​​Acupuncture works with the whole body - nervous system, circulation, immune system, hormones and energy levels. This makes it especially useful for symptoms that feel intertwined or not fully understood.

 

Here’s how it helps:

• Regulates the nervous system
  Helpful for stress-related symptoms, tension, headaches and sleep problems.

• Improves circulation and reduces inflammation
  Supports healing, mobility and recovery after illness or injury.

• Strengthens immunity
  Useful for people who pick up colds easily, feel run-down often, or have lingering post-viral symptoms.

• Supports recovery after illness
  Including long COVID, exhaustion, and post-viral fatigue.

• Balances internal systems
  Helpful for dizziness, sinus issues, tinnitus and general imbalance.

• Promotes restorative rest
  The deep relaxation during treatment helps many chronic symptoms ease naturally.

Many clients come for one concern and find improvements in others they weren’t expecting - digestion, sleep, mood, energy and overall wellbeing.

Why Work With Me for These Types of Conditions?

• Broad clinical experience
  I regularly treat people with complex, overlapping symptoms where stress, lifestyle, immunity and tension all play a role.

• Whole-person perspective
  We look at how your symptoms connect — digestion, sleep, mood, stress, energy and physical tension all interact.

• Relaxed, non-judgemental space
  You can talk openly about what’s going on without feeling rushed or dismissed.

• Gentle, tailored treatment
  Each session is adapted to how your body feels that day, especially if symptoms are fluctuating.

Many people come as a “last resort” and wish they’d tried acupuncture sooner.

​

What to Expect from a Session

1. A thorough conversation

We talk through your symptoms, how long you’ve had them, what helps, what makes them worse, and how they affect your day-to-day life.

2. A clear plan

I’ll explain how acupuncture may help your specific symptoms and outline a realistic treatment plan.

3. A calming treatment

Gentle acupuncture points are chosen to support the systems involved — nervous system, circulation, immunity, digestion or recovery.

4. Ongoing support

We review how things shift over time and adjust your treatment as needed.

Clients often report better sleep, improved mood, more stable energy and fewer flare-ups.

FAQs – Acupuncture for General & “Other” Conditions

Can acupuncture help if my symptoms don’t fit a clear diagnosis?
Yes. Acupuncture doesn’t rely on Western diagnostic categories. It can often help when symptoms feel vague or unexplained.

Is acupuncture safe if I have a complex condition?
Yes. Treatments are always adapted to your health needs and used alongside medical care.

How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the condition and how long you’ve had it. Some things shift quickly, others take longer.

Can I come even if I’m not feeling at my best?
Absolutely — many people feel worse on their difficult days, and acupuncture can help settle things.

Will it interfere with medication?
No. Acupuncture works safely alongside your GP or specialist care.
