About the Business

After graduating Emma lived and worked in Indonesia for several years studying Javanese martial arts which sparked off her interest in energetic medicine. After returning to the UK she qualified as a reflexologist, and then went on to complete her licentiate in acupuncture at The College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading, one of the leading colleges in Europe and a British Acupuncture Council accredited college.

The course includes the requisite western medical sciences and combines two types of traditional acupuncture, the 5 element constitutional model and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Her clinical supervision was under Angela Hicks, a leading author of many chinese medicine text books.

Emma continues to develop and widen her knowledge of chinese medicine by regularly attending specialist post-graduate courses. She has developed strong links with Gps and other complementary healthcare providers in Cardiff over the years to help each patient reach optimal health and enjoys having students observe with her.

Emma has a particular interest in gastro-intestinal disorders having worked closely with a gastro-enterologist at the university hospital in Birmingham. She has also undertaken further training with Daverick Leggett on dietary therapy and the energetics of food in chinese medicine.

Introducing Acupuncture

Introducing Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a system of healing which has been practised in China and the far east for thousands of years. It has been developed, tested, researched and refined over centuries to give us a complex and detailed understanding of the body’s energetic balance.

In Chinese Medicine, vital energy known as qi, circulates in the body through meridians, also known as pathways or channels. When energy is flowing smoothly, we are nourished on a physical, mental and emotional level and we flourish as human beings. However, this energetic flow can sometimes stagnate or become deficient, manifesting in the body as physical discomfort or pain. In ourselves, we might feel low in mood, depressed and anxious or just not ourselves and life seems a struggle.

When a person comes to see an acupuncturist, they might present with many symptoms and often a complex pattern of disharmony is recorded by the practitioner who has been trained to use subtle diagnostic techniques. The ultimate task of the acupuncturist is to diagnose the root cause of ill health and to ascertain which influences in a person’s life are contributing to the imbalance. We then develop effective treatments, lifestyle and often dietary changes to create long lasting health benefits

Treatment involves the insertion of fine needles in the skin which stimulates and harmonizes the energy, triggering the body’s healing response to restore physical, emotional and mental equilibrium.
