1. Acupuncture for Pain Relief (Back pain, sciatica, joints, headaches & migraines) Is this right for me? If you’re living with ongoing pain — whether it’s back pain, sciatica, stiff joints, neck and shoulder tension, or recurring headaches — acupuncture is a supportive option, especially when pain feels persistent or hasn’t fully responded to other approaches.
People often come when pain is:
• chronic or recurring
• linked to stress or tension
• affecting sleep, mood, or daily life
Treatment is always tailored to you, not just the symptom.
Is it safe?
Yes. Treatments are gentle, unhurried, and carried out in a calm, private setting. Very fine, sterile needles are used, and many people find sessions deeply relaxing. Your comfort is always prioritised. You can opt for AcuPressure or Cupping if needles are at all daunting.
Everything is explained clearly, and nothing is done without your consent.
What happens next?
We begin with a thorough consultation to understand:
• the nature of your pain
• your overall health and energy
• factors that may be contributing
Treatment aims to reduce pain, improve circulation, calm the nervous system, and support your body’s natural healing response. ⸻
2. Acupuncture for Stress, Anxiety & Sleep Is this right for me? If your mind feels constantly busy, you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or struggling with sleep, acupuncture can help restore balance and calm. People often seek support for:
•anxiety or low mood
• poor or broken sleep
• tension, fatigue, or burnout
• feeling “wired but tired”
This approach looks at the whole person, not just symptoms.
Will I feel comfortable / safe?
Absolutely. Many people describe acupuncture as one of the few times they truly relax. Treatments are quiet, supportive, and adapted to how you’re feeling on the day. There is no pressure to talk beyond what feels comfortable. What happens next? Sessions focus on calming the nervous system, easing tension, and supporting restful sleep.
After treatment, people often notice:
• improved sleep quality
• reduced anxiety
• better resilience to stress
Treatment plans are flexible and reviewed regularly. ⸻
3. Women’s Health & Menopause Support Is this right for me?
Acupuncture can be supportive at many stages of a woman’s life, including during perimenopause and menopause. Women often come for help with:
• hot flushes and night sweats
• mood changes or anxiety
• sleep disturbance
• fatigue and brain fog
• hormonal imbalance
Each experience is different, and treatment is always individual.
What happens next?
Your first session includes time to explore your symptoms, health history, and what matters most to you. Treatment aims to support hormonal balance, improve sleep, and help you feel more like yourself again. Many women value having a natural, supportive approach alongside conventional care. ⸻
4. What to Expect From Your First Treatment - Is this right for me? If you’re curious about acupuncture but unsure what to expect, your first appointment is designed to answer questions, not rush into anything. You don’t need prior experience — everything is explained clearly. Will I feel safe? Yes. Your first session is unhurried and centred around your comfort. You’ll be treated in a calm, private environment, and you’re always in control. Needles are very fine, and most people feel little to no discomfort.
What happens next?
Your first visit includes:
• a detailed consultation
• discussion of your health and concerns
• a tailored acupuncture treatment
Afterwards, we’ll talk through:
• how you may feel
• what to expect next
• whether further sessions would be helpful
There’s no pressure — just clear, honest guidance. ⸻

My name is Fariba and I am a qualified practitioner of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (CICM Reading, Lic Ac. BSc Hons, MBAcC).
I became interested in Chinese Medicine when I was seeking treatment for family allergies and injuries, and discovered the broad benefits of treating people holistically. Earlier, I myself had a positive experience when I was trying for a baby and so this combined with the results with my daughter influenced me to study Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, specifically 5 Element and TCM variants.
I have discovered that it not only alleviates illnesses and pain, but also has strong bearings on the mental, emotional and spiritual well being of an individual.
