Amanda Nordell Acupuncture

Gua Sha might get mentioned everywhere now but it isn’t just a beauty trend — it’s a centuries-old technique that can help your skin and body thrive. With every stroke, you’re helping to release tension, promote circulation, and encourage natural beauty. 🌸 Curious how these little tools can make such a big impact? Let’s dive in.

And don't forget to check out a simple Gua Sha tutorial (perfect for beginners) I recently shared on my feed.

When it comes to self-care, there’s nothing quite like the feeling of being truly taken care of.

Your skin is a reflection of what’s happening beneath the surface. 🌟

When it comes to facial treatments, it’s not just about focusing on what you see in the mirror — it's about nurturing the deeper layers that support your natural beauty. My treatments focus on the architecture of your face, working with the muscles, improving circulation, and promoting lymphatic drainage to bring out your skin’s natural glow.

But it doesn’t stop there. By calming your nervous system and helping your body find balance, these sessions are designed to leave you feeling deeply relaxed, too.

This inside-out approach is what makes my facial treatments unique.

And with a personalised approach, I'm focused on supporting you on many different levels, naturally and holistically. 💖

Let me start by saying this is not going to be the story of how I went from zero to having my own studio in Dublin in an incredibly short time. Actually, what happened is quite the opposite.

Everything here has been growing slowly and gently over time, always putting my clients' well-being first.

Building my practice was a gradual process. I believe in an evidence-based approach to health and wellness, I like to question trends and I'm a natural sceptic!

Practising as an acupuncturist year after year, I noticed the significant impact acupuncture was having on my clients' lives. It offered solutions where Western medicine often fell short—neuropathy, pain, fertility, stress, trauma support, migraines... you name it.

And I knew I was on the right path. 💛

Here’s a snippet of what R. had to say about their experience: "Felt like I was floating the whole time, I was so relaxed!"

Chronic pain is more than just a physical challenge — it turns into an emotional journey that affects every aspect of life. I've been helping clients find relief with acupuncture, and the results have been truly transformative.

Did you know that acupuncture has been shown to significantly reduce chronic pain in several studies? 📚 They found that acupuncture was effective for conditions like back and neck pain, osteoarthritis and chronic headaches. It’s fascinating how these tiny needles can bring such relief.

Here’s how acupuncture can help you:

1️⃣ Natural pain relief: acupuncture targets specific points to reduce inflammation and stimulate natural healing processes. It’s a gentle approach that works with your body.

2️⃣ Improved mobility: regular treatments can help restore movement, making everyday tasks easier and more comfortable.

3️⃣ Holistic well-being: beyond pain relief, acupuncture promotes overall wellness by balancing energy and reducing stress.

If you're living with chronic pain and looking for a natural way to manage it, acupuncture might be your perfect match. Feel free to reach out for a chat or to book a session.

Let's start your journey to better pain management.

Wondering what is this Gua Sha you have heard about on socials? This post is for you!

Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese technique that involves gently scraping the skin with a smooth tool to promote circulation, reduce inflammation, and enhance your natural glow. It's like a luxurious massage for your face and body, leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalised.

Here's what makes Gua Sha special:

🔹 Boosts circulation: Gua Sha stimulates blood flow, bringing more nutrients and oxygen to your skin, which can help with healing and rejuvenation.

🔹 Reduces puffiness: say goodbye to tired, puffy eyes! Gua Sha helps drain lymphatic fluid, reducing puffiness and leaving your skin looking firm and lifted.

🔹 Relieves tension: feel the stress melt away as Gua Sha relaxes your facial muscles, easing tension and promoting relaxation.

Bonus: you can easily create your own beauty routine including both professional Gua Sha sessions and at-home pampering moments.

Whether you're new to Gua Sha or looking to incorporate it into your skincare routine, it's a beautiful way to embrace self-care and enhance your natural beauty. Give it a try, and let me know what you think. 💖

Feeling overwhelmed? Acupuncture might be just what you need to find your calm again.

Acupuncture helps your body balance itself naturally, reducing stress and bringing a sense of peace.

But it also has many other benefits and I could honestly spend hours talking about it!

✨HOW ACUPUNCTURE HELPS WITH STRESS RELIEF:

1) Acupuncture stimulates specific points in the body, releasing tension and promoting relaxation.

2) This natural treatment stimulates the release of endorphins, your body’s feel-good chemicals.

3) Acupuncture can help you sleep more soundly. Better sleep means better stress management.

4) Regular treatments can help lower anxiety levels, making it easier to handle daily stressors.

5) By supporting your body’s natural healing processes, acupuncture helps promote a greater sense of well-being.

Promise it doesn’t hurt!! 😅 One of the biggest concerns I hear from people who want to try acupuncture… is that they are worried they won’t be able to handle the pain. Well, I am here to debunk that myth!! Acupuncture is not a painful experience at all - in fact it’s quite the opposite✨ An acupuncture session will leave you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Almost every single person who has come for an acupuncture session with me has come back for a second and third session 🤩

If you are feeling particularly nervous, but you’d really like to try it, we can always begin with abdominal acupuncture. The abdomen is less sensitive to needling so this can be a great way to ease yourself in! And abdominal acupuncture can be used to treat the whole body with amazing results🙏
