Sessions offered:

With over twenty five years of supporting women through the journey of pregnancy & birth into motherhood. I developed my approach under the umbrella of the Active Birth Centre which I ran as co-director for many years alongside Janet Balaskas.

I support women through an embodied approach that includes awareness not only of our physical body but also our emotional, spiritual & mental wellbeing as each element effects the others. Sensing into your physical and emotional inner landscape in an enquiring and curious way, can be truly transformational. You can let go of habits that no longer serve you and find new pathways with a movement practice, that awakens your body awareness, as a tool for healing.

Alongside this I also offer birth debrief sessions which can include Traumatic Birth Recovery 3 Step Rewind as well as one-to-one coaching for mothers, my Motherhood Mentoring packages which support you on your ongoing journey of motherhood. Movement & breath are often part of these sessions depending on the differing needs of each woman. All my sessions our available over Zoom or in clinic.

I also offer enrichment trainings and mentoring to all practitioners who work with new mothers. My Mother Nurture’ training focuses on the all-important ‘fourth trimester’. If you want to know more do contact me.

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.
