Five-Element Acupuncture is one of the oldest forms of medicine thought to have originated around 4000-5000 years ago in China.

​

The Chinese observed that everything in the nature (including us!) is made of the five elements; wood, fire, water, earth and metal. These elements must be in balance in order for us to be well. We each have all five elements within us, but at the core of Five-Element acupuncture is the belief that each of us has one particular element which is the root cause of any imbalance. If this element is supported, we can return to our best self and any physical or emotional symptoms will begin to improve.

 

It is understood by acupuncture practitioners that physical symptoms are often the result of emotional or spiritual distress. Simply treating a symptom is much like silencing an alarm that is telling us something is wrong. There may be an immediate impact, however it will not ultimately result in a patient returning to good health as the symptoms will return. Therefore we aim to find the root cause of the symptom that is being experienced and help to resolve it.

I work primarily with patients looking for help with;

• Fertility

• IVF support

• Hormonal imbalances

• Menstrual cycle issues

• Menopausal symptoms

• Anxiety and stress

• Migraines

​

Acupuncture works wonderfully as a preventative medicine. Just as we know that eating a healthy diet and taking regular exercise can prevent us from becoming unwell, receiving regular acupuncture can keep us balanced and support a healthy lifestyle.
