We see a lot of people who hold tension in the jaw, placing excess pressure on their teeth, and leaving the muscles tight and sore! Many people need to wear a mouth guard at night to protect their teeth from excessive jaw tension. You?

Acupuncture in this area is great for releasing tense muscles & calming the nervous system systemically. Hernan also approaches the problem with massage inside the mouth, to release the pain. This is called inner buccal massage.

All our team can support you in this area, so if you are looking for some relief, get in touch. 04 9746541

Change is inherent in life, and having the flexibility to adapt and pivot can be key to feeling at peace and not bottled up with resentment.

The 'Liver' organ/network/system in Chinese medicine is all about good blood flow through the body, but also the free flow of emotions. We all know how easy it is for emotions to feel stuck inside.. blocked, deadened, numb, withheld.

This point 'Liver 3/ Taichong is a popular point used to help relax tension and let emotions move more gracefully through our system to be processed. Ideally leaving us more present and light to move on with life.

If you are struggling to process some deep emotions, maybe give acupuncture a whirl? Letting us know the type of emotion you are stuck in, we can further refine which systems to regulate. 🫶

If you are not feeling your best post partum, maybe it is time to seek out some support and help recover from the immense journey that is growing and birthing a baby.

We have recently had Dr Amy Schegel join our team, who completed her PhD in the area of post natal depression. We welcome you to book in with Amy or any of the team.

Here's a breakdown of the reasons:

🧠 1. Mood Regulation & Stress Relief

Acupuncture can help regulate the nervous system, reducing stress and anxiety.

It may stimulate the release of endorphins, serotonin, and other neurotransmitters that positively affect mood.

🌿 2. Hormonal Balance

Postnatal depression is linked to rapid hormonal changes after birth.

Acupuncture may help modulate hormone levels, including cortisol, estrogen, and progesterone, which are involved in mood and emotional regulation.

😴 3. Improved Sleep & Energy

Many new mothers suffer from sleep deprivation and fatigue, which can worsen depressive symptoms.

Acupuncture may promote restful sleep and reduce tiredness, contributing to better mental health.

🧘‍♀️ 4. Mind-Body Connection & Emotional Release

The acupuncture process often provides a calming space for new mothers to reconnect with their bodies.

Treatment can encourage a sense of self-care and emotional support, especially when paired with a caring practitioner.

🩺 5. Safe Adjunct Therapy

For women who want to avoid medication due to breastfeeding or personal preference, acupuncture offers a low-risk, drug-free alternative.

It can be used alongside conventional treatments, like therapy or medication, with guidance from a healthcare provider.

📚 Evidence Snapshot:

Some clinical studies suggest acupuncture may reduce depressive symptoms in postpartum women.

However, results are mixed, and it's generally considered supportive rather than a standalone cure.

✅ Considerations:

Always seek treatment from a qualified, registered acupunctu

Acupuncture can be beneficial for the face in several ways:

IMPROVED SKIN TONE & TEXTURE
By stimulating blood flow and collagen production, acupuncture can help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a more radiant and youthful appearance.

REDUCED FACIAL PAIN
Acupuncture can help to alleviate tension and pain in the facial muscles, which can be beneficial for people with conditions such as trigeminal neuralgia or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder.

RELAXATION & STRESS RELIEF
Acupuncture can help to reduce stress and promote relaxation, which can in turn help to reduce facial tension and promote overall well-being.

Laura recently opened her Wednesday's, so if you meed a mid week facial treatment, book in. 😊
