Compassionate Inquiry®
Compassionate Inquiry® is a psychotherapeutic approach created by Dr. Gabor Maté. This approach gently uncovers and releases the layers of childhood trauma, constriction and suppressed emotion embedded in the body, that are at the root of mental and physical illness and addiction.
When clients perceive the therapeutic relationship as a safe container, compassion and curiosity allow them to acknowledge and examine the traumatic events that happened to them as children, recognize the beliefs they internalized, and feel the emotions they suppressed. This contributes to the healing process .
Using Compassionate Inquiry, both the individual and therapist unveil the level of consciousness, mental climate, hidden assumptions, implicit memories and body states that form the real message that words both express and conceal.
When we can release ourselves from the hold of these stories, a new way of being emerges, leading to spontaneity, choice, expansion and freedom.
Compassionate Inquiry is a trauma informed approach that weaves together a rich tapestry of neuroscience, mindfulness and somatic, relational and attachment-based psychotherapy .
“The purpose of Compassionate Inquiry is to drill down to the core stories people tell themselves – to get them to see what story they are telling themselves unconsciously; what those beliefs are, where they came from; and guide them to the possibility of letting go of those stories, or letting go of the hold those stories have on them ….”

This month Sophie and Dr Sunila are focusing on how acupuncture can support us through stressful and pressurised times...
Stress and anxiety can manifest in many ways - whether it’s racing thoughts that keep you up at night, a pounding heart, or an unsettled stomach. These feelings are your body’s way of signaling that it’s sensing danger, even if the threat isn’t immediate.
But when stress doesn’t switch off, it can feel like a pressure cooker building up inside. If left unchecked, this can lead to physical symptoms like tension headaches, digestive issues, or changes in your menstrual cycle. That’s where acupuncture can help.
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, stress and anxiety disrupt the balance of Qi (energy) in the body and scatter the “Shen,” or spirit. Acupuncture helps to restore this balance, calming the mind and reconnecting the body.
From a Western perspective, acupuncture regulates the nervous system, helping to reduce stress hormones while stimulating the production of serotonin and dopamine—the same ‘happy’ chemicals targeted by anti-anxiety medications. This makes acupuncture a truly complementary way to help you manage stress and anxiety over the long term.
At the Acupuncture Collective, Sophie and Dr. Sunila offer treatments designed to bring your body and mind back into harmony. Whether you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or simply need a way to let off steam, acupuncture could be the vent you’ve been looking for.
Needles in, stress out.
Join Sophie and Dr. Sunila at the next Acupuncture Collective and take the first step toward finding your calm.
Our next Acupuncture Collective is taking place between 2pm to 8pm on Wednesday 18th February.

Wow, a very generous donation from author Sofia Bothwell, a collection of her books focused on how addiction can manifest.
Sofia is holding a workshop, Healing the Eating Habit, at Moon on Saturday 28th February, where she'll explore the underlying causes of overeating, the emotional issues that can cause us to eat when full and the importance of raising self-acceptance.
We'll be learning more about this session in an upcoming Instagram Live (18th Feb), so you can find out more then, as well as via a link in our bio ('What's On in February').
Also, a reminder to check out our library next time you're at Moon.3 days ago
Wow, wow, wow!
What an amazing response we've had to our plea for donations towards the Women Supporting Women Fund.
Thank you to all these lovely folk who donated in January. Thanks to you, eight women were able to access the support they wanted from Moon Women's Health.
However, unfortunately the waiting list continues to grow and is three months long at the moment.
Therefore, when you're booking a session at Moon and would like to support your community, please tick the box to add an additional £3 - it all adds up!

Happy Imbolc to you all.
The mid-point between the Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox - with our backs to the cold and our faces in the sun.
Today we honour the Goddess Bridgid, who had so powerful a hold on the celtic imagination, the Catholics had to make her into a Saint. She is a Goddess of fire, healing and birth, who leads us towards Spring.
