Acuneeding™ and Moxibustion

What is acuneedling™?

Acuneedling™ is a form of acupuncture performed by a midwife.

The ancient practice of acupuncture has been around for thousands of years. Acuneedling™ involves the use of needles to stimulate specific points on the body, to create balance and flow of ‘Qi’ or energy.

As an Acuneedling™ Midwife, Alex is qualified to support you within the scope of pregnancy, birth & postpartum, to help with common pregnancy discomforts and preparation for birth and beyond.

Alex has trained under Dr Kate Levett and Heidi Willams.
