Acupuncture and integrated body-based support for stress, tension, pain and nervous system overwhelm
A steady, personalised approach to help you feel calmer, more comfortable in your body and more like yourself again.
Finding support for stress, tension, pain, sleep, and overall wellbeing through acupuncture and integrated body-based work.
This might feel familiar
You’re functioning —
but you're not really comfortable in yourself.
Your body is holding tension that doesn’t fully go away, ever.
Your mind feels busy, wired, or hard to switch off.
You’re tired, but proper rest never quite seems to happen.
You may have tried different approaches already, but you are still feeling like something underneath hasn’t fully shifted.
You don’t need to be in crisis.
But you may know that something isn’t quite right — and you want to address it properly.
What we’re working towards
This work isn’t just about relieving symptoms temporarily.
The aim is to help your system move towards a more settled and sustainable baseline.
Possible shifts include:
- less physical tension
- refreshing sleep and recovery
- a calmer nervous system
- feeling less overwhelmed
- more ease in your body
- feeling more present and like yourself again
- being more able to respond to life rather than constantly reacting to it
These changes often happen gradually — but they can become deeply stabilising over time.
Excellent. My treatment with Michael has changed my sleep routines so I’ve changed from sleeping 4 hours to now sleeping 7 hours a night. This has impacted my life hugely as I can now function so much better in my job.

How sessions work
Each session is tailored to you, but grounded in the same core approach.
Acupuncture is a central part of the work, with other supportive approaches integrated where appropriate.
Depending on what’s needed, sessions include:
- acupuncture
- gentle body-based awareness and movement
- nervous system regulation support
- a calm, private space where you don’t need to explain everything perfectly or share more than you want to.
- stillness and integration time
Sometimes sessions are quieter.
Sometimes there is more interaction.
The work is guided by what your system seems to need — rather than following a rigid routine.
Why this approach feels different
Many treatments focus on trying to “fix” symptoms as quickly as possible.
This work takes a steadier approach.
Rather than chasing symptoms alone, we work with the wider patterns of stress, tension and regulation that may be keeping you stuck.
That means:
- not forcing outcomes
- not rushing the process
- working with your body rather than against it
It’s often a subtler process — but one that can lead to deeper and more lasting change.

"Myself and my wife have benefited from Michael’s acupuncture skills for years, whenever we had any sort of health problem.
We always were impressed by his skills, knowledge, listening and empathy and of course the results of his treatments.
We would have no hesitation in recommending his services to anyone with a health problem."

Is this right for you?
This approach tends to work best if you:
- are open to a slower, deeper process
- want the kind of change that feels sustainable rather than temporary
- are willing to listen to your body, even if that feels unfamiliar at first
- value a personalised and integrated approach
If you’re looking for something extremely fast, prescriptive or symptom-only focused, this may not be the right fit.
You don’t need to keep pushing through constant tension alone.
Or get in touch if you’d like to ask a question before booking.
