What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture works by controlling and activating our life force (or "Qi"), which in turn is the active force which moves and controls our blood and keeps us healthy and alive!

Qi moves in streams of energy within the body and acupuncture points are areas which are high in life energy and easily accessible on the surface of the body.

Acupuncture needles are metal and therefore influence the bio-electricity in our bodies, encouraging the flow of energy and blood and thereby increasing health.

Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years and is, therefore, a tried and tested system of medicine. Your body functions by maintaining balance between all its organs, and by enabling the unimpeded flow of energy and blood throughout your body.

Natural & effective treatment for chronic health issues

Acupuncture can help correct any chronic health problem. The earlier treatment is started the better, as illness starts at the level of energy and then progresses towards physical change and tissue damage.

It's always easier to cure illness when there are symptoms, but before there are changes which can be detected on medical tests. Prevention through natural treatment is always preferable to the drastic interventions available to Western medicine, further down the line.

Healing however, is always possible within the allotted time we have on Earth!

After 8 years of trying to conceive and treatment from three TCM practitioners, I began having treatment with Vivienne. She was always happy to explain the treatment she was giving me, and her diagnosis of any issues she thought I may have in regard to fertility.One month after taking this treatment, I became pregnant at the age of 41. I gave birth to a healthy son, and I know this would never have happened without Vivienne’s help and cannot recommend her highly enough.

I have a punishing work schedule and before I started having regular acupuncture and herbal prescriptions I was frequently suffering from bronchitis and asthma attacks. My sickness record is now better than any one else’s at work and I have lots of energy to deal with all the demands I have.

Before I first saw Vivienne I had been under the NHS pain clinic for over a decade for nerve pain and tried numerous drugs and treatments, that had at best reduced the pain level (be it temporarily) by about 20%. However, over 5 months Vivienne’s treatment has gently chipped away at the pain bringing it down by at least 75%, which is far over and above any expectations I had. Vivienne is a both a calm and calming person, and I have felt genuinely listened to and a real sincerity in Vivienne’s wish both to relieve pain and care for my overall wellbeing. I am truly grateful to her.
