Work With Me

I take the time to truly listen. Your whole story and history matter — not just your symptoms, but the context of your life, your experiences, and how everything connects.

My clinic is a calm, nurturing space where you can exhale. My intention is that you leave feeling more at ease, more supported, and more yourself than when you arrived.

Alongside acupuncture, I may draw on other traditional modalities such as moxibustion, cupping, or herbal medicine when appropriate. Each treatment is tailored to your unique constitution, your goals, and the underlying pattern of imbalance we’re working with.

While we absolutely address the physical body, my approach also honours the mind and spirit. This is holistic care — thoughtful, individualised treatment designed to create meaningful shifts on every level

 

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is the insertion of very fine needles into the body at specific points. The average treatment requires around 6 needles.  Although there may be as little as 3, or as many as 10 depending on the location they need to go into, your condition, and your constitution.

Acupuncture improves the flow of Qi (energy) and Blood to remove blockages and restore vital flow to the body.

The benefits are both physical and emotional as the Qi flow improves. The number of treatments needed varies depending on the person and the condition you present with.

Supplements and Chinese Herbs

Herbs and supplements are prescribed as part of your at-home self care to enhance your acupuncture treatment.
 
Chinese Herbs are either in powder or capsule form. I am committed to using only the finest quality supplements and herbs.

Cupping

Cupping is the use of glass cups that are placed on your body at specific points where they create a suction effect.  They are used to remove stagnation, move the Qi and clear cold pathogens.  Often used to treat pain, but useful in many other conditions too.

Moxabustion

Moxa is a Chinese Herb called Ai Ye (mugwort or artemesia).  It is processed down into a smokeless form, so its not too smokey and smelly.  After lighting it is held NEAR chosen acupuncture points or areas.  It warms the area, moves the Qi and is nourishing.  Used for turning breech babies, often given to the client to take home and use as part of self treatment.
