Five Element Acupuncture changes lives. It gets to the source of the problem and treats you as a whole person, not just your individual parts. Weekly treatments with Sophie restore you to health by clearing stubborn energy blocks, redirecting the flow of energy and replenishing reserves. Five Elements is a style of acupuncture based on natural laws and an understanding that the Universe is made of Five Elements: Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal.

Fire Cupping enhances circulation, speeds up muscle recovery, encourages blood flow, boosts the immune system, removes toxins, reduces pain, calms the nervous system, and has anti-inflammatory effects. It feels great, like being held in a comforting, tight hug. if fire is not your thing alternative plastic sports cups can be used.

Sophie treats patients on Thursday afternoons, Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons and evenings in the Little Acupuncture Room at the West Oxford Community Centre situated on the Botley Road in Oxford. There is free parking on site and Tumbling Bay Cafe serves delicious home-cooked food. Why not visit the historic Tumbling Bay bathing place behind Botley Park before or after treatment?
