Holistic Therapies with Jane
Hi, my name is Jane and I am a fully qualified acupuncturist. I trained for 3 years at the Northern College of Acupuncture in York, graduating with a BSc Acupuncture in 2022. I am a member of both the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) and the Association of Community and Multibed Acupuncture Clinics (ACMAC).
Acupuncture is one of the oldest and widely used forms of medicine and it is effective in treating a wide range of health conditions. It works by harnessing the body’s natural healing resources to regain balance and wellness.
**NEW PATIENTS – A minimum of 60 minutes is required for your first appointment. This allows adequate time for a full initial consultation and a more effective treatment plan. 45 minutes is fine for follow-up sessions.**

Frequently Asked Questions
How Does Acupuncture Work?
Acupuncture meridians are energetic channels that run throughout the body creating links between the organs, bones and tendons. They contain energy known as Qi (pronounced Chee)
When Qi gets blocked or becomes stagnant, it can cause complications which affects both physical and emotional well-being. Acupuncture points are small areas under your skin where Qi gathers, creating energetic pools that are accessible with acupuncture needles.
What Does Acupuncture Treat?
Whereas the focus of western medicine is to treat symptoms associated with a particular illness, acupuncture treats the individual and not the disease. What this means is that each person experiences a unique set of circumstances that contribute to the relative state of disease and wellness. Each treatment is fine-tuned to treat each individual in the specific way that they need to be treated, based on the signs, symptoms, and circumstances they display. Based on this perspective, acupuncture can treat anything from pain to emotional disorders to hormonal imbalances by tailoring each treatment in a way that will benefit the fundamental capacity for health unique to each person.
Do I Have to Be Sick in Order to Receive Acupuncture?
Acupuncture does not only treat disease but also treats the mind, body and spirit of each individual person by enhancing digestion, relaxation, sleep, circulation and psycho-emotional processes. Acupuncture is a highly effective form of prevent medicine through it’s ability to promote and maintain homeostasis.
Does it Hurt? Is It Sterile?
Acupuncture needles are much finer than other needles that you may be used to. They are sterile, individually packaged and disposed of after each treatment. The sensations a person may feel upon insertion range from barely noticeable to a slight pinch. Acupuncture typically does not hurt and tends to promote a very comfortable, relaxed state in most people.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Acute issues may resolve within just a few treatments, while chronic conditions tend to take longer to treat. Chinese medicine regards states of health and disease as unique to each person, tailoring treatment guidelines towards individual differences in response to treatment. It is recommended to initially commit to 6 sessions to evaluate efficacy and reassess treatment goals. It is important to allow however much time is needed to achieve your optimal healing.
How Long Does a Treatment Take?
The first appointment consists of a thorough intake and a treatment that may last up to 90 minutes. This will include taking your history, listening to your concerns and answering your questions as well as formulation of comprehensive mind-body-spirit assessment and diagnosis. Follow-up appointments include a shorter intake and treatment.
