Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine:
natural & clinically proven for over thousands of years

Chinese Medicine is a complete healthcare system validated by thousands of years of continuous clinical practice – the same acupuncture points,  medicinal herbs and lifestyle / dietary medicine that we continue to use today have been used for thousands of years.

Chinese Medicine is the original functional medicine

In addition to providing relief from symptoms, it is focused on getting to the root of the problem. As the aim of Chinese Medicine and acupuncture is to restore optimal function of the body’s various systems, it has been traditionally used for thousands of years to address a broad range of conditions – and the body of modern research “rediscovering” the knowledge held by this ancient science continues to grow.

Put simply, life (and health!) is about how well we can gain and hold charge, and how effectively our systems work with it. Chinese Medicine has a profound understanding of this. Our view of health and healing focuses greatly on Qi and its many expressions, qualities and functions within mind, body and soul. Qi is often loosely translated as “energy”, but it is so much more than that. It describes function, metabolism, processes of transformation, directions of movement… the list goes on! In our medicine, we understand that when the body is well-resourced and abundant in Qi - and when the Qi channels, or meridians - are open and harmoniously organised, vibrant health naturally follows. Here we talk about the concept of health as charge - and our ability to hold and use it effectively - and the many ways, both ancient and new, that we can charge up our Qi today. #qi #prana #chinesemedicine #holistichealing #biofield #energyhealing #emf
“Waiting to treat illness after they manifest is like waiting to dig a well after one is thirsty” Yang Sheng (養生) literally means “Nourishing Life”, and refers to the body of nutritional and lifestyle therapies that is one of the pillars of Chinese Medicine. We view Yang Sheng as the highest form of medicine, as nourishing body-mind-soul can prevent imbalance, and stop disease before it takes hold. We consider that the more resourced and resilient we are, the more smoothly we can flow with and adapt to life and its various inputs. Looking after our foundation, and ensuring that our Qi is flowing and able to clearly receive essential information, helps us to regenerate tissues in their most optimal expression. This is why the seemingly little things that we can do each day, like connecting to the earth, soaking up sunlight, drinking structured water, eating close to nature, feeling and releasing our emotions, moving our bodies, feeling connection, love, joy and gratitude, add up to make a profound difference to our health and vitality.

This is why I trust the messages of body & soul, and follow the infinite intelligence of Mama Nature in how I choose to cultivate health. Just because it’s published doesn’t necessarily mean it’s true or beneficial. It all comes out in the wash eventually, but sometimes it can take decades (or longer), and in the meantime, health can be harmed. Luckily, there is another way: tuning in to ancient medicines that have remained true and iin integrity with their central tenets for several thousands of years. The herbs, acupuncture, movement and foods we prescribe have continuously yielded results over the centuries. Anything that wasn’t helpful (or which harmed) would fall by the wayside of the passage of time. Our medicine is an embodied medicine that respects and values the individual’s experience of their being, describing it in accessible terms - like hot, cold, dragging, tight, sharp; like a “heavy belt”, or “insects crawling on skin” or like “a lump of roast meat in the throat”. In my work, I am always inviting deeper self-connection and self-trust with assessing what we need (or don’t need) and what is best for us. As we cultivate this dialogue, we get clearer and clearer insights as to what we need in each moment. You are the expert on you.
