Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine
Acupuncture is a traditional healthcare system based on ancient principles which go back nearly two thousand years. It is a positive model of good health and function, and looks at pain and illness as signs that the body is out of balance. The overall aim of an acupuncture treatment is to restore the body’s equilibrium.
There are many different schools of acupuncture, which vary slightly in needling style and their diagnostic techniques but all concentrate on improving overall wellbeing by treating the root cause of an illness as well as relieving symptoms.
Nikki has trained under some of the great Acupuncture masters and teachers of the 21st Century. These include Master Tung, Dr Richard Tan, Dr Stephen Birch, Tsuyoshi Shimamura, Dr Masaaki Nakano and the great Kiiko Matsumoto. This collective wisdom and training gives Nikki many different tools in her toolbox to treat a great many things.

NET
Neuro Emotional Technique is a technique used to help your brain process stress in a more efficient manner.
If the brain struggles to process a stressful memory completely, it has been observed that similar, less severe situations can trigger a similar, inappropriate response or by long term impact on our physical health. Finding that memory and giving the brain a chance to process it can relieve the underlying associated pattern of stress.
NET is not a counselling technique but rather looks to address changes in the body’s response to stress. If you feel like you may not be effectively handling stress, or that past events are impacting your health, book an appointment to see if NET could help you.
