After facing personal health challenges, I discovered the benefits of Acupuncture which has since become an integral part of my wellness journey. My love and appreciation for Acupuncture lead me to studying Marmapuncture, which is also known as Ayurvedic Acupuncture.
I lived in Melbourne, Australia for ten years, where I found my love for natural living and healthy eating. I love travelling and enjoy exploring new places and experiences. In my downtime I cherish moments spent with my family and my two dogs, who bring joy to my life.
I am a fully qualified Marmapuncturist from The British Institute of Marmapuncture and I am based in the Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire area.
I began Akasha Healing with a clear vision to create a nurturing space where you can learn how to find balance, joy, and harmony within yourself. The transformative journey that I would love to take you on will be one of deep personal growth and meaningful healing. My primary goal is to integrate various holistic practices and share ancient wisdom, all aimed at supporting your unique journey toward enhanced healing, well-being and profound self-discovery.
ABOUT ME
ABOUT MARMAPUNCTURE & AYUVREDA
Also known as Ayurvedic Acupuncture. Marmapuncture uses the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It involves the gentle stimulation of Marma points - vital energy points in the body. Either pressure or tiny needles are used to restore balance and support natural healing.
How It Works
Marmapuncture helps identify and rebalance imbalances in your body’s energy system. Using Ayurvedic principles, I consider your unique constitution/ dosha (vata, pitta, kapha) and health history to create a personalised treatment plan. This may include working with both Marma and TCM points, breathing techniques, and lifestyle advice.
What Is Ayurveda
Ayurveda is an ancient Indian system of medicine that sees health as a state of balance between body, mind, and spirit. It recognises three core energies (doshas)
• Vata- air/ether, governing movement and creativity, but also linked to anxiety and dryness
• Pitta - fire/water, regulating digestion, metabolism and energy, also linked to focus and drive and anger or inflammation
• Kapha - earth/water, linked to calm and stability, but also linked to heaviness or lethargy
Balancing these doshas is essential for maintaining optimal health and well-being.
