When I was 29 years old I had a brain ‘pro function’ I was sat on a pleather sofa in my teeny and not so cosy Bow home after another crap day ‘at the office’ … I’d now been in the same state of anxiety induced from having to manage huge £500k budgets for soulless clients for too long. I had been having acupuncture myself on and off for 7 years, which in turn cured my migraines until my later pregnancies, and also cured my low level anxiety that thought was just a normal feeling for a girl in her 20s living in London, being burgled 3 times in 2 years. 

Even when receiving regular acupuncture, the job I was doing had me topped up in adrenal hell with long booze and drug fuelled weekends as my escapism from what just really stressed my nerves out so much. Sat on that sofa I signed up to go to an acupuncture course open day. I went, didn’t even listen to what she was telling me, how much, how long – I knew I was going to do it somehow alongside my freelance jobs and no regular income. 5 very long and plentiful years later I had graduated as a Traditional Chinese medicine acupuncturist & naturopath. Within that I had had my big awakening when I overheard another students story of her autistic son and how the MMR vaccine had caused him to digress at the age of 2, a walking toddler to a not walking non verbal toddler into his teens.  

I’ve never been someone who’s enjoyed being told what to do, so I had many hesitations already of the health system, vaccinations, western medicine. But this was the awakening I needed so that when I met my soon to be husband and then father of my first son, born just before I graduated and second born just before the plandemic – I knew it was geared to bringing them into a world and keeping them as clear and clean as possible from vaccines, medication, fluorides, crappy formula. Luckily their Dad, who isn’t awake at all agreed to everything I put to him in what the boys wouldn’t be having. And to this day through co-parenting,  they have still never had so much as a fluoride solution put in their mouths. 

That’s how studying acupuncture helped mine and my boys lives. Acupuncture itself changed my life in opening me up to a premise of healing that truly resonated with me. When I was learning about it and what it could do, I was like a nodding dog. I managed to intuitively work with this medicine for my clients with an innerstanding of its capabilities like I was a Tao Master practitioner in a past life … When I look at just about anything I translate it to what Chinese medicine would say and do about it.

For example…you’re craving sugar because you’ve been sick with worry over your current workload ~ this in turn has depleted your Spleen function (not western but Eastern Spleen function) and the Spleen craves sweet flavour when it’s depleted. So give it the natural sweets of stewed stone fruits, or sweeter veg – pumpkin, squash all in yellows and oranges – the colour of the Spleen. Furthermore, gently tap your left hand side just under your rib cage (where your Spleen is) and say ‘waaaah waahhhh’ to it sympathetically… The sound for the Spleen. 

That’s an example of where my mind goes when I hear a client or anyone mention their sugar cravings. It’s a wonderful journey through the body mind and spirit with Chinese Medicine as the curator! 

This has been my humble trade for the last 7+ years and I’ve treated just about everything from chronic migraines, infertility, single sex solo sperm donor mums to be doing IVF, smoking addictions, and dementia. I’ve seen ‘miracles’ happen in one session, babies turned from breach to optimal birth position. I’ve added another string to my bow more recently when I saw spinal energetics being performed. I knew, again, like the first time with signing up for the acupuncture open day, that the application I sent off for the first UK course in Spinal energetics would be accepted. And I was!

Three months after the course I am now practicing in something that goes to the deeper levels of what, to me, plant medicines in ceremony go to. It’s the perfect combo to be used alongside or in combination with acupuncture, and they both work on clearing and re balancing – on a basic level, but Spinal Energetics gets to the places you don’t consciously even know you need to go to. It meets you where you’re at. In the last year I’d been really struggling with my migraines again that acupuncture had cured a good 10 years before.

I think my hormonal changes had got better of me, and I wasn’t able to go and have weekly acupuncture with my own work and 2 children to be with. I always attributed my migraines to when my father was found out to be having affairs. That’s when they started so I always wanted to heal that, but in various ceremonies it or he never came up…and the migraines got louder.

After 2 sessions of spinal energetics (done to me) my migraines have not come back in 3 months. And I’d normally have had about 6 by now. The day of the second session, I walked out 45 mins later feeling like id just come out of an 8 hour mushroom ceremony and I had the beginnings of an aura migraine (when your vision goes funny) I quickly drank some coconut water and within 10 mins it had gone. A few days later I spoke to my mum and she told me that very strangely my Dad had had an aura migraine on the same Tuesday I had mine (I’d not told my Mum and my Dad doesn’t even get headaches).

Then I knew I and we had healed. And that’s the different spinal energetics made to my life in just two sessions. A trauma that sat so deeply in me has now been released. And I can go about my life so differently as these are all consuming and debilitating when they take hold. They have been my biggest distraction. 

These medicine modalities help me to become clear every time so that I can be of service to the clients that come to me. And that is my purpose, my path. This work enables me to be sovereign. I don’t work for anybody and I work with anybody who chooses me. 

So much gratitude for these teachings!
