Finding balance, health & vitality with acupuncture…

The way of nature

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese healing therapy that has been used for thousands of years.

It aims to re-balance body disharmonies by the insertion of very fine needles into specific points, located along energy pathways, known as meridians.

These points, when needled, access the body's energy flow (Qi) and promotes the body's natural healing response by dispersing energy blockages, strengthening areas of deficiency and improving physiological functions of the body, as well as the mind, emotions and spirit. It also promotes relaxation and a greater sense of wellbeing.  Other associated methods may be combined with Acupuncture to enhance its effects, such as moxibustion (for warming) or Cupping (for clearing heat and stimulating circulation)

Acupuncture is a part of the whole, it considers lifestyle, diet, exercise and focuses on both your presenting symptoms and the root cause. It is a safe highly effective treatment and people come to me for help in a wide range of issues.

Here are some of the common conditions I regularly see in Acupuncture clinic:

  • Stress or Anxiety

  • Migraines or tension headaches

  • Back pain, Sciatica, knee pain

  • Digestive issues such as IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) 

  • Post traumatic shock

  • Insomnia

  • Depression

  • Asthma or hay fever

  • Menstrual pain, PMS, fibroids and other Gynaecological issues

  • Menopause symptoms

  • High blood pressure

  • Night sweats 

  • Sports injuries

  • Fibromyalgia 

  • Chronic fatigue, or lack of energy

Or for some people it is just feeling out of balance or struggling with complaints that do not have a diagnosis label.

Words of gratitude…

  • “I want to say thank you so much, your offerings have really made such a difference to me and helped me to travel further along my healing journey. There is such a depth and care to everything you are doing that creates space and safety for people to grow and bloom - thank you. It is really valuable and enriching.”

    Steph Walker (Musician & Eco-therapist)

  • “Similarly, to the last cacao experience 'with you', I found last weekend's ceremony extremely powerful and transformational.... I’ve attended many spiritual gatherings and events over the last 20 plus years and I’ve been lucky enough to be in the presence of some excellent facilitators. You are without doubt one of the best space holders I’ve ever encountered'.”

    Lisa Howard (Clinical and Well-being Lead for Speech & Language Therapists)

  • “Thank you so much for all you do, you create an awesome powerful space and group. During the letting go meditation in the Cacao Ceremony, I had a big shift, I felt totally different and my mindset and a bit of negativity towards men seemed to vanish. I was very surprised by the shift.... amazing thanks again.”

    Jennifer Atherton (Psychotherapist)

  • “I have done many personal growth and healing workshops over the years. With this in mind, it should get easier each time but I always feel anxious and apprehensive. That said, when I first met Zena, I was disarmed. She is a person who radiates kindness and compassion. I knew that I was in a safe space if I suddenly became vulnerable. I experienced painful feelings during this workshop but Zena was there to guide and assist throughout. I would recommend Zenas workshop to both men and women, regardless of age, particularly if they know they need healing but are resistant to reaching out... Zena is a rare person and one I suspect is on the cusp of becoming an important spiritual practitioner. This messed up world needs more people like her.”

    Steve Timms (Writer)

  • “Just to say, as a fellow Shamanic Practitioner who has journeyed with many medicines... I HIGHLY recommend Zena's ceremonies. She holds an incredible space for those journeying with Kambo, safe and powerful support for an intense and worthwhile inner cleanse and exploration.”

    Amanda Love Lyons

  • “It isn't easy to find words to express my thanks and recommendation of Zena. Over the seventeen years I have known Zena, I have benefited hugely from her gentle wisdom and healing in various ways. I have never ceased to be amazed at the continually renewed fountain of her learning and wide-ranging skills. From regular individual healing and massage, Cacao Deva contemplation, to Sweat Lodge, she is second to none. Zena listens attentively to both the human and the sacred voice. So, when I interact with her, I know she has them both at heart and in her actions. Zena has provided an essential space which always revitalises me and replenishes my energy. Thank you, Zena.”

    Dee McConnell ( Artist, Art Psychotherapist & Researcher)

  • “I’ve seen various acupuncturists over the years, and Zena has by far been the best. We have successfully worked on breathing and sleep issues, as well as improving my overall energy levels. I’ve found her to be extremely knoweledgeable and nuanced in her approach. She takes the time to really listen and understand, and works with me not only to alleviate symptoms but also to prevent issues by supporting overall health. Zena combines warmth and personality with a strong sense of professional integrity. I would highly recommend her”

    Damian Grainer (Psychotherapist)

  • ‘In my personal experience, Zena is the best acupuncturist I have come across. I have also received Mindfulness Based inner Re-patterning sessions and bodywork. All have been so helpful in my life. Zena will hold any space with true compassion and gentleness. I have felt completely supported and safe emotionally every single time. I feel a deep trust in her and knew she would be the right person to receive my first Kambo session. Kambo has been the most extraordinary experience and I would not have had it with anybody else, receiving kambo in my own home made it even better. I absolutely recommend Zena for any treatment’

    Ms Aurora

  • “ I went to see Zena for a recurrent muscular pain from a long standing injury. I had previously been warned of taking drugs because of the certainty that I would become addicted, so I sought out Acupuncture.  I am impressed by Zena’s attention to detail, and to me. Her  treatment had immediate lasting effect.”

    Ian Yeomans (Retired Photo-Journalist)

  • “I have attended Zena’s weekly relaxation for years, both in person and online. Having a disability the online classes have been fantastic for me, making it totally accessible. With a busy life, I love it that for an hour each week I can relax and focus on me. During the class I find it so helpful to be guided by Zena’s calm voice, with breath and movement, we learn to drop deeper into being aware and present to our bodies, I enjoy the Chinese Medicine aspects Zena brings to the class. It helps me to visualise my internal world. After our sessions I am calmer, more grounded with a feeling of gratitude and contentment”

    Rebecca S

  • “Zena always approaches things with such kindness and deep knowledge. I have gone to Zena for Acupuncture for different reasons over the last 20 years and she never fails to support me in the way I need, it’s like she has an inner knowing of what I need at that moment. I’m forever grateful for the treatment and support Zena provides”

    Caroline Bailey (Mental Health Nurse and Yoga Teacher)

  • Thank you Zena for all you have taught me over the years from Relaxation sessions and Mindfulness based Inner Re-patterning Therapy. I hear your voice so often, when I teach meditation and in my own personal practice. Words can’t express how influential your teachings have been for me. You have literally changed my life and I will forever be grateful.

    Alex

  • I have been receiving Acupuncture from Zena for about 10 years now. Since childhood I have had issues with asthma and my skin. These come and go with the stresses and strains of life. Zena has assisted me in finding balance, enabling me to reduce and eliminate my asthma medication. Her knowledge of health and TCM goes beyond what is required of an acupuncturist, her advice has helped me in numerous ways.

    Her professionalism and attentive presence helps to put you at ease, which enables you to relax into the whole process. I recommend her without reservation, to anyone wishing to improve their health, increase vitality and restore balance in their system.
