Acupuncture Treatments
Barbara's application of acupuncture is based on a holistic approach of using massage, cupping and herbs to achieve optimum therapeutic benefit to the client. Her techniques embrace Japanese and Chinese influences depending on the needs of the client.
The sessions are relaxing and diagnosis is based on an understanding of the way the body works as a whole. Acupuncture relies on a diagnosis made using tongue and pulse techniques along with touching and non-invasive examination of the skin. Questioning and taking a client history is part of a comprehensive process.
Barbara is currently undertaking a Masters of Acupuncture at the University of Western Sydney.

How does it work?
Small sterile acupuncture needles are inserted at various points once a diagnosis and treatment has been planned. This is discussed with the client to explain what has been discovered in diagnosis. The needles are usually left in the body for approximately 20 minutes, allowing the body time to heal itself. In Oriental Health Terms we are balancing Qi and Blood and restoring the body's own vitality and energy.
