🌿 When stress starts catching up with you

With the darker evenings setting in and Christmas creeping onto the horizon, it can feel like there’s a lot to juggle at this time of year. Work, family, responsibilities and not always much time left for yourself.

You might notice you’re experiencing:

* Tension in your shoulders and neck
* Headaches or migraines
* Difficulty switching off
* Poor sleep
* Feeling anxious or overwhelmed
* Low energy and feeling run down

Stress can affect us in lots of different ways, both physically and emotionally.

Acupuncture may help with some of these symptoms, supporting your wellbeing and giving you dedicated time to slow down and focus on yourself.

At Forest Acupuncture, every treatment is tailored to you and what you’re experiencing.

You don’t have to wait until you’re completely worn out to look after yourself. 🌿

🌿 Over the worst of a virus, but still not feeling yourself?

The cold or flu might have passed, but sometimes the fatigue, headaches, poor sleep and lack of energy can linger.

You might be sleeping but not feeling rested, struggling to get through the day or finding that your energy just hasn’t returned to normal.

Acupuncture can support your wellbeing during recovery, helping with symptoms such as headaches, pain, tension and sleep difficulties. It may also help with fatigue and low energy.

Alongside rest and your usual healthcare, acupuncture can be a way to give yourself some extra support while you recover.

🍂 Are the colder days making your aches and pains worse?

As autumn sets in, you might be noticing stiffer joints in the morning, more muscle tension or familiar aches and pains becoming harder to ignore.

If you’re living with back pain, neck and shoulder pain, joint pain or other ongoing pain, it can be frustrating when things start to flare up just as the weather changes.

🌿 Acupuncture may help relieve pain and muscle tension, and can be a useful part of managing ongoing pain alongside your usual healthcare.

At Forest Acupuncture, every treatment is tailored to you, taking into account your symptoms, your health and how you’re feeling.

You don’t have to simply put up with pain affecting your everyday life.

🌿 September at Forest Acupuncture

This month I’ve been supporting people with a really varied mix of health concerns and life circumstances:

✨ Support during and after chemotherapy and cancer treatment
✨ Bereavement
✨ ADHD
✨ PTSD
✨ Back, neck, shoulder and knee pain
✨ Post-surgery recovery
✨ Plantar fasciitis
✨ Migraine
✨ Burnout
✨ Anxiety
✨ Perimenopause symptoms
✨ Endometriosis
✨ Chronic fatigue syndrome / ME
✨ Sleep problems

Some people come with one main concern, while others have several things going on at once.

Every treatment starts with a chat about how you’re feeling and what’s been happening, before creating a treatment tailored to you.

Acupuncture can be used alongside your usual medical care and other support.

If there’s something you’ve been struggling with and you’re wondering whether acupuncture might be able to help, get in touch.

🌿 What actually happens when you come for acupuncture?

If you’ve never had acupuncture before, you might be wondering what the appointment is actually like.

When you arrive, we’ll have a chat about your health, what’s been going on and what you’d like some support with.

Then you’ll get comfortable on the treatment couch while I put together a treatment tailored to you.

The acupuncture needles are gently placed and, depending on what’s appropriate, I may also use moxibustion, cupping, gua sha or my infrared heat lamp.

And then you can simply lie back and relax. 🌿

The needles stay in while you have some quiet time to yourself. The treatment room is warm and comfortable, with a heated couch, blankets, gentle music, low lighting and infrared heat to keep you cosy.

You don’t need to know what you need before you come — that’s what I’m here for.

✨ Initial acupuncture appointment — £95 | 90 minutes
✨ Follow-up acupuncture — £55 | 45 minutes
✨ Facial Acupuncture Ritual — £95 | 90 minutes

💬 If you’ve been thinking about trying acupuncture, message me to book. Or, if you’d like to chat first, I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation.

🌿 Feeling burnt out? Acupuncture may be able to help.

Burnout can leave you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed and like you’re constantly running on empty.

It can affect much more than your energy levels, with things like:

✨ Poor sleep
✨ Anxiety and stress
✨ Headaches and tension
✨ Digestive problems
✨ Feeling wired but exhausted
✨ Difficulty switching off
✨ Low mood and motivation

Acupuncture takes a holistic approach, looking at how these things can be connected rather than treating each symptom separately.

Treatment can help you slow down, switch off and support your body when you’ve been under prolonged stress. Many people also find acupuncture helpful for improving sleep, easing tension and supporting their overall wellbeing.

It can be used alongside other support and your usual healthcare.

You don’t have to wait until you’re completely exhausted to ask for help.

📍 Forest Acupuncture, Burton Joyce

💬 If you’re feeling burnt out and wondering whether acupuncture could help, get in touch to book a free 15-minute phone consultation. We can chat about what’s going on and whether treatment might be right for you.

🌿 What I’ve been supporting people with over the last few weeks

No two acupuncture appointments are the same, and recently I’ve been supporting people with a really varied mix of symptoms and health concerns.

✨ Insomnia and poor sleep
✨ IBS and digestive symptoms
✨ Stress and anxiety
✨ Bereavement
✨ Chronic fatigue syndrome
✨ Endometriosis
✨ Migraines
✨ Plantar fasciitis
✨ Fertility issues
✨ Back pain
✨ Perimenopause

Some people come with one main concern, while others are dealing with several things at once.

I take a holistic approach, looking at the individual rather than simply treating a symptom in isolation. Every treatment is tailored to what you need support with at that particular time.

Acupuncture can also be used alongside your usual healthcare and medical treatment.

🌿 Acupuncture isn’t just about needles.

As well as acupuncture, I also use cupping and gua sha as part of treatments where appropriate.

✨ Cupping
Cups are placed on the skin to create gentle suction. It can be particularly useful for areas of muscular tension, tightness and discomfort, and can help encourage circulation to the area.

✨ Gua sha
A smooth tool is used to gently massage and scrape the skin. It can be used on areas of tension and stiffness, and I also use it as part of my Facial Acupuncture Ritual.

Both techniques can be used alongside acupuncture, depending on what you need on the day.

Your treatment isn’t a set routine — I tailor it to you, your symptoms and how you’re feeling when you come in.

📍 Forest Acupuncture, Burton Joyce

💬 Not sure whether acupuncture, cupping or gua sha could be right for you? I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to chat things through.

You don’t have to be unwell to have acupuncture. 🌿

You don’t need a particular health problem or something that needs fixing.

Sometimes you just want to slow down, switch off and have some time for yourself.

At Forest Acupuncture, your treatment can be a chance to properly relax, with a comfortable couch, fluffy blankets, low lighting, gentle music and aromatherapy oils ☺️

When the weather is a bit colder you can also enjoy an infrared heat lamp gently warming your feet plus the couch is heated too 🔥

You can come simply because you enjoy how acupuncture makes you feel — and make regular treatments part of your wellbeing routine.
