What is Acupuncture?

An effective treatment for a wide range of physical, emotional and psychosomatic symptoms. Viviane uses an integrated approach: 

Traditional Chinese Medicine and Five Element Acupuncture. 

This process is also alchemical because it reunites Yang and Yin, spirit and matter, mind and body and reorganises these split parts to form a new, and more efficient whole.

​

Traditional Chinese Medicine

Is a traditional system of healing presented in Taoist alchemical texts and early classical Chinese medical texts and practiced in ancient China. The original teachings includes Yin/Yang Theory, the Law of the Five Elements and the understanding of energy, called Qi. When Yin & Yang become imbalanced and Qi does not flow smoothly, illness may result. There may be many reasons for this imbalance: physical and emotional stress, poor nutrition or injury are among the most common. TCM focuses on addressing the physical symptoms as well as the root cause of the health imbalance.

Five Elements

Five Element acupuncture is more focused on treating the emotional aspect of the patient, where mood imbalances are the  patient's main complaint. This approach helps patients recover their sense of well being by lifting the level of conscious insight and imaginative vision that changes the way in which they relate with the world around them.

"After years of trying different pain medications and hormonal contraceptives to control the symptoms of endometriosis and PMS I decided to book in to try acupuncture. I was skeptical at first but I am now a huge fan of acupuncture! I couldn’t believe how quick I responded to treatment. For the first time ever, my menstrual cycle has regulated and the symptoms are much more manageable! After my sessions, I feel calm, positive and like a weight has been lifted! The sessions are personalised to target my specific needs and Viviane is always so caring and understanding. Viviane has been attentive at all times and really informative. If you are considering acupuncture, book the appointment, the results are so worth it!"
