Specialist Spinal Alignment & Acupuncture

Expert Care with 20 Years of Clinical Experience

"With a background of over 20 years as a Midwife in clinical practice, I bring a deep, medical understanding of human anatomy and physical health to my therapy room. I work with both men and women to address the root causes of physical discomfort, postural imbalance, and chronic pain.

My approach is rooted in Western Medical Acupuncture (WMA).  It is important to distinguish this from basic "dry needling".  Whilst I do address myofascial trigger points, my treatments involve:

Neuromodulation:  Utilizing specific points to stimulate the release of endogenous opiods (endorphins and enkephalins) and modulate autonomic tone.

Segmental and Systemic Effects: Targeting the spinal cord and brain to "reset" chronic pain pathways, which is particularly effective for migraines, tension headaches and persistent back pain to name a few.

I compliment this with other therapies such as Spinal Touch, a gentle corrective therapy and alternative to chiropractic, designed to re-align the body's centre of gravity and reduce the mechanical stress that often drives chronic muscle pain.

By combining these modalities, I address both the neurological (Acupuncture) and structural (Spinal Touch) aspects of your condition - an integrative approach that often yields results when conventional singular therapies and medications have plateaued.

Specialist Maternity Services

As an experienced Midwife, I've spent my career supporting women through every stage of birth.  I bring that clinical experience to my private practice to offer you something truly special:  Midwife-Led Maternity Acupuncture, Spinal Touch and other Holistic maternity treatments.

Why see a midwife for your holistic care?  

Because I don't just see "symptoms" - I understand the anatomy and physiology of what you and your baby are going through.  For example:

Acupuncture: Easing morning sickness, pelvic girdle pain (PGP) to tension-type headaches.

Spinal Touch: Helping your body stay in gentle alignment as your bump grows.

Massage: Post Dates massage and aromatherapy to reduce your need for an Induction of labour.

Postpartum Support: Helping your body recalibrate, balancing hormones and supporting breastfeeding.

Birth Prep: Using evidence-based points to help ripen the cervix and prepare your mind and body for the "big day".

You deserve to feel comfortable, balanced and empowered.  Let's make this journey as smooth as possible.

Each session is a 60-minute "pause button." While the needles work to balance your hormones and boost blood flow to the uterus, you are gifted a rare window of deep, meditative stillness. It’s a time to:

• Quiet the "Noise": Shed the anxieties of birth stories and hospital bags.

• Connect: Feel the subtle movements of your baby in a state of total relaxation.

• Build Your Reservoir: Accumulate the stamina and mental calm you’ll draw upon during labour.

Why Women Choose It

• Shorter Labour Times: Research suggests regular pre-birth acupuncture can lead to a more efficient active phase of labour.

• Natural Transition: It reduces the statistical likelihood of needing medical interventions or artificial induction.

• Postpartum Foundation: By balancing your energy now, you are setting the stage for a smoother, more replenished recovery once the baby arrives.

It is a ceremony of readiness—a way to tell your body and your baby that you are open, relaxed, and ready to meet.
