Caring for your well-being

Five Element Acupuncture is a traditional form of acupuncture rooted in Chinese medicine.  Treatment involves inserting fine needles into specific acupuncture points associated with the identified element to restore harmony and promote overall well-being. This approach emphasises the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of health.

It is the fundamental belief that many physical problems expressed and experienced by patients today are the product of emotional and spiritual distress as much as any physical cause.

Therefore, the aim of Five-Element Acupuncture is to isolate the cause of the complaint, to support and correct the cause, and within that process, for each individual to discover a greater sense of them Self. This helps the person feel at home in their own skin and gives the patient tools for life in order to implement any necessary changes, and to live life as fully and as consciously as possible.

In Five Element Acupuncture, moxibustion is used as a therapeutic tool to help balance the body's energy and address imbalances in the Five Elements:

Moxibustion has a warming and tonifying effect on the body. It can help strengthen weak or deficient meridians associated with a particular element.

With reflexology the feet are  the part of the soul I can get my hands on and provide excellent insight into what the past has written about your present into your physiology.

The ears and attendant acupuncture system really allows even greater clearing if physical toxins, inherited patterns and disturbances in the psyche. These skills combined with my ability to work with the individual allow the calming of the raging tides, the balancing and re-centering of the whole person. 

My training with Wendy Mandy gives me further direction on how we can take our healing journey deeper still.
