Winter is ideally a time for slowing down, nourishing ourselves, and cherishing the small joys of the season.
However, the holiday season can be a stressful time, especially when balancing family, work, and social obligations.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), winter is associated with the Water Element, which is linked to our kidneys. Energetically, they store our essence as human beings and govern longevity. During winter, the kidneys become more vulnerable, especially due to the cold weather.
But how can we protect our kidneys and hearts from the frenetic energy of the festive season?
Find Sophie and Dr Sunila next Monday at the haven of the Acupuncture Collective, where you can find refuge from that external chaos.
They will help you see out your year peacefully, as we close the chapter of 2024 and open the chapter of 2025.
Our next Acupuncture Collective is taking place between 2pm to 8pm on Monday 16th December.
But what exactly is the Acupuncture Collective?
You'll have a 15 minute 1:1 consultation with Dr Sunila or Sophie, in the privacy of our treatment room.
Then move into our zen group area, with 3 beds separated by curtains, for 30 minutes of treatment. The group setting enhances calming energy and you'll leave in a state of harmony.
Your investment: 45 minutes at £50.
See you then.
