What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture dates back thousands of years and involves inserting fine needles into points on the body.
The focus is on treating the person as a whole, not just treating a symptom.
The body consists of many channels of energy (or Qi) which flows in a similar way to blood. When there is stress, illness or injury this energy flow is interrupted which then causes health problems.
By inserting fine needles the body can redress the flow of Qi allowing the circuit to flow again and health to be restored.
Rachel Stocker BA (Hons) LicAc MBAcC
I studied Traditional Chinese Medicine and Five Element Acupuncture for three years at The College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading, qualifying in 2002. I subsequently practiced alongside GPs, osteopaths and homeopaths in Wiltshire and North Yorkshire for eight years then practiced overseas for two years.
I have seen improvement in a variety of individuals who have had treatment for problems as diverse as loss of voice, chronic cystitis, tennis elbow, migraines and depression.
I also use cupping, moxibustion and am fully qualified with NADA-UK as an acupuncture detoxification specialist. Ear acupuncture is used in this instance for detoxification, addiction and stress or trauma.
I recently took a course in the use of acupuncture for the treatment of sports injuries.
I met Rachel Stocker when I was looking for help with a persistent infection which had resisted prescribed antibiotics for months. Acupuncture was my last resort, but I was cynical. Rachel gave me confidence, I was able to relax and enjoy the experience. The effects of the acupuncture have been lasting and I am very grateful to Rachel. Her confident and quiet manner made the whole experience effective and enjoyable.
Rachel treated me for chronic fatigue syndrome initially and then for stress while I was studying for accountancy exams. After an initial consultation Rachel formulated a treatment plan and explained how acupuncture can work and how I might benefit from the treatment. After treatment I always felt calmer and relaxed. Rachel was always caring, an excellent listener and very efficient in the way she conducted the treatment. She was never invasive and always had time for me.
Since my late teens I have suffered with neck and lower back pain due to an active sporting life in my younger years. Now in my late seventies I have found acupuncture to be the one effective treatment to alleviate the discomfort. I had complete confidence in Rachel’s ability and care, which I feel makes the treatment more effective. The whole experience was one of calm professionalism.
I found the treatment with Rachel to be excellent both in terms of the results she achieved and her professional manner. I always felt better after the treatment than when I had first walked in! She not only offered assistance with my physical symptoms but also assisted with the underlying emotional links. I would recommend her highly.
