Traditional Acupuncture
A personalised approach to restoring balance
Traditional acupuncture is a holistic treatment that considers you as a whole, rather than focusing solely on individual symptoms. By taking the time to understand your health, lifestyle and personal circumstances, each treatment can be tailored to what you need at that particular point in time.
Using very fine needles placed at carefully selected points on the body, acupuncture aims to support the body’s natural processes, encourage balance and promote overall wellbeing. Whether you are seeking support for a particular concern or simply looking to feel more balanced in yourself, Jennifer provides a calm, considered and completely individual approach to treatment.
Facial Acupuncture
A natural approach to looking & feeling refreshed
Facial cosmetic acupuncture offers a gentle, natural approach to skin health and ageing, working with the body’s own processes to help the complexion look brighter, fresher and more revitalised. Ultra-fine needles are carefully placed at selected points on the face and body to encourage circulation and support the skin’s natural repair processes.
Rather than treating the face in isolation, Jennifer takes your overall health and wellbeing into consideration, recognising that factors such as stress, sleep, hormones and lifestyle can all influence how your skin looks and feels. Treatment can help support concerns including fine lines, dull or tired-looking skin, puffiness, facial tension and uneven skin tone.
The aim isn’t to dramatically change the way you look, but to support healthier-looking skin and help you feel like a refreshed, more radiant version of yourself.

Frequently asked questions
What is Traditional Acupuncture Therapy?
Traditional Acupuncture Therapy is a treatment based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It involves the insertion of very fine, sterile needles into specific acupuncture points to help restore the body's natural balance, encourage healing, and promote overall wellbeing.
How does it work?
It stimulates the nervous system
When a needle is inserted, it activates sensory nerves in the skin and muscles. Those nerve signals travel to the spinal cord and brain, where they can:
- Reduce the transmission of pain signals.
- Activate areas of the brain involved in pain control.
- Trigger the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals.
It releases the body's natural painkillers
Acupuncture has been shown to increase the release of substances such as:
- Endorphins (the body's natural opioids)
- Enkephalins
- Serotonin
- Norepinephrine
These chemicals can reduce pain and improve mood.
Does acupuncture hurt?
Most people are surprised by how comfortable acupuncture is. The needles are extremely fine, and many people feel little more than a slight tingling, warmth, heaviness or dull ache when they are inserted. Many patients also find the treatment deeply relaxing.
What conditions can Acupuncture help with?
Traditional Acupuncture is commonly used to support a wide range of conditions, including back and neck pain, headaches and migraines, stress and anxiety, digestive issues, sports injuries, women's health concerns, poor sleep, and general wellbeing. Your practitioner will discuss whether acupuncture is appropriate for your individual needs.
