“The art of being well”

In today’s fast paced world, we are always on the go, feeling challenged, stressed, tired, frustrated. If we don’t learn to listen to our bodies, physical and emotional health can suffer and symptoms may appear. In my clinics, I aim to help you take time out, to listen and allow you space to replenish, nourish and heal. Health concerns I have supported:
• Assisted and unas

sisted fertility
• Pregnancy related: nausea, heartburn, backpain
• Neck pain, shoulder or back pain
• Headaches and migraine
• Stress, depression and anxiety
• Shiatsu Birth Preparation Workshop for couples
• Perimenopause and Menopause support

I can assist you to better health using a unique combination of Acupuncture, Shiatsu or Massage to suit your individual needs. In my Silsden clinic, you can also access other complementary therapies such as: Reflexology, Myofascial Release Technique, Shiatsu, Indian Head Massage, Hot Stone Massage, Chakra Balancing, Cupping, Swedish Massage and Facials. You will find my two friendly and professional healthcare services in Silsden and Saltaire, West Yorkshire. Both clinics are comfortable, calm and supportive, and are within easy reach by car or public transport. I am a registered member of the Association of Acupuncture Clinicians and the British Acupuncture Federation and have been in practice since 2001.

🎊 Fantastic news for women suffering with Endometriosis! 💫💫💫

As part of a 3 year evidence gathering pilot period worldwide, two new non-invasive tests will soon be available on the NHS to test for endometriosis.

According the N.I.C.E. (National Institiute for Health and Care Excellence), there will soon be available two tests: the first, a saliva sample based test called Endotest. The second is called the Endosure test which involves sensors being placed on the abdomen, and send gentle electrical pulses through the gut.

At the moment, it can take up to 9 years for women to be diagnosed. So, once these tests are rolled out, they should help to detect endometriosis early on, so appropriate treatment decisions can be made early before the condition worsens and hopefully save patients years of pain, invasive surgery and potential reproductive difficulty.

POV
Whenever I see any female patient in my acupuncture clinic who has endometriosis, I hear the same story: they are dismissed, not heard, not taken seriously.

This needs to stop.

So, I'm also hoping that introducing these new tests will provide a golden opportunity for GP's to improve their listening skills and bedside manner as well as improving their understanding and training of menstrual cycle healthcare.

By recognising symptoms early on and referring them quickly will not only save the patient years of pain, it could improve their reproductive health earlier and save the NHS money and time too.

You can find the full N.I.C.E article link can be found in my bio.

🌅 H A P P Y ○ L I T H A

Maybe some of you got up early this morning to watch the sun rise...

I had intentions to do the same, but I've injured both big toes, so walking, outdoor swimming...(you know all the fun stuff!), is out for me at the moment, as I can't wear shoes.

So, me and my hubby sat in our garden at twilight last night and honoured it in our own way, whilst we got eaten alive by the midges. 🤣

My body clock was tuned into the sunrise though, and I kept waking at 3am, 4am and 5am. It seems our cat had tuned into my energy too, because she made sure I wasn't moving anywhere, since she sat on my chest! 😻

So, my solstice buddy and I watched the sunrise through the curtains and had lots of early morning cuddles instead. And I listened to my body and rested.

And today, I'm choosing to honour the summer solstice in a quiet gentle way with some yoga, cacao drinking, oracle cards, and journalling in the garden.

However you're choosing to celebrate the longest day of the year today (in the northern hemisphere), I hope you enjoy the height of our summer energy. It's a stunningly gorgeous day. 💚🌞🙏

✨️ Hi lovelies,
So, here I am on Thursday morning and I thought I'd share a little secret with you. 🤫

This is not a path I expected to find myself on, but it turns out the universe had other ideas. It's given me opportunity and space to let my creative energy flow...I'm currently involved in a writing project and co-authoring in part of a book!

I don't want to give too much away, as the final book won't be ready until later in the year. But I just wanted to share where I am right now. It feels so exciting and completely terrifying - I've never done anything like this before!

I'll keep the theme of the book quiet for now, but to give you a flavour of what the book will be about, I can share that I'm in an author's programme with

One cryptic clue is having the space and time to actually take part in this project in the first place! So, whilst I'm sat in my 'shala' she shed at the top of my garden writing this post, the soundtrack to the reel of birdsong is what I can hear.

So, whatever you're doing right now, I invite you to take a moment, take a breath and if you're outside, listen to see if you can hear any birdsong. It's one small moment that connects you to nature and to yourself.

See you soon. Much love,
Amanda x

You've heard a friend talking about their acupuncture experience and how it's helped them. You've never tried it yourself but have wondered about it and how it works?

Well, now's your time to try it!

I'll be offering acupuncture taster sessions at Saltaire Holistic Health Fair on Sunday 28th June. What you'll experience is a simple treatment to help you relax or to boost your energy.

I'll explain the process to you as we go and it'll be an example of what I do when I treat you in clinic and how I can work with you.

Tasters will be £30 for a 25 minute session.

As well as acupuncture, I'll also be on hand to talk to you about my other offerings, which are:

✨️ EFT - Tapping
(Emotional Freedom Technique):
A somatic method that combines modern psychology with acupressure. A simple method which involves tapping on specific body points while focusing on an emotional distress to regulate the nervous system and reduce stress and anxiety.

✨️ Menstruality Mentoring:
The power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness and how it can help you both physically and emotionally in your life. A women's health and her power is at the heart of her menstrual cycle. You can learn how to harness this power for better ease in your life and to understand yourself on a deeper level.

You can DM me if you would like to prebook your taster session with me.

See you there,
Amanda x

🎶 Last night I witnessed and took part in my friend's first public kirtan at 💚

Traditionally, kirtan originates from Indian religions. It's a call for people to gather in community to chant sacred sanskrit mantras.

This practice helps us to deepen our spiritual and communal connection to ourselves and the universal energy of which we are all connected to. (Whilst that is my own spiritual interpretation and language, I extend that idea with respect to whatever that looks like for you in your personal belief or religious system.)

Kirtan is a beautiful experience; singing opens and raises your Lung and Heart Qi and your Shen (consciousness in tcm terms). It brings the light from your heart into your eyes. When we connect with that joy in ourselves, others see and feel it too and it raises both your vibrational frequencies.

Emma, who is will be doing more kirtans along Aire Valley from Skipton to Keighley to Bingley. I'm so excited for her in this new journey! 🙏🥰

✨️ Here's a little reminder of our gorgeous little clinic above in Silsden...

Lovely, isn't it?

I thank my lucky stars every time I step into this beautiful peaceful haven, cosy in one of the oldest buildings in town. 💚

I now have some availibility for some new patients in June. Whilst I treat most health conditions with acupuncture, I specialise in women's health. This might look like:
💫 Working with menstrual cycles
💫 Menstrual cycle awareness work
💫 Menstrual cycle issues like PCOS (or PMOS as it os now known - Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome)
💫 Fertility and pregnancy
💫 Perimenopause and menopause

I might combine some of my other therapies into my Acupuncture sessions, like EFT (tapping), Shiatsu, Massage or Reiki.

If any of this sings to you, PM me for more information or to book in.
