Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient, safe system of healing
Practiced in the Far East for thousands of years it has been refined, through centuries of experience, into the model that is practiced today.
It has recently become more recognised in the West, and has been used traditionally in China to treat the whole range of health issues from fertility, pregnancy and children´s illnesses, to back pain, allergies and depression. Acupuncture was also used for its cosmetic benefits.
What does Acupuncture feel like?
Acupuncture needles are very fine and feel nothing like an injection. Patients have described the feeling as being like a numbness or tingling sensation, and sometimes limbs can feel heavy. Most people find treatment very relaxing and often fall asleep.
What Happens when I Book an Appointment?
During the first appointment a full consultation will be taken, and you will be asked questions about your main complaint, as well as questions about your past medical history, lifestyle, diet and emotions. You will also be asked to show your tongue and your pulse will be taken. All this information will help our acupuncturists to make a full diagnosis and give you an individually tailored treatment
How many treatments will I need?
You will be able to discuss this in more detail after the first consultation, but usually you have 3 treatments and then review it. If you are in pain it is quite easy to see if it is working for you. For something like fertility it takes longer to see a result and initially you will notice things like better sleep, digestion or a more regular cycle. If you have a chronic condition it may take longer to treat. Acupuncture can be combined with Tui Na massage, which is a form of massage that is based on the same principles as acupuncture. It can also be used alongside herbs, cupping and gua sha.
“I had an acupuncture session with Tara last month, I found Tara so knowledgeable about the symptoms I was experiencing and I really feel that the treatment helped my morning sickness as I didnt feel sick for almost a week afterwards, it was really powerful for me! Thank you so much Tara, I would highly recommend. 💛🙏”
“Booked an hour acupuncture session with Lucie to deal with work related back and shoulder pain. Lucie is a bit of a magician and after one session the pain had dissipated massively. I was also given easy practical advice to help prevent further flare ups which could easily be fitted into my work day. Will be booking again for a further session and would highly recommend to others.”
“Jadelin has been an amazing help for my neck pain and stomach issues related to stress. He always listens to my needs and creates a bespoke treatment to help alleviate pain. I highly recommend him for massage, cupping and acupuncture.”
“I came to see Lucie at a very vulnerable time in my life when grief was negatively impacting my health and energy levels. Her focus on long term healing and teaching strategies for me to implement outside of the appointment times, were far more useful than what would have come from a short term treatment aproach. Thank you Lucie!”
“A belated big thank you to my new neighbour Healing Space and Jadelin for giving me a very last minute evening appointment when I had sudden significant rib/back pain (definitely connected to this growing baby inside me!)...I woke up the next day with the pain gone :)”
“I’ve gone to Lucie multiple times for acupuncture and it’s truly an amazing experience . She’s so sweet and caring and always tailors the experience to your individual needs. We always end up having lots of interesting conversations and laughs too, which is a plus!”
“Went here for this first time and Jadelin was very helpful - he listened to my needs and then worked his magic blissfully.”
