Hi! I’m Anna, and I’m so glad you’re here :-)

I live in Muswell Hill, North London with my husband and our 2 children.

Having worked with babies, toddlers, and preschoolers for a long time, and managing a nursery setting; it was always clear to me how much these early years mattered.

Watching how much they grow and change in the first few weeks and months, and understanding how important the attachments they have and the experiences they go through always fascinated me.

However, until I became a mum myself, I had no idea of the huge transformational experience that pregnancy, birth, and parenthood can bring. The importance of ‘mothering the mother’, and holding new parents in as much love and support as we desire to give new babies, suddenly became very clear to me.

With the amount of conflicting information and unnecessary stress and guilt out there, I knew I wanted to empower expecting and new parents make sense of it all, and find their own confidence.

I have done extensive training as a birth doula, an antenatal educator, a hypnobirthing teacher, a postnatal and breastfeeding counsellor, a first aid trainer, a baby massage instructor, a sleep coach and more! I never stop learning and growing, finding new ways to help and support parents in this incredible new phase of life.

Taking strong evidence based information in to account, whilst helping people work out how that applies to their specific and individual circumstances, is an important feature of how I work.

Being married to a paediatrician, we regularly despaired at the lack of support and information given to parents, and often discussed how a few small changes could make such a huge difference. Together we also now offer our Child Health Information Classes (CHIC) to help avoid pointless trips to GPs and A&E, instead empowering parents with up to date health knowledge.

As a mum of a baby and toddler myself, my experiences are all very recent, so I can promise to give up-to-date and relevant information. I can empathise and understand what it’s like, whilst also respecting everyone’s unique circumstances and supporting you in whatever way you need.

I feel so honoured to be part of so many people’s journey and would love to hear from you, to help make this transformational time as amazing as it can be x

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.
