Using Paediatric acupuncture to support ADHD and ASD treatment

Hello, my name is Angelina He, and I am a paediatric acupuncturist working at The Maris Practice. I have a great interest in helping children with ADHD and ASD conditions. As a mum of a teenager and have previously worked with children, those experiences gave me better understanding about how stressful and exhausted the parents be if their child is unwell or in a chronic health condition. It is the main reason for me to become a paediatric acupuncturist which equipped me to help children physically. Treating ADHD and ASD children is incredibly rewarding - once they become more settled, [...]

Acupuncture – getting to the point

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practice that involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body (known as acupoints). The practice has gained widespread popularity in recent years due to its potential benefits for a wide range of health conditions. The origins of acupuncture can be traced back to ancient China, where it is believed the human body had a network of channels (or meridians) through which our vital energy force, Qi (“chee”) flows. Acupuncture balances and restores the flow of Qi in the body. Today, acupuncture is widely recognized as a safe and effective [...]

Experience of pain

Guest blog from our hypnotherapist, Louise Coyle Pain is a curious and interesting phenomenon. What happens in our body is only one part of it. An equally important part is what happens in our brain. How are those pain signals interpreted? What do they mean, now and in the future? What are our thoughts about the pain or the injury we have experienced? Our society has made great progress over recent decades in learning how to mend broken bodies and address the physical experience of pain, but we are only just beginning to figure out why it matters to know [...]

Meet the Team – Louise Coyle, hypnotherapist

1. What was the inspiration behind your chosen career path? My role as a hypnotherapist evolved rather than being a conscious decision. I initially worked as a medical journalist and then in PR, writing about diseases and new medicines and whilst I loved these jobs, once the children had come along, I had time to reflect on where I wanted to take my career next. I took a day course on hypnotherapy, then enrolled on another, then a more advance course and it evolved from there. 2. What challenges you most about this role? I think the most challenging thing [...]

Buddha Bowl Lunch Meal

Lunchtimes are notoriously difficult meals to plan, especially if you want something a little more exciting than a sandwich but not too much that you ruin your evening meal. As much as we hate falling into the latest 'fad’ trap, this year sees the increasingly popular Buddha bowl take its place as a ‘working lunch’ routine. So, what exactly is a Buddha bowl? Is it really nothing more than a salad? Well of course not! It's a salad... but not as we know it! Buddha bowls tend to be largely vegetarian (although don't let that stop you adding your favourite [...]
