What to Expect During Your Visit
I run my clinic from home, located in the peaceful residential area of Talbot Woods, Bournemouth, providing a calm and comfortable space for your treatments.
It’s best to wear loose clothing that provides easy access to areas like the lower legs and arms. Ideally, have a light snack about 1 hour before your treatment.
Each session begins with a consultation to discuss your health concerns and progress, followed by a 30-minute relaxing acupuncture treatment. With your consent, we may incorporate additional techniques to enhance your treatment, such as:
Electroacupuncture
Moxibustion
Fire Cupping
Infrared Heat Lamp
Gua Sha (massage)
I can also offer personalised dietary and lifestyle suggestions to help support your acupuncture treatment results.
ElectroAcupuncture
Electroacupuncture enhances traditional acupuncture by applying a gentle electrical current to the needles. This stimulates the acupuncture points more effectively, helping to reduce pain, improve circulation, and promote healing. It’s a safe, painless technique often used for musculoskeletal issues.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion involves burning dried herb -mugwort (Artemisia argyi) - near the skin to gently warm acupuncture points. In TCM, it is primarily considered tonifying, helping to boost energy (Qi) and invigorate the body. This technique is especially beneficial for conditions related to cold, weakness, or deficiency, such as fatigue, digestive issues, or chronic pain. Moxibustion has been scientifically proven to enhance white blood cell production, thereby strengthening the immune system.
Fire Cupping
Fire Cupping involves placing heated glass cups on the skin to create a vacuum. This suction stimulates blood flow, releases tension, and promotes healing by drawing toxins and stagnation out of the body. It is commonly used to treat muscle pain, improve circulation, and address respiratory issues such as colds.
