A different kind of Acupuncture.

Transformative Acupuncture is an approach focused on actively supporting and assisting your personal development and transformation.

I blend the Chakra Activation patterns of Esoteric Acupuncture with the Eight Extra Meridians (our initial blueprint), to offer a form of acupuncture that is ideal for healers, therapists or those working with meditation, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Yoga, western magical paths or other spiritual disciplines. It is also for those who have simply heard about it and feel drawn to having a treatment.

Although everyone's experience is unique, the following are common experiences from working with this approach:

• The resolving of long-standing patterns of behaviour, perception or health issues.
• A realigning of your sense of self identity.
• A greater sense of purpose as you shift closer to your core intentions.
• Access to new states of consciousness and awareness.
• Changes in and a deepening of your existing practice.

Acupuncture for Personal Growth and Development.

Transformative Acupuncture is a genuinely transformative approach for resolving deep seated patterns, traumas and depressions; helping to reverse a loss of vitality and supporting the healing of mental-emotional imbalances.

This can include untying the lasting impact of past traumas, seeing and releasing habitual and repetitive patterns of thought, perception and behaviour, or exploring how this offering can support and augment your existing spiritual practice or inclinations.

Obsessions, imbalances, subtle habits that get in our way; all can be signs of where we might need some attention. Untying these energetic knots can not only free up energy and vitality within us but it helps us to return to our 'true shape' of who we are meant to be; fulfilling our destiny.

Acupuncture to Support Your Spiritual Practice.

The patterns of Transformative Acupuncture support your own inner work and practice and assist with accessing other states of consciousness inline with your practice.

Transformative Acupuncture uses Esoteric Acupuncture Patterns to work with each of the chakras to awaken and support the functioning of these energy centres. These are interspersed with sessions using a deeper set of meridians known as the Eight Pre-Natal Meridians, to help reconnect us to our true nature and help to reset and balance our physical and emotional selves. In this way the more subtle energies of the chakra patterns become grounded and balanced in our physical bodies.

What are treatments like?

Unlike in traditional acupuncture, in Esoteric Acupuncture, the needles are inserted only very superficially. The intention is not to elicit a physical response but to create a pattern which works on a more subtle level. Sessions can be very powerful and feel very different from a traditional acupuncture treatment. (See the Treatment Guidance Pages for more detailed information on what happens in a treatment session and afterwards)

Needle Free Treatments.

If you prefer, I can use Essential Oils instead of acupuncture needles. A small drop of (diluted) Frankincense is placed on each point to build up the pattern or to open the Extraordinary Meridians. You can swap between using needles and Essential Oils as you wish. Let me know before a treatment if you would like this style of application.

Transformative, Spiritual or Esoteric Acupuncture (as it is usually known), is still little known and not widely available in the UK.
