Acupuncture is one of the key therapies within Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) — a gentle, time-honoured practice that helps restore balance, relieve pain, and support the body’s natural ability to heal.

Using fine, sterile needles placed at specific points on the body, acupuncture works to release energy blockages, improve circulation, and bring the flow of Qi (life force energy) back into harmony. It’s a deeply calming experience that supports physical, emotional and energetic wellbeing.

How Acupuncture Works.

In TCM, good health depends on the smooth flow of Qi through the body’s energy pathways, known as meridians. When this flow becomes disrupted or unbalanced, pain, tension or illness can arise.

Acupuncture helps restore that balance — easing muscle tension, calming the nervous system, and inviting the body into a state of deep relaxation and repair. Most people find the treatment soothing, with only a light tingling or warmth as the energy shifts and settles.

Benefits of Acupuncture.

Acupuncture is widely used to help with a variety of conditions, while also improving overall vitality and wellbeing. It may assist with:

• Stress, anxiety and fatigue

• Back, neck and shoulder pain

• Headaches and migraines

• Hormonal and menstrual imbalances

• Digestive or respiratory issues

• Allergies and sinus problems

• Sleep disturbances

• Muscle tension and recovery

• Emotional balance and clarity

Many people also choose acupuncture as part of their regular self-care — a way to maintain balance, prevent illness and support ongoing wellness.

What to Expect.

Your first session includes a general consultation to understand your health background, lifestyle and areas of imbalance. You’ll then relax comfortably while fine needles are placed at selected points to support the natural flow of energy.

Sessions typically last 30–45 minutes, leaving you with a sense of calm and renewed balance. Depending on your needs, a short course of treatments may be recommended for lasting results.

Safe, natural and deeply restorative — acupuncture helps reconnect you with your body’s own rhythm, guiding you back to balance and wellbeing.
