Where do we begin?
We begin with what's happening in your life and how it might be affecting you. Our health is connected to how we live, think, feel and respond to the world around us. Rather than getting caught up in explanations, we'll explore what you're actually experiencing in your body, right now. What can you feel in your chest, your gut, your torso? Where are you holding tension? Not what you think is happening, but what you can actually feel.
What happens in a session?
Each appointment lasts 60 minutes and combines conversation, exploring what you're experiencing in your body, and acupuncture. We'll use what we've discovered together to guide the treatment. I'll take your pulse, then you'll lie down for acupuncture, sometimes alongside other gentle techniques. Throughout the session, I'll pay attention to how you're responding and adapt the treatment accordingly. There's no fixed formula. We work with what's happening for you.
An opportunity for change
Sometimes we get stuck in familiar ways of thinking, feeling and responding to the world. We go around in circles, and things can begin to feel fixed. Acupuncture offers an opportunity to interrupt those patterns, to make a little space and see what happens. And perhaps, when we stop trying quite so hard to change things, something begins to shift on its own.
People who come to see me often describe feeling more comfortable in themselves, less caught up in their difficulties and better able to get on with their lives.
