Approach
In Chinese medicine, health is understood as interconnected
Symptoms that may seem unrelated can often be part of a broader pattern, offering insight into how the body is functioning as a whole. At Valley Acupuncture, I see you as more than a set of symptoms. While the aim of your treatment is to ease the concerns that bring you in, I will also focus on supporting your body’s overall function and balance.
Each session is personalised to your individual presentation, and alongside acupuncture we may discuss simple lifestyle changes that can help support your wellbeing over time. By looking at the bigger picture, we work together to encourage your body’s natural ability to restore harmony and promote long-term health.

Fire cupping involves placing warmed glass cups on the skin to create gentle suction. It can ease muscle tightness, support circulation and lymphatic flow, and encourage relaxation. Temporary circular marks may appear but usually fade within a few days.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses very fine, sterile needles placed at specific points to support the body’s natural balance. Treatments are tailored to your individual needs and may help with pain, stress, sleep, and general wellbeing. Many people find the process calming and restorative and even drift off to sleep.
Moxa uses the warming herb mugwort, held near the skin to gently warm specific areas. This traditional technique is often paired with acupuncture to support circulation, ease discomfort, and provide a sense of relaxation.
Cosmetic acupuncture is a gentle, natural therapy that uses very fine needles on the face and body. Treatments are tailored to support circulation, relaxation, and the body’s natural collagen response, while also addressing overall health and wellbeing. Because cosmetic acupuncture works both locally and holistically, it’s about supporting inner balance as well as helping you feel refreshed on the outside.
Gua sha uses a smooth-edged tool drawn across the skin to release tension and support circulation. It may leave temporary marks that fade within days, but many people find it relieving and invigorating.
