Acupuncture
Acupuncture has provided me with a deeper understanding of how life-giving an optimal flow of energy, essence and blood is within the body. It brought me back to safety within my own physical body and brought immense clarity, after nervous conditions and different manifestations of burnout.
Since beginning my work within the world of Chinese Medicine I’ve witnessed some of the most life threatening diseases, chronic stress, post-traumatic stress, severe jaw pain and anxiety ameliorated through a realigning of energy or Qi. The needles help you to help yourself, with a more grounded connection to your meridian channels, extremities and inner workings.
How does acupuncture work?
Energy, or "life force" flows through the body in channels called meridians. Acupuncture utilises ultra-fine hair-like needles to stimulate these channels within the body to move blood/Qi and send messages to the brain that alters brain chemistry. As a result, the body’s natural pain-killers are increased (opiates, endorphins and dopamine) to reduce inflammation, reduce pain, and balance hormone levels.
How can acupuncture assist you?
It’s a highly effective treatment for not only pain relief, but also for thousands of other conditions such as post-traumatic stress, grief/sadness, physical overexertion, addiction, IBS, fatigue, insomnia and chronic pain (neck, shoulder, jaw, migraines). A course of acupuncture generally creates longer lasting pain relief and increased vagal tone than when a single treatment is used.
What types of treatment do you offer?
UNFOLD Pain, UNFOLD Stress, UNFOLD Hormones, and UNFOLD Gut are the most common treatments I administer to treat chronic pain (migraines, neck, shoulder, jaw), nervous conditions (stress, anxiety, insomnia), women’s health (PCOS, PMS symptoms, fertility), and digestive issues (IBS, bloating, indigestion).
How will I feel afterwards?
You should feel a minimum of calm and relaxed after the first treatment. Some people report feeling lighter, some fall asleep, some say it’s like a meditation and some have peaceful visualisations. I always advise to avoid alcohol 24 hours pre and post treatment to avoid interfering with the energy flow and leave the evening or afternoon free for chilling out.
how often should I get acupuncture?
In general, once a week or fortnightly should do the trick. Get acupuncture once a month at the minimum to use it preventatively.

“The studio is a calming and peaceful sanctuary, a true reflection of Georgie herself. I came to Georgie because of my skin and sleeping problems and got rewarded with my patience on the acupuncture journey. My skin improved so much, I could not believe it. Acupuncture combined with Georgie’s recommendations like specific skincare and food adjustments, to name just a few have made such a difference. It really shows her holistic approach to healing. Georgie is not only somebody who works her magic, but who truly cares! Whenever I get stressed I hear her in my head saying: ‘and breathe deeply into the belly’ and then I know all is okay.”
“Georgie is such a lovely, calm presence to be around and is clearly so passionate and knowledgable about acupuncture and holistic wellbeing. I always look forward to our sessions together and feel so relaxed and more grounded afterwards. ”
“Georgie has such a calming and warm presence about her that you instantly feel held from your first interaction. After our first session, I felt more grounded and a sense of calmness I hadn’t felt in years. The tightness in my chest from my anxiety and the severe pain from my endometriosis subsided over the course of our sessions and the combination of yin yoga and acupuncture allowed me to feel more present in my body. She provided me with breathing practices I could bring into my everyday life to manage my stress and anxiety levels. Georgie truly is a wonderful human, healer and confidant. I can’t recommend her or her practice enough.

“I have really bad carpel tunnel and shoulder pain. I have had body acupuncture before, but never on my ears. I didn’t know if it would have the same results. But, wow the results were even better. After my first session I just felt my body more. All the tension was just released and it got better. I kept on seeing her for my tension and to help with my anxiety and sleep. I cannot reccomend her enough, she is truly a healer. Her energy is so calming and she makes you feel so comfortable.”
“Georgie came into my wellness routine at a time when I needed it the most. It’s allowed me to practice a state of calm and presence that plays a part in my every day life now and I couldn’t recommend it more to anyone looking for an alternative treatment for high levels of stress or anxiety. It’s not only a temporary treatment, but really a long lasting effect that shifts your perspective on what it means to be present and find calm as a mental state - alongside, the physical soothing effects of auricular acupuncture. It is now one of my favourite ways to relax and find balance and I will always recommend Georgie to all my friends.
”
“In a world where the quick fix reigns supreme I would urge you down a different path. I see Georgie for acupuncture once a week and she skilfully ascertains what needs to be fine tuned. From anxiety to neck pain to migraines Georgie patiently works with me, and there are no words to thank her enough for how much she has helped.”
“Georgie has helped me so much in understanding my emotions and why these feelings were coming about. The combination of yin yoga and acupuncture made me feel totally relaxed and in tune with my body and mind, something I had failed to do in the past with just meditation alone. Couldn’t recommend Georgie and her practice enough!”
