Yes, but I strongly recommend that the child’s main carer also
has treatment. The reason for this is because children sometimes
reflect imbalances which originate in adults. A written consent will
be required from the parent or guardian of any child under the age
of 18.
Yes, definitely. The treatment should help you get over it
faster, and can be useful for me to see how your energy behaves in
stressful situations like these.
Absolutely. Some people, though, feel a bit relaxed after
treatments and prefer to relax for the rest of the day. Others feel
inspired and full of energy and can’t wait for some action.
No, you should carry on life as normal. There are no problems if
you have a big meal before or afterwards
Alcohol can affect the treatment, therefore is advisable not to
drink for 24 hours after a session.
Absolutely. They are single use only acupuncture needles.
Actually, acupuncture needles are very different from hypodermic
needles. They are smaller, thinner. They are also solid, so won’t
take anything into the body or bring anything out of it.
On the contrary, acupuncture is a complementary therapy which
won’t interfere with the effect of the medication. In some cases it
will help ease side effects.
No, you don’t. But I do recommend that if you are due to see your
GP you let him/her know.
There is a sensation when the needle contacts the energy, which
tends to feel like an either sharp or dull pinch. This sensation
shouldn’t last longer than few seconds, though.

For those with no particular complaints, but
want to maintain a healthy balance.
During pregnancy acupuncture helps in
lessening morning sickness during the
initial stages. It maintains the woman’s
balance of energy which helps the body to
cope with the demanding changes during this
time. It also provides post natal support:
physically, by helping the body re-adjust
itself, and emotionally, by helping the
woman to cope with the daily demands of
being a new mother. For those already having
treatment throughout pregnancy with me, I
also offer a session with the mother-to-be
and her birth partner on acupressure. The
partner will learn how to locate and use
acupressure points to aid with labour, in
controlling pain, and with immediate post
labour recovery.
It helps to deal with the emotional stress a
person is under when faced with the
possibility of fertility problems, which can
cause more distress, thus making conception
even more difficult. It also can be used
alongside IVF treatment as a means of
controlling side effects, emotional support
and helping the body process the treatment.
Used alongside chemotherapy and radiotherapy
as a means of managing side effects and
providing emotional support in dealing with
the illness. Patients frequently comment on
how full of energy and stamina they feel
after acupuncture treatment. I also helps
those close to someone diagnosed with cancer
to keep strong emotionally and physically in
order to support them.
By stimulating the body’s immune system
acupuncture helps in preparing the body to
respond quicker and more effectively to these illnesses.
