Who Am I?
Sandra Webb BSc Lic Ac
Member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC)
My journey in healthcare began as a registered nurse for 15 years before moving into clinical research. During this time, I was curious about alternative therapies and so trained in reflexology, Indian head massage and Reiki. I am a licensed acupuncturist after completing my training at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine. I practise an integrated style of acupuncture encompassing Five Element and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
I have benefited from acupuncture for many years and have used Chinese Medicine in conjunction with western medicine treatments not only to treat illness, but to maintain wellbeing.
Why Choose Acupuncture?
Our lifestyle, diet, environment and emotions affect our health and manifest in physical conditions. Acupuncture works with the body to naturally treat many conditions and complaints and has been practised for more than 3000 years having been discovered to relieve symptoms of illness by treating the root cause.
Where there is no movement there is pain
Where there is movement there is no pain
(Traditional Chinese saying)
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Five Elements are holistic approaches which balance and regulate the body’s vital energy (qi) through the meridians – channels within the body where the qi flows – and organs.
The Five Elements are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water – we all resonate with one of these, each with its own quality of qi. When our qi is weakened or there is an excess, alterations impact our physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing – treating the Element is a powerful way to remedy the body and maintain equilibrium.
Your Treatment
Acupuncture treats you as a whole and requires a detailed understanding to tailor approaches and treatment. Your first appointment will last for 90 minutes, during this time I will establish a detailed history of your medical history, diet, sleep, lifestyle, emotional and mental wellbeing. I will also take your pulses and look at your tongue.
Subsequent treatments will last for 60 minutes. Diagnostic screening will be ongoing as treatment progresses.
I will insert very fine, single use sterilised needles into meridians to unblock channels and invigorate the flow of energy around the body – this will enable the body to heal.
In conjunction with acupuncture, I offer the following treatments:
Moxibustion is the burning of mugwart leaves (moxa) on or near your body’s meridians and acupuncture points to enhance the flow and strength of qi (energy). This treatment eliminates pathogens such as those that cause the common cold and is also used to help turn breech babies.
Glass cups are placed directly onto the skin to encourage a healthier blood flow, release fascia, reduce muscle tension and eliminate pathogens that are trapped in the body.
After applying an oil, a smooth-edged tool is used to scrape the skin to improve blood flow, reduce inflammation, release fascia and decrease muscle tension.
The ancient practice of this massage balances the flow of qi and encourages the body’s natural self-healing.
