A lovely testamonial from one of my previous patients who came for Acupuncture support during an IVF cycle. If you want to read more, visit my website or check out my Google reviews. It will give you a better indication of what it is like to work with me. Thanks, Catherine 😊

One of the common complaints I see in clinic is shoulder pain. There are many causes of shoulder and Acupuncture can be a great treatment option for many of them.

Fine sterile needles are inserted into certain points in the shoulder, arm and sometimes legs to help.

This can increase blood flow to the area, reduce the pain by releasing natural endorphins and target areas of stagnation in the muscles and surrounding tissue.

Don't suffer any longer, book your appointment today and start to feel the effects of Acupuncture.

Thanks, Catherine 😊

Last month we wished her well and said goodbye to Helen as she concentrates on her Wetherby clinic.

This month has been busy around my holiday.

Next month is now rapidly approaching! So a bit of an update about availability.

I continue to work in clinic on the following days and times:
Monday 12 till 7pm
Tuesday 10 till 1pm
Thursday 12 till 7pm
Friday 10 till 1pm.

I have a few days off here and there but am mostly in clinic during August before I take a long weekend at the Bank Holiday weekend to visit family by the sea.

There is some day time availability particularly on a Monday so if you are wanting to start working with me, Mondays in August would be a great time before the busy September rush starts!

To book an appointment ring reception on 01924 369077 where they will be happy to help.you.

Thanks, Catherine.

Thank you for all the well wishes and hints and tips about things to see and do in Croatia. I fell in love with the place and spent lots of time sightseeing and by the sea, and in the sea a few times to cool off! I also enjoyed admiring all the homegrown produce in people's gardens. Oh, and maybe some ice cream too!

The photo above is from Plitvice Lakes National Park, which is a UNESCO world heritage site and definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. It is an absolutely stunning part of central Croatia. No swimming is allowed so it is totally unspoilt and very blue.

I feel rested, refreshed and raring to go. I am back in clinic this morning with a fully booked week with current patients. New patients, there is some limited availability next week, so get in touch if you want to start your journey with me. I look forward to meeting you.

Thanks, Catherine 😊

From 3pm today I will be on annual leave until Monday 20th July. Looking forward to some adventures and rest in equal measures because, after all, it is all about balance! Thank you to all my patients who keep my little clinic very busy. It is an honour to work with you all.

For any enquiries please contact Wakefield Osteopaths reception team on 01924 369077 where they will be happy to help with any enquiries or bookings.

Thanks, Catherine 😊

Even on my day off yesterday I had reminders of my job! But don't worry, if you are new to my page and yet to come to clinic for treatment you certainly won't look like this when you are laid on my couch with needles in. I generally use anywhere between 5 and 15 needles in treatments, and for a 1st treatment I don't usually use more than 10.

I will be taking some annual leave from next Wednesday, back in clinic w/c 20th July. For bookings please contact reception on 01924 369077 where they will be happy to help.
Thanks, Catherine. 😊

Happy Summer Solstice everyone!!

We generally think of the Solstice as a whole day - with the longest time of daylight and the shortest period of nocturnal darkness - but the solstice actually happens at an exact time.

This year it is at 09:24 BST on 21 June - the moment the northern hemisphere is most tilted towards the Sun.

From a Traditional Chinese Medicine point of view it is the time of peak Yang energy and after this point we start to welcome the Yin back in.

Traditional Chinese Medicine correlates the season of summer with the element of Fire. According to the principles of TCM, each season is connected to specific organs in our bodies. The summer, in particular, is associated with the Heart and Small Intestine.

In the summer season, with the increase in Yang energy (active, outward-focused energy), it becomes really important to make time to nourish our heart, mind, and spirit. We can do this through mindful eating, regular exercise and spending time in nature.

It is all about creating a balance between the active Yang and the restorative Yin. Something I talk about a lot in clinic.

It looks like it is going to be a hot one here in the UK so stay hydrated and enjoy.

Thanks, Catherine 😊

These 5 little needles are what make up the NADA Ear Acupuncture Protocol.
This protocol was originally designed to be used in a group setting to support addiction recovery, but it also makes a great stand-alone acupuncture treatment for individuals wanting help with the following;

Anxiety & Panic disorders
Stress Management
Emotional regulation
Sleep disturbances
Hot flushes and Menopausal symptoms
Pain relief.

If you would like to book a 30 minute NADA appointment with Helen on a Tuesday or Friday afternoon please contact us on the website contact form (link in bio) or ring reception on 01924 369077 and ask for a NADA appointment with Helen.

Appointments can be scheduled as a one-off reset or you can come along for a series of sessions to get the full benefits.

Let's face it, anything new can be a bit daunting. And coming to your 1st Acupuncture appointment can feel just like that. After all, there are needles involved!! But our needles are not like the needles you are used to with blood tests or injections.

So what can you expect if you come to see us for an initial appointment?

*Some forms to fill in, so come 5 minutes early.

*Lots of questions!! About your presenting condition and lots of others too.

*We will ask to look at your tongue!!

*We will feel the pulses on both of your wrists.

*We will then settle you on the treatment couch and talk you through what we are doing. We will check you are comfortable with any points we want to needle before we do them.

*Once the needles are all in, you get to have a 15-20 minute rest or even a little snooze if you want to. Yes, lots of people fall asleep with Acupuncture needles stuck in them!!

So there is no need to be worried, We will help you through any nerves, and soon you will be relaxing on the couch and taking some time and space to just breathe.... and let the needles do their thing!

Visit our website, link in bio, and in particular see the "what to expect" page and the "patient testimonials" page to see what working with us is like. If you want to get in touch fill in the form, and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

Thanks, Catherine and Helen

Let's talk tongues today, on this lovely sunny Monday morning, because they are so important from a Chinese Medicine point of view. We want to see you tongue in a consult because it tells us lots of information and helps us to treat you more effectively.

Some people are a bit self conscious about showing their tongue and others stick them out quite happily.

Some confess to something they have just eaten!

And some ask me how I know they feel tired today or they have chronicly low iron levels.

I have even been called magic before!!

But it is not magic, it is Chinese Medicine!!

So don't be embarrassed when we ask to see your tongue. But do tell us if you have consumed something that has discoloured it.

It helps our diagnosis and therefore your treatment.

For more info please visit my website, link in bio.

Thanks, Catherine. 😊
