May is Mental Health Awareness Month

Taking care of our mental wellbeing is super important. Acupuncture can really help with mental health by soothing the nervous system, lowering stress hormones like cortisol.

Treatment encourages the release of feel-good chemicals like serotonin and endorphins helping with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.

Stress happens when life gets overwhelming for young people and adults.

Young people might feel pressure from school or major life changes. For adults this might be work or relationship pressures.

Self-care is all about making a conscious effort to take steps that maintain, restore, and enhance your physical, mental, and emotional health.

I’m delighted to share that I’ve recently completed the “Art of Shonishin” course with the inspiring Thomas Wernicke.

Shonishin is a specialised, non-invasive Japanese paediatric acupuncture technique suitable for children from infancy through adolescence.

Using small, purpose-designed tools, it involves gentle tapping, stroking, and rubbing of the skin to stimulate the body’s energetic systems. This approach can support a range of conditions, including eczema, colic, sleep disturbances, allergies, and asthma, while also helping to strengthen the immune system and promote calm.

Thomas, alongside his wife and teaching partner Karin, travelled from Germany to the UK to share their deep knowledge and experience of this beautifully gentle method of treating children.

I’m proud to now be a Certified Shonishin Acupuncturist, with certification recognised by the Japanese Society for Paediatric Acupuncture.

Acupuncture for New Parents

In the past 18 months, my circle of friends has celebrated the arrival of 6 new babies. As a result, I've had a lot of conversations about how acupuncture treatment can help support new parents, body, mind and spirit.

Benefits for new parents:

Emotional & Mental Well-being
Acupuncture can help reduce symptoms of postpartum depression and anxiety by regulating neurotransmitters and releasing endorphins.

Physical Recovery
It can aid in the healing of the body after birth by reducing pain, improving blood flow, and replenishing lost energy.

Breastfeeding Support:
The practice may help stimulate milk production and reduce issues like mastitis by interacting with the nervous and endocrine systems.

Improved Sleep:
Acupuncture can help regulate the sleep-wake cycle and promote relaxation, leading to more restful sleep.

Self-Care:
The treatment provides a dedicated time and space for new parents to focus on themselves amidst the demands of a newborn.

In Chinese astrology, the Horse represents freedom, momentum, and independence.

Because the Horse is naturally a "fire" sign, its pairing with the Fire element—known as a "double fire" year—intensifies these qualities to their most extreme.

Happy Lunar New Year everyone x

Fast Facts About Acupuncture

Over 300 Points
There are over 300, sometimes cited as over 2,000, acupuncture points on the body connected by meridians (channels/energy pathways).

Diagnostic Techniques
Practitioners often use pulse diagnosis and tongue examination to diagnose imbalances.

Global Usage
According to the World Health Organisation, acupuncture is used in 103 countries.

Not Just for Pain
Beyond pain (back, neck, knee), it is used for many acute and chronic health issues including depression, insomnia, and nausea from chemotherapy.

The "Hair" Thinness
Modern needles are flexible, sterile, and as thin as a human hair, causing little to no pain.

Neuroscience Basis
Modern research indicates acupuncture can stimulate nerves, release pain-relieving endorphins, and affect neuroanatomy to reduce inflammation, including cytokine storms.
