What To Expect
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy in which very fine needles are inserted into specific points in the body with the aim of restoring balance. We now know that acupuncture works by triggering the body's healing response, calming the nervous system, regulating hormones and releasing endorphins.
I believe our bodies know how to heal themselves, acupuncture helps to point you in the right direction and remove any blockages!
What does acupuncture treat?
It's probably easier to say what it doesn't treat! Acupuncture is a fabulous therapy for a wide range of conditions, because it relaxes the nervous systems, reduces inflammation, boosts blood flow and balances hormones, it can treat so much!

“Amazing, really helped with my menopause symptoms including the dreaded hot flushes. I can't recommend Rebecca highly enough"
John, Leeds
I've been amazed how effective the treatments have been! After my first treatment I was able to walk without pain for the first time in as long as I can remember! I was sceptical at first but after each treatment I walk out with a spring in my step. I'm so glad I gave acupuncture a try!
Claire, Otley
"I feel so much calmer and less overwhelmed, I feel like myself again and I'm sleeping better than I have in years!"

Your first appointment will involve a deep dive into your health and well-being and will include traditional Chinese medicine pulse and tongue diagnosis. We'll explain the treatment and how many sessions you're likely to need (we usually suggest to start with 3-6 depending on what brings you for treatment). You'll have the chance to ask any questions and then we'll get started with a treatment.
