Treatments

Acupuncture is an ancient system of Chinese Medicine. According to traditional Chinese philosophy, our health is dependent on the body's motivating energy - known as qi - moving in a smooth and balanced way through a series of meridians (channels) beneath the skin.

The flow of qi can be disturbed by many physical, mental and emotional factors. By inserting very fine needles into the channels of energy, acupuncture can stimulate the body's own healing response and help to restore its natural balance.

Alongside traditional acupuncture, treatment incorporates Chinese massage, moxibustion and cupping therapy which she studied at the renowned College of Integrated Chinese Medicine (CICM). For more information on the CICM training see their website at http://www.acupuncturecollege.org.uk/.

Emily also practices Reiki. A subtle yet powerful system of healing which facilitates deep relaxation and can promote and support acupuncture treatment.

Testimonials

‘I have been having treatment with Emily over the last 9 months and have found the treatment and sessions extremely beneficial. I first went to Emily for help with an ongoing leg pain and lately to help with fertility and now to support me through pregnancy. The acupuncture has helped on both the physical and emotional level. Since having acupuncture with Emily I feel more balanced emotionally and have most definitely benefited physically from the sessions. I always feel Emily is totally focussed on the treatment and spends time out of our sessions researching the appropriate treatment plan to suit me – I really feel Emily gives her all to our sessions. I find the sessions are also a great space to relax and take some time out’
