Working as a health professional over the last 30 years, in nursing and health visiting, and as a mother of three daughters, I have seen time and again how beautifully alternative therapies can complement conventional medicine for improved health and wellbeing.

And it was in my early days as an accident and emergency nurse all those years ago, that I was struck by the importance and healing power of touch.

Every day I witnessed how human connection – and specifically human connection through touch – had the power to accelerate healing in ways that was difficult to achieve through medical intervention alone.

And it’s on the back of these early experiences, that years later I decided to formalise my training in a variety of therapeutic techniques including Thai Yoga Massage, Holistic Massage, Craniosacral Therapy and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction.

I now work with clients of all ages, using a variety of techniques to maximise vitality and to create a space in which the body can best thrive.

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.
