As we say goodbye to what seems a very brief Summer this year we fully welcome Autumn which brings a Metal element upgrade in TCM, signaling cozy sweater season and a chill atmosphere.

However, this shift can sometimes give your skin or digestion a little nudge, but fear not! Acupuncture can keep your energy and health balanced, making sure you're feeling great and embracing the Autumnal feels. 🍂☕️

Today in clinic, fire cupping the naval/bellybutton to eliminate internal cold & dampness. Patient experiences chronic digestion issues and wants to regulate her periods.

After removing the glass cup, the skin felt cold to touch compared to surrounding area, despite being a very warm day. The second picture shows the ‘blue tinge’ which indicates coldness being drawn out from the body.

Acupuncture needling after to boost digestion and balance the period cycle.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), coldness and dampness can enter the body through external factors like exposure to cold and damp environments, wearing wet clothing, or consuming cold and raw foods. Additionally, internal factors such as a weak spleen or kidney function can also contribute to the accumulation of cold and dampness within the body.

Self care looks like this for me ☝🏼

I’m working on a few projects in the background, some of which don’t involve me being in the clinic space. I regularly take time out for myself, recharge, reenergise ✨ reflect and revisit my work. So I can be the best 🌟 version of me for my patients 💗

Fortunately, I can add some needles into the mix and rebalance my body 🙏🏼 Hope you’ve all had a great day!

In clinic today, treating severe chronic neck pain using Dr. Tan’s balance method using hand acupuncture points. Patient felt instant relief from 6/10 levels to 0/10 during and after treatment.

Everyone heals at a different pace, and it’s quite common that such a chronic case will require a longer course of treatment, with the aim of reducing medications and being consistently pain free.

It’s been a very busy few weeks during and since Easter holidays.

Treatment for chronic knee pain from an old football injury. Discomfort level from 5/10 to 0.5/10 during and after needling.

Guess who’s got a Stony Easter Egg hunt clue in the window? 🐣💚

Today in clinic, during an Ancestral Clearing session, I was drawn to the inclusion of auricular acupuncture points for Heart/Mind and Liver energies. I felt this would greatly enhance the healing benefits and promote immediate physical relief of anxiety with mid-abdominal tension. Also, to encourage a better quality of sleep, as my patient has been suffering with insomnia recently. Additionally, a few scalp points for neck and mid-back pain.

We continued with the Ancestral Clearing, as the physical symptoms dispersed, allowing for a truly calm and serene sacred space together 🤍

My favourite press needles which are tiny derma needles on a round plaster, were applied at the ear points for her to “take away”. Using gentle pressure to reactivate that calming boost if and when needed.

I really thrive and enjoy the freedom to work intuitively, drawing on various aspects of my clinical practice creating a holistic healing experience that’s alchemical, my patients love it too.

•International Women’s Day•

Blessings from the Heart to each and every woman in our Circle and beyond.

It’s in the reach of my arms,
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me”
- Maya Angelou

Sharing the view on the way home from clinic, located a stone’s throw from the beautiful St Mary & St Giles church.

The local community in Stony Stratford takes such pride in our historic town, volunteers such as Stony in Bloom keep it looking picturesque and pretty all year round. We’re proud to be part of the bustling high street with many friendly independent retailers and businesses.

A beautiful thank you gift from a patient, and roses are my favourite flowers. Feeling the love and very blessed.

Take some time this weekend to nourish your soul 💗

As we welcome in the new year, it’s also a time to reflect and appreciate all that we achieved and experienced the past year. January 1st 2022 we saw the available empty shop space and here we are 365 days later. A calm and safe holding clinic space for healing, acupuncture, health, connecting and growth. Wishing you all a very happy, peaceful, healthy and prosperous 2023, keep manifesting, expressing gratitude, honouring where you are and how the present is unfolding 🙏🏼 Blessings to you all ✨
