Annmarie does not offer musculoskeletal or sports injury treatment — this is a deliberate choice, not a limitation. Her expertise lies in the deeper, systemic work of Five Element Chinese medicine: the kind that transforms health from the inside out. If you're looking for sports acupuncture or back pain treatment, she is happy to point you in the right direction.
01. Menopause & Perimenopause
Hot flushes, night sweats, sleep disturbance, brain fog, anxiety and low mood are all signs that the body's natural rhythms are shifting. Chinese medicine works with that shift — not against it — offering real, lasting relief.
Can include
- ✦Hot flushes and night sweats
- ✦Sleep disruption
- ✦Mood changes and anxiety
- ✦Brain fog and fatigue
- ✦Low libido and dryness
02. Women's Hormonal Health
From the first period to the last, Chinese medicine has always understood the rhythms of the female body. Whether you are dealing with PMS, irregular cycles, endometriosis, PCOS or fertility concerns, Annmarie works to restore natural balance at the root level.
Can include
- ✦Irregular or painful periods
- ✦PMS and premenstrual mood changes
- ✦Endometriosis support
- ✦PCOS
- ✦Fertility and pre-conception care
03. Teenage Wellbeing
Teenage years bring enormous hormonal change. Annmarie works gently and sensitively with teenagers dealing with period pain, anxiety, emotional turbulence and the stresses of growing up.
Can include
- ✦Period pain and irregularity
- ✦Anxiety and stress
- ✦Emotional overwhelm
- ✦Sleep difficulties
- ✦Low energy and mood
04. Anxiety & Emotional Wellbeing
In Chinese medicine, anxiety is an expression of something held in the body. Annmarie addresses the physical patterns that underpin worry, overthinking, restlessness, and the kind of stress that never quite lets go.

- ✦Generalised anxiety
- ✦Stress and overwhelm
- ✦Restlessness and insomnia
- ✦Grief and emotional stuck-ness
- ✦Low mood
05. Sleep & Fatigue
When the body cannot rest — or cannot stop — Chinese medicine looks to the underlying imbalance. Whether you are exhausted but wired, or simply depleted, Annmarie will work to rebuild your reserves gently and sustainably.
Can include
- ✦Insomnia and broken sleep
- ✦Exhaustion and burnout
- ✦Wired but tired feeling
- ✦Difficulty switching off
- ✦Post-illness fatigue
06. General Wellness
You don't need to be suffering to benefit from acupuncture. Many of Annmarie's patients come simply to maintain their wellbeing — seasonal tune-ups, energy support, or to invest in their long-term health.
Can include
- ✦Seasonal health maintenance
- ✦Energy and vitality
- ✦Immune support
- ✦General stress reduction
- ✦Long-term preventive care
What to expect
First session (75 mins)
A full health history, questions about your life and constitution, and the beginning of a picture of you that goes well beyond the presenting complaint. Treatment begins in the same session.
Follow-up sessions (60 mins)
Follow-ups allow Annmarie to refine and deepen the treatment based on how you have responded. Most patients notice a meaningful shift within three to four sessions.
How often?
For acute or longstanding conditions, weekly sessions are recommended at first. As things improve, fortnightly or monthly maintenance is common — with many patients continuing seasonal check-ins long term.
Pricing
First session £60 · Follow-up sessions £55. A 48-hour cancellation policy applies.
