Winter Acupuncture & Sound Bath

On Wednesday we had a brilliant Instagram Live chat with Tracy Awere from The Sankofa Birth Experience. We spoke about her offerings at Moon and beyond, including her Pregnancy Relaxation Retreats (next one this Sunday! - With 2026 dates also now available), as well as her weekly YogaBirth sessions and 1-2-1 hypnobirthing and birth preparation sessions. All of which, at their core, focus on your 'power within'. Tracy's work has recently received recognition from Future Camden Fund. This has allowed her to offer subsidised and no-cost places with all her offerings - contact Tracy to find out more. We also spoke about the most recent attack on the world of maternity care and support, led by a recent Times article by Jeremy Hunt (more on our thoughts about this shortly). It was a brilliant chat - BUT - technology failed us and the session would not upload to Instagram once we'd finished 😭😭😭 So if you'd like to find out more about Tracy, including her Pregnancy Relaxation Retreats then follow the link in our bio or check out Tracy's IG page.7 hours ago

💙 Beat the Blues this Monday 💙 The Acupuncture Collective Appointments available 2pm - 8pm (last few spots left) Monday 10th November SAD, otherwise known as seasonal affective disorder, can hit hard, as the clocks turn back in October, and the daylight fades...   What is SAD? MIND, the mental health organisation, describe SAD's symptoms as difficulty in concentrating, feeling sad, guilty or hopeless, being more prone to illnesses such as colds and infections, sleeping too long or too little and changes in hunger or sexual interest.   It is a reaction to seasonal changes in daylight, which disrupts our body clock and hormones like serotonin, which affect mood, appetite and sleep. 🌟 But here’s the good news 🌟   Acupuncture is the answer to our hormonal prayers! It helps regulate our nervous system, calming us down or energising us, depending on which points around the body are focused on. It also helps boost serotonin and melatonin, which boost our mood and help us sleep.    We can also use acupuncture to strengthen our immune system, by using points on the Lung Meridian and tonify what the ancient Chinese called Wei Qi! Go on… Google it! All that and the loving embrace of our warm, friendly group clinic...   See you on 10th November... Find out more and book via the link in our bio.1 week ago

Thank you so much to these wonderful folk, who donated to the Women Supporting Women Fund in October. Your generosity means that even more members of our community can access our offerings. However, unfortunately we currently have a waiting list for accessing this fund. So if you're able to make a donation, either when you book a treatment, class or event at Moon OR you can follow the link in our bio and make a standalone donation, it would be gratefully received. If you'd like to make use of the WSW Fund then you can also find out more via the link in our bio. See you soon.1 week ago

Today we are welcoming the darkness at Samhain/Halloween… Traditionally, in Celtic and other communities, this evening would mark the transition between the lighter half of the year and the darker half. Transitions and womanhood feel synonymous, as we travel through life, with the rhythms of our bodies. I wonder if we feel the transitions of the natural world more keenly because of this... Some believe that at this time of year the division between this world and the 'otherworld' is at its thinnest, allowing spirits to pass through. Ancestors are honoured and invited home, while harmful spirits are warded off. People wear costumes and masks, disguising themselves as harmful spirits, to ward off unwanted attention from the actual spirits. Image from the wonderfully talented @tijanadraws1 week ago
