After exactly 10 years of acupuncture practice today I will be finishing up and moving into a new phase of life for some time to become a muma. Maternity leave starts tomorrow and my lovely reception team put on a delicious spread to celebrate.

Looking forward to this course later this year and learning to use this level of technique in the clinic.

Super excited about presenting in the NeuroLab tomorrow with Dr. Michael Corradino on our first-ever Neuropuncture Stellate Ganglion neuro-modulation case studies. This groundbreaking research and clinical technique have been years in the making, and presenting our first clinical trials is very fulfilling.

I'll be presenting a case study on Raynaud's phenomenon. Here's a sneak peek at the clinical mindset behind this prescription:

1) Targeting the central processes of the Vagus nerve sensory and motor nuclei aims to modulate the Vagus nerve immune reflex, regulate the central autonomic network, and maintain homeostasis of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, ultimately enhancing vagal tone.

2) Changing the polarization of the Stellate ganglion serves to disrupt sympathetic nervous system outflow and promote vasodilation, thereby improving peripheral circulatory perfusion in the thoracic and upper extremity regions.

3) By regulating autonomic nervous system networks and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, we aim to modulate circulatory dynamics, mitigating excessive vasospasm triggered by stress and cold exposure.

Did you know Acupuncture can be used for so much more than back and neck pain? Acupuncture is an amazing form of treatment for an array of ailments, including the likes of hayfever, migraine headache and pre-birth prep! 💥

We are relocating

For the past 6 years it has been an honor to serve Golden Bay. I am greatful to all my clients for allowing me to be part of your healing journeys and to my colleagues for all the referrals, support and really making the health centre feel like a team and a family. You will all be missed.

In November we will be moving north to Kirikiriroa Hamilton, I will be opening a new clinic there when I find the right space. I'm looking forward to seeing what this holds and what opportunities may arise.

Please get in touch if you would like any final treatments during October.
Or Hamilton folks if you would like to try acupuncture when I am there.

Thankyou
