What is Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient system of medicine based on the philosophy that our health and well-being is dependent on the smooth flow of our body’s Qi (pronounced chi), often described as life-force, vitality or energy. When this flow of Qi is imbalanced or blocked, pain and illness, whether this manifests physically or emotionally, can follow.

Ultra fine needles are inserted at precisely located points along interconnected pathways, called meridians, which map the whole body. These points connect with the body’s energy, Qi, to promote a natural healing reaction and a return to balance.

At Highgate Acupuncture, we combine Five Element and Traditional Chinese Medicine styles of acupuncture, enabling us to treat the whole person on a physical, mental and spiritual level.

People often find that as their condition responds to treatment other health problems start to resolve themselves, resulting in increased energy levels and an improved sense of well-being.

Five Element Acupuncture

Five Element theory teaches us that Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood represent our creative and controlling energies and that for a healthy, mind, body and spirit all five elements should be in balance. Each of us resonates more to one particular element and by supporting this element through acupuncture, we can achieve better health and harmony from within.

What patients say…

A holistic approach to fertility

Anthoula has supported me through several rounds of IVF. I found her to be a knowledgable and compassionate practitioner, and she provided the much needed holistic approach to my fertility journey. She checked in with me after our sessions and always managed to accommodate me with appointments. I have continued seeing her throughout my pregnancy and am in my third trimester now.

Anthoula is an amazing acupuncturist!

I am so glad I discovered her.

I suffer from severe tension headaches, back, shoulder and neck pain, and her treatments have been instrumental in helping me manage the pain and improve my overall health and well-being.

Her treatments are customised – for me targeted acupuncture and sliding cups. After the sessions, I always feel rejuvenated, more energetic and my muscles are more relaxed.

..Space in my life to feel deeply and truly relaxed

Acupuncture is one of the few ways I have managed to find the space in my life to feel deeply and truly relaxed.

Anthoula treated me throughout my pregnancy for symptoms such as anxiety, nausea, pelvic pain, itching and digestive issues. I find Anthoula’s kindness and her caring personality to be calming and containing.
