Hi! I’m Roz, an Acupuncturist specialising in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Five Element acupuncture for patients of all ages.
My Approach
Every treatment reflects the patient’s needs in that moment, combining needling with gentle touch and other techniques.
Needling: Super fine needles are inserted at points across the body to engage the body’s natural ability to restore balance
Moxibustion: The common herb mugwort is burned at specific points to make use of its nourishing and warming properties
Cupping: Glass cups are placed over areas of tension and a vacuum is created with a flame to release tension held in the tissues
Gua Sha: A gua sha tool is used to create friction over the surface of the skin to draw out heat and move stagnation
Paediatric Acupuncture: Having trained in paediatric acupuncture, I offer gentle Chinese Medicine treatments for children as young as newborn. While treatments can involve needling if it feels appropriate, the emphasis is always on the child feeling safe, relaxed and at ease. Treatments can include ‘Tui na’ medical massage, acupressure and Japanese ‘Shonishin’ non-needling acupuncture.

If you have any questions or would like to learn a bit more about how acupuncture treatment would work for you or your child please do get in touch, I’m always happy to have chat.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
There is minimal sensation of needle insertion but patients often feel deqi: a mild ‘pulling’, ‘spreading’ or ‘tingling’ when the needle reaches the right depth. I also have a wide range of non-needling techniques that I draw on, particularly in paediatric practice.
-
For something more acute, you should see changes within 4 treatments. Often patients notice improvements even on the couch in the first treatment! For a chronic condition you might hope to see changes in 6-10 treatments. Chinese Medicine isn’t a quick fix but seeks to treat symptoms at the root cause to lead to long term improvements that empower you to take care of your health.
-
Yes! Chinese Medicine is a preventative approach to healthcare and always works to find the body’s natural balance to keep you in good health as time goes on.
