I combine three decades of Western medical experience with Traditional Chinese Medicine to help you take back control of your fertility journey.

Whether youโ€™re trying naturally or with IVF, acupuncture can support your body and your emotions, so you donโ€™t have to put your hope on hold.
