What I love about it is its range. It's dynamic enough to make a real difference with acute conditions - the sudden, sharp stuff - and gentle enough to be exactly right for longstanding, chronic conditions that need patience rather than force. Few treatments genuinely work at both ends of that spectrum.

​

And you don't need to be unwell to benefit. This is true of most holistic treatments, but acupuncture especially — it's not just a tool for fixing something that's gone wrong, it's a tool for maintaining wellbeing before anything does. Some of my longest-standing clients come in when nothing's "wrong" at all, simply because it keeps them well.

​

It's also far gentler than people expect. The needles used are super-fine — most people are surprised by how little they feel, if anything at all.

​

What it can help with:

​

• Pain - back pain, migraines, arthritis, and other chronic pain, whether it's flared up suddenly or been with you for years

• Sleep - genuinely one of the areas I see the most consistent results in

• Fertility - often used alongside natural conception efforts or IVF

• Stress and anxiety - a calming, hands-off way to properly unwind

• Allergies and sinus issues - I've had real success with this myself as a lifelong allergy sufferer whose sinus problems have only got more stubborn with age. I've even treated myself for it. It's one of the areas I'm most passionate about, because I know exactly what it's like to live with it.

• Digestion - including IBS and general digestive discomfort

• General maintenance - for anyone who wants to stay well, not just get well.

Sessions take place at my clinic room in Helston, or I can visit you at home.
