The underlying philosophy of Five Element Acupuncture understands that the entire universe is made up of one vital life force (qi) manifesting as five distinct elements: water, wood, fire, earth and metal. When the elements are balanced, order is maintained. When there is an imbalance, symptoms appear. By diagnosing the cause of imbalance in an individual, the Five-Element acupuncturist affects the flow and strength of energy found at the acupuncture points.

What is Five Element Acupuncture?
Five-Element philosophy, theory and practice (acupuncture) is a spiritual tradition and a system of medicine that maintains the balance of the body, mind and spirit. This balance sustains our natural intelligence and promotes a peaceful and harmonious way of life. During treatments Sophie clears stubborn energy blocks and restores the natural order using warmth (moxa) and fine needles.
People come for help when they are struggling with physical and emotional symptoms, feel out of sorts or stuck in a rut. In ancient China acupuncture was used for both chronic conditions as well as a preventative medicine. Five Element Acupuncture treats the underlying cause of all imbalance and reactivates the individuals ability to self-heal.
During treatments Sophie selects a unique blend of acupuncture points just for you with the aim of restoring balance and harmony at the mind, body and spirit level. Not only to help you heal, but also to evolve and be more resilient to future internal and external factors that threaten to cause ill health. To put it simply, Five Element Acupuncture puts you back in the driving seat of your own life.
What happens during a treatment?
At the first appointment Sophie will take a full health history, talk about what is bugging you most and discuss what you'd like to achieve from treatment. Then fine needles are inserted into carefully selected points on your body that will clear energy blocks. Usually a series of 4-6 weekly treatments is recommended to help you heal, get you back into balance, feeling more like your old self. Once you are in a stronger place, further monthly treatments are suggested to promote evolving and thriving, rather than just surviving. After that, seasonal treatments five times a year, protect against future imbalance, helping to prevent illness, so you can flow and grow with the seasons.
