Chinese medicine is a large healing system originating in ancient China, with history of continuous of at least 2000 years. Under the umbrella of ‘Chinese medicine’ there are a number of healing therapies. While acupuncture is the most well-known of these therapies here in the West (and is the main modality I use in clinic), I am trained in all the following therapies, and offer these as treatment options in combination with acupuncture when they offer a quicker or more effective solution for certain conditions.

• Acupuncture: see here

• Botanical therapy (Chinese herbal medicine): see here

• Cupping therapy (decompression therapy): stress, tension, pain management, headaches & migraines, immune regulation

• Gua sha (scraping therapy): some types of pain, tension, immune regulation

• Traditional thermal therapy (long-wavelength infrared heat therapy - also known as ‘moxabustion’) and the modern version, TDP far-infrared heat therapy: pain management, injuries, breech presentation, post-partum healing & recovery, promoting micro-circulation (many chronic conditions)
