Balance your energy. Ease your symptoms. Reconnect with your body.
Traditional acupuncture is part of an ancient Chinese system of health and healing that’s been used for thousands of years. Focused on your whole self — not just isolated symptoms — this treatment helps restore your internal balance by supporting the natural flow of energy in the body.
If you’re feeling stuck, depleted, or out of rhythm, acupuncture may help you find relief and realignment.
What does it involve?
Acupuncture is based on the idea that energy — or Qi — flows through specific pathways in the body. When that flow becomes blocked or imbalanced, it can affect your physical, mental or emotional wellbeing.
By placing ultra-fine needles into specific acupoints along the body’s meridians (energy channels), acupuncture can help:
- Stimulate the body's healing response
- Restore harmony between systems
- Unblock stuck energy
What else may be included?
- Cupping - suction cups used to release tension and improve circulation
- Moxibustion - warming the body using dried herbs
- Acupressure - manual pressure on energy points
All techniques are optional and discussed with you beforehand.
What can it support?
Acupuncture is used to help with a wide range of conditions — especially where nervous system regulation, hormonal support or pain relief are needed.
Common reasons people seek treatment include:
- Digestive issues (bloating, IBS, reflux)
- Anxiety, stress or low mood
- Back, neck and pain
- Menstrual discomfort or irregularity
- Migraines and tension headaches
- Fertility or IVF support
- Menopause symptom relief
- Fatigue and energy depletion
- Arthritis and inflammatory pain
- Musculosketal tension
Whether you’re seeking symptom relief or deeper rebalancing, acupuncture can offer a gentle and powerful path toward feeling better.
Cupping
Cupping is one of the oldest forms of medical treatment and has been part of traditional medical systems in countries such as China, Japan, Korea and Egypt. Also known as myofascial decompression, cupping involves the suction of a glass cup, performed by creating a vacuum with a flame or pump before being placed on the body.
Negative pressure from within the cup allows the pores of the skin to open up and, by lifting the local tissues, it encourages lymphatic drainage and fluid movement. The tissue becomes more mobile which softens underlying muscles, improves flexibility and reduces scar tissue adhesions.
Cupping can affect tissues up to 4 inches deep from the external skin. The cups are left from 5 to 20 minutes, depending on the nature of the presenting condition(s). They can be applied to certain acupuncture points as well as parts of the body that have been affected by pain. The skin will redden due to the congestion of blood flow.
Cupping will however often leave circular bruises in areas where the fascia is especially tight and where there is a particular need for the blood and lymph circulation to be supported. These bruises are completely painless and can often last 2-7 days.
