Lyn Breakwell
Treatments offered:
With over a decade practising bodywork I have developed an intuitive understanding of what each person needs to improve their well being or relieve their pain.
This is my passion and with ongoing training I constantly deepen my knowledge of the body and increase the variety of treatments I can draw on to help people move more freely, feel more energised and relaxed, and enjoy life more fully. I am a great believer in developing my skills and have trained with some of the top practitioners in her specialist areas. Experts such as Art Riggs (remedial and deep tissue massage), Noah Karrasch (bodyworker), Ruth Duncan, Tom Myers and James Earles (myofascial release).
I love a challenge, and many clients get referred to me to give them another angle on a problem that proves difficult to treat.
Five things that define my approach:
- Maintaining wellness is as important as treating injury.
- Giving the right treatment depends on listening carefully with the ears and with the hands.
- The body and mind are one - helping people make connections between physical and emotional pain is vital to their long-term well being.
- Search beyond the obvious for the source of pain, for example, a problem in the right shoulder can have its source in the left hip.
Specialist areas
- Maintaining and improving people's general wellbeing
- Relieving and preventing recurrence of stress-related pain
- Healing chronic and acute sports and other injuries
- Relieving and preventing recurrence of a wide range of posture-related problems
- Alleviating pain and enabling movement in people with conditions such as fibromyalgia

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.
