An imbalance whether it is physical, mental, emotional or spiritual can arise for many reasons with the end result creating a sense of unhappiness, illness or disease. As an acupuncturist, I will establish why ill health has occurred by identifying the cause and treating it directly, rather than only treating the symptoms. This is why I have found that treating clients with acupuncture has proven to be so successful.

As an acupuncturist I believe strongly that the treatment process is multi-dimensional. Within this I recognise that there are many factors which can also impact upon your health which you may not always be aware of. In such instances, when there are other factors that appear to be having a detrimental effect upon your health I am often able to guide or advise you on ways in which you can bring about changes to help you to re-establish your health and well-being. Also, due to the way in which I treat and the discussions that take place during the consultation and subsequent treatments, it is not uncommon for you as a client to gain a deeper insight into why you are unwell. This can often empower you to be able to make small but significant changes to aid your recovery. Such a positive and open approach with treatment, I have found, often results in less treatment being required and a faster and more sustained recovery.

During the consultation and treatment process the most important person to me is you, the client, and although I know that acupuncture is an incredible powerful system of healing, I also acknowledge that in some cases it may not be the most appropriate therapy for you. If I feel this is the case I will not hesitate in referring you to someone who may be more able to treat your condition/complaint, such as your GP or perhaps an osteopath, homeopath, physiotherapist or counsellor etc.
