Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body that regulate the nervous system, balance hormones, and promote relaxation. These treatments help activate the parasympathetic system (your rest and digest mode), reduce the fight-or-flight response, and support your emotional resilience.

Benefits of acupuncture for anxiety and stress may include:

• Reduced nervousness and panic

• Fewer muscle aches and tension headaches

• Lowered heart rate and blood pressure

• Improved mood and emotional stability

• Better concentration and mental clarity

• More restful, uninterrupted sleep

• Relief from physical symptoms like jaw clenching, chest tightness, or gut discomfort

• Reduced reliance on medication for some patients

This drug-free approach is suitable for long-term use and often complements other mental health treatments such as counselling or medication.

Our acupuncture team supports patients dealing with a variety of stress-related issues, including:

• Generalised anxiety and social anxiety

• Burnout and mental fatigue

• Work-related pressure or emotional overload

• Sleep issues, including insomnia or restless sleep

• Tension-related headaches or migraines

• Depression with associated physical symptoms

• Racing thoughts, irritability, or restlessness

• PMS or hormone-related mood swings

• Nervous digestion or stress-induced bloating

• Jaw tension (TMJ), shoulder tightness, or clenched fists

• Post-traumatic stress or emotional trauma

• Perfectionism and high-functioning anxiety patterns

Each session is adjusted to your current symptoms and long-term goals.

Sessions are calming and deeply relaxing. After a detailed discussion about your symptoms and lifestyle, your practitioner will select acupuncture points to promote balance, emotional release, and calmness.

Many patients report feeling lighter, calmer, or more grounded after treatment. Over time, sessions can help reduce how often anxiety arises and how intensely you experience it.

Unlike medications that may cause drowsiness or dependence, acupuncture offers a low-risk, natural alternative with minimal side effects. It can be used alongside therapy, mindfulness, lifestyle changes, or medication, and is safe for:

• Adults of all ages

• Teens and young adults

• Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals

• People with chronic illnesses or sensitivities

Our practitioners provide a supportive, non-judgmental space for your healing journey.
