How I can help
Acupuncture to bring relief from chronic pain and support
women at all stages of life.
'I visited Grace due to having fairly serious back pain post childbirth. Each time I left feeling so much better - stress reduced, much more comfort and flexibility in my back, and just more 'myself'. She is brilliant at making you feel relaxed and at ease, and at understanding what you really need.'
— Charmian (Postnatal Back Pain)
About Me
Hello, I’m Grace, a Licensed Acupuncturist and Shiatsu Therapist with over eight years’ experience in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
I support people experiencing women’s health concerns and chronic pain conditions. Many of the people I treat are navigating painful or irregular cycles, fertility issues, pregnancy-related symptoms, perimenopause, or chronic pain and tension.
I understand how frustrating it can feel when your symptoms begin affecting your energy, wellbeing, and quality of life. My aim is to provide treatments that help you feel calmer, more balanced, and more like yourself again.
Each treatment is tailored to you, using a holistic approach that considers your physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing. Through careful diagnosis and personalised care, I support your body’s natural ability to regulate, recover, and heal.
'I came to see Grace for severe PMS and period pain, which I had been struggling with for years. After just one treatment, my symptoms were significantly reduced. My mood improved, I felt lighter and more energised, and more like myself again.'
— Lydia (PMS & Period Pain)
'Grace is a brilliant practitioner. She really helped me with physical pain, stress and burn out. I was able to reach a deep state of relaxation that I find quite rare. '
— Frithe (Stress & Burnout)
'Her treatments are really effective, and I’ve seen a noticeable difference; not just physically, but in how I feel overall. I’m more balanced, relaxed, and a lot less tense. It’s obvious she has a real passion for her work.'
— Michaela
What to expect from your treatment
Consultation
Your first session begins with a relaxed conversation about your health history, current symptoms, lifestyle and goals. This gives me the opportunity to understand the wider picture and develop a personalised treatment approach.
Pulse & Tongue Diagnosis
You’ll then lie comfortably while I take a look at your tongue and feel your pulse. These are traditional Chinese medicine diagnostic techniques that help me build a fuller picture of your health and identify patterns that may be contributing to your symptoms.
Bodywork & Acupressure
I begin your treatment with some gentle stretches, acupressure or bodywork. These techniques can help me further assess areas of tension and imbalance, while also helping you to settle into a relaxed state before the acupuncture.
Gentle Needle Insertion
I then insert ultra-fine, sterile needles at specific acupuncture points. Acupuncture needles are very fine, and insertion is usually painless. You may experience sensations such as warmth, heaviness, tingling or a gentle dull ache around the needles.
Time to Relax
Once the needles are in place, you’ll have time to rest comfortably for around 20–40 minutes. Many people find this part of the treatment deeply relaxing and may even drift off to sleep.
Additional Techniques
Depending on your individual needs, I may also incorporate other techniques into your treatment, always with your consent. These might include Shiatsu, moxibustion, cupping or gua sha.
Your Treatment Plan
At the end of your session, we’ll discuss what I’ve found and talk through your personalised treatment plan. Where appropriate, I may also suggest supportive exercises, lifestyle changes or other recommendations that can complement your acupuncture treatment.
