5 Element Acupuncture
A traditional treatment for a modern world
I offer a free 15 minute consultation before you book your first treatment.
Acupuncture has been used successfully for thousands of years and remains as relevant to today’s society as it was to earlier cultures. Any illness or symptom is a result of an imbalance in your vital energy, or life-force.
Treatment involves the gentle placing of exceptionally fine, sterilised, disposable needles into acupuncture points located just beneath the surface of the skin. This stimulates the body’s natural ability to heal itself and equilibrium is restored. As a result, health improves on all levels: physical, mental and emotional.
This principal is fundamental because it means the underlying cause of illness is dealt with rather than just your symptoms, which are a sign of distress at a deeper level.
5 Element acupuncture in particular is often comparatively minimal in terms of the number of needles used leading to potentially significant results.
The first appointment includes a detailed consultation, including previous health history, and a treatment. Follow-up sessions assess progress since the previous visit and a further treatment.

The Bowen Technique
I offer a free 15 minute consultation before you book your first treatment.
The Bowen Technique was developed by Australian Tom Bowen (1916 – 1982). His intuition led him to recognise that given the opportunity the body can heal itself.
Treatment can be applied through light, loose-fitting clothing.
A series of light, rolling moves over specific locations initiate the body’s natural healing process. As muscle tension reduces, energy is released, blood and lymph flow more easily and neural pathways communicate more effectively. Less (treatment) and potentially more (response) is so much a part of Bowen’s success.
The subtlety of Bowen is its strength. People often have Bowen treatment for musculo-skeletal complaints such as back, neck, limb or joint pain, sports injuries or poor posture.
In addition, respiratory conditions, headaches, fatigue, poor sleep and stress have also responded well to treatment.
Whilst it is important to address specific complaints the Bowen Technique treats the whole person so overall health and well-being improve too.
The Bowen Technique is non-invasive and no force is used. It is generally suitable for all ages and states of health; from the new-born to the elderly, for a baby with colic or for someone who is confined to their bed.
