Holistic Approach
Five element treatments are generally not symptomatically based, but have the aim that by treating the person as a whole and the underlying cause of imbalance, all other symptoms will then in-turn become restored to their natural state (for a list of conditions often initially presented for restoring see the Promo page).
Special Interests
My initial interest in acupuncture came from looking for an alternative to what was being offered to help with the chronic tinnitus and debilitating, visually impaired migraines I was experiencing. As a result of looking into Chinese Medicine and after receiving treatment, I now virtually no longer have migraines. And the tinnitus, even though I now know it can't be totally cured, is at least manageable and it was just such a huge relief to know Chinese Medicine actually recognised the cause of this condition.
Fertility and Stress
Since training and becoming an acupuncturist, I am now also extremely interested in fertility and stress related issues, especially as stress can be the root cause of why we may be unable to function according to how Nature intended, with infertility being one such example of this. Moreover, it is for this very reason why five element acupuncture can be particularly so successful restoring harmony and wellbeing, thus allowing couples to be in the best condition by which they can then conceive, even if this is achieved through assisted means.
Lifestyle advice is also provided, ensuring the process remains a shared experience, whereby both partners make any necessary changes and do everything they can to try and conceive and maintain their health. One such factor being aiming to reduce stress levels and unnecessary pressures that can prevent this from happening, as the aim should still idealy be for it to remain as enjoyable as possible with the whole journey becoming a wonderful experience. Therefore, treatment can continue during and after pregnancy aiming to ensure everyone remains in the best of health. Furthermore, acupuncture can greatly help couples deal with any emotional upset experienced throughout this whole process.

Telling Testimonial
I initially visited Andrew to help recover from a broken ankle. Although I had been out of plaster and off crutches for 5 weeks I still felt a reasonable amount of pain and discomfort & was extremely fed up with it.
Andrew recommended 1 session a week for 4 weeks. At the end of the 4 weeks the improvement was tremendous. My ankle had recovered to the extent that I was rarely aware of any discomfort & I was back running.
But of even greater value than the improvement in my ankle was the feeling of general wellbeing and energy.
For anyone who has a stressful working life (and who doesn’t!) one of the biggest assets you can have is good energy levels.
The acupuncture sessions have given me a tremendous improvement in energy levels.
I have also noticed I am moving towards a much healthier work-life balance and no longer wish to do the ridiculously long hours I used to put in.
Since acupuncture is all about rebalancing I can only imagine this stemmed from the sessions. Although I had not mentioned this to Andrew as something I wanted to change I now see how much happier I am for having reduced my working week.
I have had such tremendous benefit from the treatment and will continue having them on a regular basis. For anyone concerned about any pain factor you literally feel a 2 second discomfort. There is certainly no pain.
Kind regards
