How Can We Help?
Acupuncture
The patient is seen as an individual and our focus is on the symptoms and their relation to one another; finding the root of the problem within that particular patient and treating it. Our practitioner will use subtle techniques & diagnostic tools that have been developed over hundreds of years to build a thorough diagnosis.
Chinese Herbs
Chinese Herbal Medicine is a time honoured tradition and core component of TCM, involving the use of natural plant-based remedies to promote healing and balance in the body. The herbs are carefully selected & combined to create formulas. Each formula is unique, designed to address the patient’s unique health condition & constitution.
Tui Na Massage
Tui Na is one of the four main branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Otherwise known as Chinese Medical Massage, its benefits are wide ranging and very effective. Not only are they effective in the treatment of muscular-skeletal ailments but also, uniquely, in treatments concerned with specific illnesses of an internal nature.
Mind & Emotion
Chinese Medicine views diseases caused from an imbalance of emotions as “internal causes”. They can arise from an imbalance in emotions such as anger, worry, fear, shock, grief, overthinking, even joy. Five Element Acupuncture has wonderful results in restoring a patient’s mental & emotional health back to a place of equilibrium.
Children & Fertility
As practitioners of Paediatrics it’s amazing to see the effects that acupuncture can bring when working with children’s conditions. It has been used for thousands of years to improve children’s health and aid recovery from a wide range of illnesses & medical conditions. Considered a speciality, it requires specific training and knowledge.

“Martine was treating my sciatica, dysmenorrhea and back pain with acupuncture and moxa. She was extremely professional and had a very calming nature………my sciatica hasn’t played up since! I’ve been sleeping so much better & would recommend her to everyone.”
“Martine is warm and welcoming and she was calm, patient, and reassuring with me when I was feeling anxious about the needles………..I’m so grateful For Martine and her expertise and I would highly recommend her to anybody!“
“I have found Martine’s accupuncture has helped me enormously with the symptoms of menopause – reduced hot flushes that day and decreasing to nothing over a few days. Highly recommended! Having treatment has also helped my daughter with her anxiety related to school.”
