A Mother's Feedback

The Circle has been a real source of support and nourishment for me as I emerged from a tricky birth into my fourth trimester. It’s been wonderful and very grounding to begin each new week surrounded by community, expertise and encouragement - not to mention cups of tea made by someone else, and drunk while hot! The Circle has become a touchstone of my week and has supported my journey not just with breastfeeding but also with finding my feet as a new mum in general. Thank you so much Thomasina, Simi and Alison!

Simi Wilhelm Shah , Alison Shaloe and Thomasina Lowe's Offering at 10am - 12pm on Mondays (drop-in at any time).

What the blazes! 

This UK summer has been hotter than most of us can remember. Some of us are loving it. Others are counting the days until it's cooler. 

Why are we all so different? 

According to Chinese Medicine, we all have our own unique balance of Yin and Yang. So while one person might thrive in a hot, energetic summer, someone else may find it completely depleting. 

If Yin and Yang have always sounded a bit mystical, here's a quick look. 

⭕ Yin - Feminine = Still, Cooling, Nourishing, Receptive, Moistening, Interior 

⭕ Yang - Masculine = Moving, Warming, Transforming, Active, Drying, Exterior
 
This summer has been incredibly Yang. 

While that can feel energising, too much Yang can make it harder to slow down, switch off and truly rest. 

You may have noticed more: 

⭕️ Tired but wired
⭕️ Restless sleep or insomnia
⭕️ Headaches or migraines
⭕ Anxiety or feeling overwhelmed
⭕️ Irritability or a short fuse
⭕️ Neck and shoulder tension
⭕️ Hot flushes or menopausal symptoms flaring
 
Acupuncture helps restore balance by nourishing Yin and calming your nervous system. Better still, you get permission to lie down, close your eyes while Sophie or Sunila work with your body's underlying patterns, giving you the chance for a deep rest and reset. 

Our next Acupuncture Collective is on 17 August, just a few days after the spectacular solar eclipse. Whether you're into lunar cycles or not, it feels like the perfect moment to pause, reset and head into late summer feeling more balanced. 

We'd love to see you there.
 
Our next Acupuncture Collective is taking place between 2pm to 8pm on Monday 17th August.
