Balancing Health & Wellness with Acupuncture

Balancing health and wellness through acupuncture

WELCOME

Vanessa Acupuncture integrates traditional techniques with modern practices to offer a personalised approach to your health and wellness. Vanessa is dedicated to ensuring a comfortable and effective treatment experience. Whether you are seeking pain relief, detoxification, or overall well-being.

Over thousands of years, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has developed and now encompasses a range of therapies, including acupuncture, electroacupuncture, cupping, gua sha, acupressure, dietary therapy and moxibustion. While TCM bases its practice on energy, harmony, and balance, Western medicine focuses primarily on treating disease. In addition to treating conditions, Chinese medicine also aims to prevent disease and enhance overall health.

Vanessa Acupuncture aims to ensure the root cause of any condition is considered and the intricate balance between mind and body is harmonised. Through working on the meridians within the body, Vanessa uses fine needles, inserted in specific points to encourage blood flow, energy (Qi – pronounced “chee” in Chinese) and restoration of deficiencies and excesses within the body.

Sessions often work in a cumulative way, with chronic conditions requiring a longer course of treatment. Some treatments can help after just one session however, therefore each patient is treated as an individual with a unique treatment plan. This plan includes advice for diet and exercise based on the principles of Chinese Medicine.

Vanessa is a member of the ‘British Acupuncture Council’ and the ‘Professional Standards Authority’.

Whether you are new to acupuncture or seeking specialised treatment, I am here to guide you on your journey to better health. Contact me today to schedule a consultation and discover the benefits of acupuncture and its ancillary techniques.

Dedicated, persistent and empathetic

I came to her not expecting much escape from a hefty affliction of osteo-arthritis. Yet, after just three very relaxing treatments, I am very nearly back to those heady days before the visitations of crippling pain and the resultant having to waddle around like a penguin.

Vanessa has achieved, in such a short space of time, what two highly paid medical consultants failed miserably to attain. If you have any doubts whatsoever put them aside now. Lucky you to have discovered Vanessa.

Symptoms improved dramatically

Vanessa treated me over a number of weeks for hormonal related issues. She is incredibly personable, understanding, and a great listener. My symptoms improved dramatically and she has taught me a lot about the way my body works. I wish we lived closer so that I could continue having treatments every week!

Dry, irritating cough

When I had acupuncture with Vanessa, I told her about my medical conditions, in particular about the dry, irritating cough I had suffered with for over five months due to acid reflux. My GP had suggested using the inhaler & taking medication which I have done for several months but the situation hasn’t gone away sadly. Vanessa decided to use some points in my jaw line & that did wonders. For five days, I did not cough at all!  It was a miracle! The cough has returned but it is not a whole day of coughing anymore, just couple of times a day. I will continue with this treatment as I’m benefiting greatly. Thank you Vanessa!

Very well experienced

I started my acupuncture treatment with Vanessa five weeks ago and instantly felt a great connection with her. I loved going to my sessions even though i hate needles because she makes it so worthwhile. She was able to gather all the information and treat me accordingly and I just feel like myself again after a few sessions. Vanessa is very well experienced with patients and just has a lovely radiant energy about her.

Nazia Khatun

Highly recommended!

Vanessa is a wonderful therapist. She actually listens and creates a treatment plan based on what it is you want. Lovely treatment room, very relaxed treatment sessions. After having a rough acupuncture session many years ago I was quite unsure about trying again. Vanessa’s approach was very reassuring, everything was explained before treatment started and she is a wonderful practitioner. Highly recommended.

Chronic Back Pain

I’ve had chronic back pain for years but, more recently, it has got much worse. I decided to try acupuncture but did not expect to see an improvement after only two sessions. Vanessa is thorough and professional but also puts you at your ease the moment to walk into her lovely treatment space. Her approach is very specific to your needs and, in my third session, she was also able to treat a muscle I had pulled that morning with some addition cupping and heat treatment, alongside acupuncture. She has advised me about dietary changes to balance my Qi and has me practicing Qigong, which I really enjoy. I look forward to each session and the changes I will enjoy as a result. Worth every penny.

Wonderful experience

I had such a wonderful experience with Vanessa at her acupuncture practice! From the moment I walked in, she made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything clearly so you understand the treatment process and how it benefits your health. Vanessa has a calm, welcoming demeanour that immediately puts you at ease, and her holistic approach shows how she cares for her patients. I always leave my sessions feeling more relaxed, balanced, and confident in my well-being. I highly recommend Vanessa to anyone seeking acupuncture!
