Acupuncture

Traditional acupuncture is a healthcare system based on ancient principles which go back nearly two thousand years. It has a very positive model of good health and function which looks at pain and illness as signs that the body is out of balance. The overall aim of acupuncture treatment is to restore the body's equilibrium.

Acupuncture can be used to diagnose and improve many conditions. Acupuncture regulates the flow of Qi around the body through pathways called meridians. This ancient medical system focuses on the overall health of the individual rather than the treatment of a specific disease, with sessions being tailored towards a patient’s detailed history, place of birth and how the condition they have been diagnosed with is manifesting from a Traditional Chinese Medical perspective.

Acupuncture works to help maintain your body's equilibrium. It involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body to regulate the flow of 'qi', your body's vital energy. For a number of lifestyle and environmental reasons, qi can become disturbed, depleted or blocked, which can result in some symptoms of pain and illness. In certain instances, traditional acupuncture can be an effective therapy to help restore balance and promote physical and emotional harmony.

Treatment is aimed at the root of your condition as well as your main symptoms. This approach helps with resolving your problem and enhancing your feeling of wellbeing.
You may notice other niggling problems resolve as your main health complaint improves.

Acupuncture originated in China and other far eastern cultures where it still features in mainstream healthcare, both as a stand-alone therapy and in combination with conventional western medicine. Acupuncture is now widely used and accepted all over the world. In the UK more and more people are finding out what acupuncture can do for them.

Craniosacral therapy is a subtle and profound healing form.In a typical craniosacral session, you will usually lie fully-clothed on a treatment couch. The therapist will make contact by placing their hands lightly on your body and tuning in.It developed from an American osteopath, Dr William Sutherland in the early 1900s. He discovered intrinsic movements of the bones in the head and his further research revealed different rhythms in the body. He inferred, from further observation, and later went on to demonstrate to his satisfaction, that these movements are inextricably linked with mental and emotional health and that restriction of these movements corresponds to a reduction of the natural capacity to self-heal.Craniosacral therapy has developed from clinical experience, which shows that health is something active and not just an absence of disease. Health is the expression of life, responsible for the organisation of the millions of things that are constantly happening in the body.

Crainosacral Therapy is a deeply profound therapy. It is so gentle that it is suitable for new born babies, children and the elderly. It works on every level, subtly promoting the interconnectedness of mind, body and spirit. The therapist ‘listens’ via the hands to the body’s natural rhythms and mind/body intelligence, assisting in its innate ability to correct imbalances. Encouraging the body (with specific light pressure) to realign it’s self and to fully reclaim it’s vitality.

This is a gentle non-evasive treatment that is ideal for the treatment of babies, helping them to adjust to their new environment and recover from the shock of birth. Most babies suffer a degree of shock during labour, particularly after difficult, long labours and emergency caesareans. Craninosacral Therapy can help babies recover from traumatic experiences by encouraging the new born to reconnect to it’s body’s intelligence and experience a ‘safe’ space to release any stress and trauma enabling them to begin a trusting relationship with their Mothers and the world around them.

Craniosacral Therapy is a powerful therapy with huge benefits for both Mother and Baby. Many mothers have found it to be highly effective at helping them adjust physically and emotionally through the changes that pregnancy brings and in the preparation for the labour itself.
 
Many symptoms experienced by babies can be the direct result of disharmony during pregnancy, labour and delivery.

Unresponsive baby
Poor sleep

Naturopathy (naturopathic medicine) is a system of treatment and healthcare that supports the body’s innate ability to heal itself through nutrition, exercise and life-style advice.  It is a holistic system which believes that good health is not the same as the absence of disease and that promoting a general state of wellbeing through dietary principles, lifestyle, exercise and other techniques is an effective way to manage our physiological systems.  Naturopathy may be beneficial for a wide range of acute or chronic conditions as well as a general practice for living well.  It draws on a wide range of therapeutic disciplines – known as “modalities” – and may help to avoid surgery and excessive medication.  A naturopath will instead use gentle techniques to seek to bring a patient back to his or her state of health.
