According to Chinese philosophy, our health is dependent on the body’s motivating energy, known as Qi, moving in a smooth and balanced way through a series of channels. The flow of Qi can be disturbed by a number of factors. These include emotional states such as anxiety, stress, anger, fear or grief, poor nutrition, weather conditions, hereditary factors, infections, toxins and trauma.
Conditions treated include
Pregnancy/Natural Induction/Fertility
Because acupuncture is a beneficial therapy for pregnant women when labour is delayed, we have developed good relationships with local midwives who have been sending women here for natural inductions. A chemical induction is more likely to lead to intervention. Our acupuncture team can help to start labour naturally and gently.
Treatment of Children
Vera has completed a course in Obstetrics with Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine incorporating massage techniques.
