Pain and ill health is bought about by blockages in Qi (energy) and blood according to Oriental beliefs. My aim is to bring your body into balance by clearing any blockages you have which are causing you pain or illness, to enable you to lead a healthy and fulfilling life.
The origins of acupuncture can be traced back at least two thousand years, making it one of the oldest and most long-standing health care systems in the world.
Acupuncture is an effective, natural and extremely popular form of health care that is being used by many people it takes a wholistic approach to understanding normal function and disease processes focusing on the prevention of illness as well as the treatment.
When healthy, an abundant supply of qi (energy) flows through the body's meridians (a network of invisible channels through the body). If the flow of qi in the meridians becomes blocked or there is an inadequate supply of qi, then the body fails to maintain harmony, balance and order, and disease or illness follows. This can result from stress, overwork, poor diet, disease pathogens, weather and environmental conditions, and other lifestyle factors and becomes evident to the acupuncturist through observable signs of bodily dysfunction. Acupuncturists look carefully for these signs of health and dysfunction, paying particular attention not only to the presenting signs and symptoms, but also to the medical history, general constitution, and the pulse, tongue and hara (abdominal diagnosis)
Acupuncture
Japanese acupuncture is the insertion of very fine needles into acupuncture points in your body to redirect energy to allow your body to bring about a natural healing. These needles are used with very shallow insertion sometimes only just touching the skin with no insertion at all.
The pulse and abdomen are palpated to indicate any imbalance and the best form of treatment for you. Acupuncture provides drug free pain relief and effectively treats a wide range of acute and chronic health problems. It treats the underlying cause of disease as well as the symptoms, providing a wholistic approach to the treatment of illness, by treating body, mind and emotions as well as assisting in the prevention of disease and the maintenance of general well-being.
There are different forms of Japanese acupuncture and Christine is a practitioner of two of these.
One is with the use of ion pumping cords attached to needles or studs, these cords along with the points they are connected to work to bring increased blood flow to areas of pain to reduce that pain, as well as the blockages in energy which are causing the problem, in order to bring about your healing.
The other form is a non-insertion technique which has been developed by the blind practitioners in Japan. This painless form of acupuncture is very powerful and brings about your healing with the utmost comfort.

Infertility, Gynecology and Obstetrics
Combining Acupuncture with Chinese Herbal Medicine is very effective in increasing the lining of the uterus, increasing sperm count in males, regulating hormones, bringing about ovulation and preventing miscarriage. Research has proven that acupuncture is able to increase progesterone levels and regulate FSH, LH and estrogen levels, which can have a positive effect on the ability to fall pregnant, as these hormones need to be in balance in order for a woman to conceive. Acupuncture is able to regulate these hormones by balancing the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis also being able to regulate reproductive and stress hormones bringing a balance to the menstrual cycle thus allowing the body to be more fertile with the view to a viable pregnancy. Research has also shown that acupuncture immediately before and after embryo transfer increased the success rate of a viable pregnancy from 26.3% to 42.5%. The most effective way to approach this form of acupuncture is to have the treatments twice weekly for 2 months prior to IVF and during the cycle, or to use the treatments for 3 to 6 months if used alone without IVF. This of course can vary as the menstrual cycle must be balanced and regulated before a viable pregnancy can occur.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion is the burning of the herb mugwort on acu-points or areas of pain or weakness, it radiates an immense amount of heat into your body to bring about pain relief, by moving the stagnation that has accumulated to create the pain you are experiencing.
Eastern Cupping
Suction cups are placed on areas of tightness or knots in muscle tissue to soften the masses and relieve pain. They can also be applied to your body to draw out cold, and in some cases can be used as a whole treatment for certain disorders.
Chinese Herbs
I use Chinese Medicines, if necessary, as an adjunct to the acupuncture treatments I will be giving you to aid your body to heal as quickly as possible.Chinese herbal medicine takes an wholistic approach to understanding normal function and disease processes and focuses as much on the prevention of illness as on the treatment.In addition to providing effective treatment for a wide range of health disorders, Chinese herbal medicine may also be used to assist with general health maintenance and disease prevention. By strengthening and enhancing normal body functions, the immune system is boosted and a general sense of well-being promoted.
Emotional Freedom Technique
EFT is an emotional version of acupuncture however in this therapy needles aren’t necessary. Instead, you stimulate well established energy meridian points on your body by tapping on them with your fingertips while you say affirmations to deal with any negative emotions you may have.
The EFT Discovery Statement says….
“The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system.”
And because our physical pains and diseases are so obviously connected with our emotions the following statement has also proven to be true….
“Our unresolved negative emotions are major contributors to most physical pains and diseases”
Neuro Emotional Technique
Emotions such as fear, anger, grief and many others can negatively affect us long after the original event that cased them. When our body fails to "let go" of these emotions we can find ourselves with unexplained aversions, self-sabotaging behaviors, destructive beliefs, phobias and many chronic physical problems!
While emotions are perfectly normal, they sometimes produce behaviors years later that are counterproductive to our health. The Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) approach helps you to identify, and let go of, "stuck" emotional patterns which are causing you grief in many areas of your life.netmindbody.com

Testimonials
Having suffered significant traumatic fractures of both legs, feet and ankles, including my left knee in 1991, and both legs once more in 2001, I was not surprised to find that I was starting to suffer significant (and sometimes crippling) pain in my lower back. These recent symptoms I put down to varied leg lengths, as I had not suffered such pain after the injury in 1991 or lower back pain of any significance at any time in my life before 2001. I was disappointed that the search for relief through physiotherapy and medically was giving no result, knowing that pain relieving medication is hazardous to one’s health and not a solution to the problem I wondered if there were other answers.
Emerging from one more period of bad lower back pain in late 2005 (not being able to stand straight, tie my shoe laces, bend or sit comfortably), I saw a roadside sign inviting those who suffered back pain to try Acupuncture. It was then that I met Christine, and found that after one treatment the pain was less invasive. Shortly after, that pain had been relieved. Subsequent treatments cured my scepticism, and the back pain has not returned. Indeed, I had no qualms recommending her services to others that I know who complained of suffering such pain.
Christine’s approach is always helpful, gentle and genuinely inquisitive as to one’s symptoms and improvements (in what can be quite stressful situations of chronic pain and discomfort). The effects of Japanese Acupuncture would appear to be powerful, painless and non-invasive in my experience, and good value for money; and I have no hesitation in recommending her services to others. Anthony M. (Ipswich)
Kim N. of Ipswich, writes, "I have suffered with headaches for most of my life and at the time of first going to Christine for acupuncture I was suffering from neck and shoulder pain which I had not had much relief from with other therapy.
The form of acupuncture Christine uses is very gentle and quite powerful. My neck and shoulder pain were relieved after a few treatments and after a few months of treatments I had no headaches and the problems I was experiencing with my period and the PMT I was suffering from had also subsided, I didn’t think to have treatment for these as I thought that what I was experiencing was normal, however I discovered on talking to Christine that it really wasn’t normal to have PMT or to experience problems with my periods.
