As part of holistic therapies, we provide acupressure and moxibustion treatments. These ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine therapies can be combined with reflexology sessions to improve your reproductive health.

Acupressure is an alternative medicine technique that involves applying gentle but firm pressure on certain sections of the hands and feet (sometimes including the wrists) that correspond to a body part that may be unbalanced. This is a type of pressure point therapy that originated in China more than 4,500 years ago.

Acupressure has the same principles of acupuncture; they stem from the belief that the body has qi (energy flow), from which life force comes from. In an ideal healthy body, qi should be able to circulate the body freely. For many people who are experiencing difficulty conceiving we find that certain areas in the body are stagnated (energy blockages).

Acupressure consists of pressing the acupuncture points with the aim of helping to free the flow of energy in the channel(s). Acupressure is similar to acupuncture, but the fingers are used to gently work the points instead of needles, making it ideal to combine with a reflexology treatment. If you are uncomfortable with the acupuncture process of using needles, acupressure is a non invasive, relaxing alternative.

A thorough consultation is conducted initially so I can learn all about your journey so far and help identify the cause of your fertility problems.

Moxibustion is a form of heat therapy originating from China that adds energy into the body. With acupressure, acupuncture and reflexology, existing energy is moved around the body, but with moxibustion it works to add energy to depleated organs and systems.

It is made from the Chinese or Japanese herb moxa and is applied with a smokeless moxa stick held an inch or two away from specific points on the body (mainly feet). It creates a gentle warming sensation that is comforting and deeply relaxing.

Moxa is frequently, and effectively, used to support a range of health issues. It helps to promote energy into depleated systems and is helpful for issues such as chronic pain, hormone imbalances, exhaustion and fatigue. Moxa is especially effective for infertility as it promotes blood flow and warmth to the reproductive organs and balances hormones. It removes stagnation from the uterus for conditions such as endometriosis and irregular menstrual cycle and can reduce period pains. It is a very safe and effective and enhances our acupressure and reflexology treatments.
