Acupuncture - For Womens' Health

Goodness me, us women are really just left to deal with it when it comes to our emotional health & our cycle; either being offered anti-depressants or hormonal contraception, which both come with those unwanted side effects! There is another way, we start with calming your nervous system with acupuncture & traditional chinese medicine and watch the magic happen!

Utilising a holistic approach includes taking care of your nutrition and sleep.

I won't throw a diet plan at you but rather empower you with researched information that you can start to utilise between sessions at my acupuncture clinics and moving forward.

The time of our life when we go 'oh my god what is happening to me?' Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture can help you transition, by calming the debilitation symptoms that come with this change in our life. Your changing hormones make you less able to cope with stress and one of the most stress relieving things you can do is take some time out purely for yourself.

Theoretically, there's only a small window of opportunity when women can get pregnant, and that is the time around ovulation. It's difficult to pinpoint exactly when ovulation happens but it should happen around 10 to 16 days before the next period.

Many women are looking to come off contraception but find that they struggle with their periods. Using a holistic approach, together we can make your cycle a calmer time, whilst you take control over your own fertility.

Did you know that a period should be relatively pain free and you should not be doubled over in pain? In the West we're told this is ok - 'normal' - and to take a pain killer. 

But it is not 'normal'.

A study conducted by researchers from Western Sydney University and the University of Auckland has shown that acupuncture for pain relief significantly reduces period pain intensity, duration & symptoms over time, with improvements being sustained up to a year after treatment.
