Acupuncture
Using small sterile needles to activate specific acupuncture points, energy centres, to stimulate the bodies natural ability to self heal.
The specific acupuncture points influence energy flows, organ functions, emotions and muscle tissues in order to address the body's self-healing capacity. Acupuncture therefore helps restore the automatic functions of the body and the well-being of the person. An acupuncture point can therefore be seen as a critical area where information comes together and information can be influenced by the insertion of needles.
The needles are inserted and you are invited into a deep state of rest for 25-30 minutes while your body receives this deeply healing and personalised treatment.
Cupping
Cupping is an ancient technique that uses glass or plastic cups to remove toxins from the body and clear stagnation. The cups are placed on the skin, mostly on the back, and uses a vacuum technique to draw blood to the selected area. This works on the muscles and muscle tissues. Supporting the circulation of blood, improves stagnation, stiffness and inflammation.
Cupping is used commonly used for treating pain, supporting your immune system, improving blood circulation, and for relaxation. Clients have used cupping for:
Injuries, for example of the back or shoulder
Detoxifying your body, clearing out colds and external pathogens.
Clearing out colds and external pathogens from the body.

Please note: the treatment can cause bruising of the skin. This can last for a few days to a week. These areas of bruising will likely feel sensitive or sore in the days following. It is advised to keep the area covered and warm for the days following treatment.
Gua Sha
Gua (scrape) Sha (stagnated energy) is a therapy of Traditional Chinese Medicine that is used to support people with neck and shoulder complaints, as well as used to clear toxins from the body and to support meridian health.
What to expect
In a gua sha treatment oil will be applied to the skin and then a gua sha tool, mostly a jade stone, is rubbed or scraped across the skin to stimulate blood circulation in the skin, muscles, fascia. This allows for the waste products to be rise to the surface and be released and recovery can begin. Gua sha stimulates your immune system and has a rejuvinating effect on the skin; gua sha can also be used as a cosmetic treatment.
It is important to drink sufficient amount of water after the treatment so that the waste products can be flushed out of your system.
Please note: the treatment can cause red and purple bruising of the skin. This can last for a few days to a week. These areas of bruising will likely feel sensitive or sore in the days following.
