The Wood element 木 governs the Liver and Gallbladder. Its job is to keep qi moving freely through the body — smoothly, evenly, in all directions. When Wood energy flows well, we feel flexible, decisive, able to grow and adapt. When it stagnates, we feel it as frustration, irritability, tension — the classic signs of what practitioners call Liver qi stagnation.

Trees embody the balance perfectly: deeply rooted, yet never rigid. They bend in the wind without breaking, and they never stop reaching upward. That’s the quality Wood asks us to cultivate.

So when life feels stuck, time among trees is more than a nice walk — it’s spending time with the element that knows how to flow. The forest has been prescribing this for longer than any of us 🌿

Two pregnancy treatments, and what stayed with her was feeling more in control. 🤍

That’s often what people tell me matters most — not just the symptom easing, but feeling steadier in your own body while it changes.

I offer acupuncture through pregnancy, and for women trying to conceive, at both my Totnes and Dartington clinics. If you’re curious, there’s a free 15-minute phone chat — no pressure, just answers. Link in bio.

With thanks to my lovely patient for her kind words. 🌿

Thinking about trying acupuncture but not sure how to choose a practitioner? 🍵 Three questions worth asking before you book:

1️⃣ Are they registered with the British Acupuncture Council? BAcC membership means degree-level training, strict hygiene and safety standards, and full insurance.

2️⃣ Do they have training in your specific concern? If you’re coming for fertility, pregnancy or women’s health, ask about postgraduate training in that area — it matters.

3️⃣ Can you talk to them before committing? You should never have to book blind. A good practitioner will happily answer your questions first.

I’m a BAcC-registered acupuncturist with a postgraduate diploma in gynaecology, fertility and obstetrics, and I offer a free 15-minute phone chat before you ever book — so you can ask me all three. 📍 Totnes & Dartington · link in bio

This is one of the most common questions I get, and the honest answer is: it depends.

Every person is different, which means every treatment plan is too. The number of sessions you’ll need is influenced by factors such as:

✨ How long you’ve had the condition
✨ Whether it’s acute or chronic
✨ Your overall health and lifestyle
✨ Your treatment goals

Some people notice positive changes after just 1–2 sessions, particularly with recent injuries or acute issues. Longer-standing or more complex conditions often respond best to a series of treatments, allowing your body time to heal and adapt.

At your first appointment, I’ll take the time to understand your health history, discuss your symptoms and goals, and create a personalised treatment plan that’s right for you. I’ll also review your progress along the way and adjust your plan as needed.

My goal is always to provide the right amount of treatment to help you feel your best—no more, no less.

Have questions about whether acupuncture could help you? Feel free to send me a message or ask at your next appointment. 💚
