Acupuncture is the practice of inserting fine needles into specific points on the body in order to activate healing, alleviate pain, and restore homeostasis. Acupuncture is an ancient medicine, originating in China some 3000 years ago. It is a holistic and safe form of healthcare that is recognized as an effective treatment for a wide variety of conditions. Whether you have an acute injury or are suffering from a longer-term health concern, acupuncture can offer help that works synergistically with any other healthcare modalities you are employing on your wellness journey.

Acupuncture essentially removes energetic blockages in the communication pathways between all parts of the body – the brain and
nervous system, organs, glands and tissues. Breakdown of this neural, circulatory, biochemical and electrical flow of information results in
subpar health: injuries that won’t heal, lack of energy or mental clarity, digestive issues, menstrual irregularities, poor sleep, depression, anxiety
or frequently getting ill, to name just a few. In today’s modern lifestyle, the root causes of a stuck pattern of disrupted energy flow are often
incompatible diet, stress and emotional imbalance, or physical trauma/injury. Philippa works together with her patients in identifying
and correcting these underlying causes, which is part of the treatment protocol and healing process.

Acupuncture can help with -
headaches
anxiety and depression
sleep quality
irritable bowl syndrome
digestion disorders
back, neck and joint pain
reproductive health
PMS and female health
and so much more!
