MY TRUE PASSION LIES IN THE POWER OF CHINESE MEDICINE & THE FIVE ELEMENTS, AS A WAY OF TAPPING INTO THE TRUE NATURE OF MY PATIENTS. I GIVE YOU THE SPACE & PERMISSION TO BE YOUR TRUE SELF, WHILST ENSURING BALANCE & AN ABUNDANCE OF ENERGY WITHIN YOUR ELEMENT, SO YOU CAN LIVE FROM THIS PLACE OF STRENGTH.
Hello, I’m Rhiannon. I am a traditional acupuncturist & element coach. I work with successful & driven, hard workers, who have busy schedules that can take their toll on bodies, emotions & stress levels. Does this sound like you? I can help you to live from a calm, healthy & empowered space, by tapping into your innate energetic strengths, in a balanced & harmonised way, with acupuncture &/or coaching.
I have just THE most gigantic passion for Five Element Acupuncture, & have experienced first hand how life-changing this type of acupuncture can be in terms of really clicking you back into yourself again, particularly if you have been suffering with pain, illness, overwhelming emotions, or high stress levels for a while. I know what it feels like to be in this space, & how scary it can be if you’re in it alone.
During my time in the advertising industry, I suffered with recurrent tonsillitis every other week, I had migraines, I was exhausted, miserable, depressed, anxious, stressed out & emotionally all over the place. My body was screaming out that I was not in the right place for me, but also that I needed extra support.
I had acupuncture to boost my energy, calm my fears, get my body healthy again, but most importantly, to connect me back to my true self – what I wanted from my life, what my purpose was on this planet. I also valued the sacred space in which to talk about all these things in the treatment room. This is ultimately what led me to retrain as an acupuncturist (& later on, as a coach). You can read more about it in my FREE ebook, here.
Because I know EXACTLY how it feels to need that extra support, I use both both modalities, separately or in combination, to help bring calm, balance, wellbeing, clarity, forward movement & more connection to yourself. I have a special interest in the holistic treatment of emotional issues within the context of the individual patient.
For me, as an acupuncturist first & foremost, it’s all about the flow of energy or Qi – which is why Co-Active coaching has become such a natural & seamless addition to my clinical practise, as it too focuses on getting in touch with the movement of energy within your body, what FEELS good in your life & what doesn’t.
Situations, thoughts, people, challenges, emotions, & so on, all have different energies. Different energy moves differently in our bodies & has different impacts upon us – our immune system & health, levels of physical pain, our happiness, our wellbeing, balance & fulfilment.
I have been able to use my acupuncturist’s Five Element structure, alongside CTI’s Co-Active model, to really see that our natural ways of being, our default settings, our energetic norms – in other words, our Element or CF – can get in the way of our dreams, our potential, our health & our happiness.
It allows me a short-cut to understanding where your individual blocks or sticking points might be – both in the context of acupuncture, &/or coaching. Acupuncture moves & boosts energy with needles, to create harmony within the body; coaching moves energy with talking, physical movement & powerful questions, to move you towards balance & fulfilment.
That is why I want to work with people like you, so we can work with depth & insight into what’s going on for you right now, on every level… We can look at what habits, behaviours, blocks or emotions are stopping you from living your best life. And you won’t be doing it alone – together we can bring balance & power back into your life – are you ready?
