About the Business

My passion for Chinese Medicine started some years ago when I had some issues with endometriosis. At the time, I saw a consultant and was given some hormonal drugs to try and help with the pain.

Unfortunately, these didn't work me and made me poorly and depressed. After trying a few different types of medication, I was told that there was nothing else they could do for me.

That's when I started to look at other ways of healing. I looked at diet and acupuncture and they both changed my life. I was astonished at how much difference diet made to my pain levels and angry that no one had ever told me about the relationship between my health and my diet. I mean, like everyone else, I knew that having a good enough diet is important but I had never realized the immense power food has over our physical and mental health.

Acupuncture helped me too for the endometriosis side of things but, most importantly, I discovered that it didn’t just helped with my gynaecological symptoms but also with a lot of other things, seemingly unrelated, such as deep tiredness and stress. It’s my overall health and wellbeing that improved, not just the pain. And so started my journey as a Chinese medicine practitioner.

What is Acupuncture?

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is one of the oldest medical procedures in the world. Its origin lies in ancient China and can be traced back over 4000 years. Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine are still used in hospitals today in China and in other Eastern cultures as a primary medical modality.

Acupuncture has its origin in an ancient Chinese philosophy which views a person as a system in which body and mind are unified, each influencing and balancing each other. This is why the focus of the treatment is on treating the whole person in its entirely rather than isolated specific symptoms.

The ancient Chinese believed that there is an universal life energy, called Qi (pronounced Chee), present in every living creature. Symptoms of illness arise when a person’s vital energy is not flowing as it should. Through thin needles, acupuncturists gently work with your Qi to give it as much quality, balance and flow as possible – the basis for long lasting health and vitality.

I choose to turn to acupuncture after hearing a radio interview and how it had helped a certain celebrity. I had suffered from IBS and acute stress for a number of years and found no improvement from more conventional methods. With some apprehension I made my first appointment where we discussed my lifestyle and the acute symptoms I was experiencing. The results from my first session were outstanding. Literally after the first session it was like a weight had been lifted off my chest and the IBS symptoms subsided. Further sessions allowed me to gain even further control and I also developed a better understanding of how to look after myself; putting me in control. I still continue to with the treatment at a maintenance level, as I find the sessions very therapeutic and it allows me to focus on maintaining my own well-being around the stresses and distractions of work. Acupuncture has changed my life and I couldn’t recommend Sabine highly enough!
