Acupuncture
This is an ancient form of traditional Chinese Medicine dating back over 2000 years. It is the Chinese ideology that pain and illness derive from energetic imbalances within the body, this can come from genetic make-up, lifestyle choices such as diet and stress, climatic factors, medicines, and more.
Food Energetics
Diet is crucial in TCM to keep the harmonious balance of the body. To keep this harmony we need to understand our individual constitution. Different core constitutions mean different dietary requirements to keep the body strong. One food may be good for one person but not for another, and modern diets commonly fail to acknowledge the individualism of each own body. Whilst Western nutrition emphasises nutrients and calories, Eastern emphasises works on an energetic level, how the food reflects the patterns of nature, and in turn the energetic effect within our bodies, such as heating and cooling, cleansing, or toning.
TCM teaches us to include foods that work in alignment with our own constitution, as well as the seasons, and avoid foods that do not.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is an ancient treatment, which can be used stand-alone or be combined with acupuncture. There are slight variations of cupping therapy and Victoria currently uses Fire cupping either static or with a sliding technique. This is a method of warming a glass cup before it is placed onto a local area or specific acupuncture point on the body and creates suction.
The use of this therapy encourages Qi and blood flow through the muscles, often described as similar to a deep tissue massage and is commonly used to relieve sore muscles, however, it also has a very therapeutic effect that can last for weeks.
Cupping therapy is generally painless and for the majority is very relaxing, however for some discomfort may arise from unblocking the Qi, but this is seen as a good thing from the practitioner's perspective as it means the treatment is working Victoria however, will adapt the level if needed to suit the condition and the patient.
It can produce circular bruising which although for most is painless may last a few days.
Moxibustion
This is a form of therapy that entails the burning of mugwort leaves close to the surface of the skin which produces heat.
The heat penetrates the 'meridian' it's used on which helps move Qi, as well as disperse 'cold'. Both stagnation of Qi and blood and the presence of 'cold' are common causes of disharmony within the body. This is a painless and very therapeutic treatment.
Reiki
Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan in the early 20th century.
There are many variations of Reiki worldwide, I am trained in the traditional Usui Reiki.
Reiki works on the premise that we have an unseen life force throughout our bodies, disruptions to this life force through our experiences or lifestyles can throw us out of balance, eventually manifesting in physical, emotional or psychological conditions.
Reiki treatments help in rebalancing and harmonizing our internal energies to support our health and well-being. Reiki is an extremely relaxing and therapeutic experience, the scene is set just so to enhance the serene energy of Reiki.
