Stress, Anxiety & Insomnia at a glance
Acupuncture for stress, anxiety and insomnia uses gentle needling at calming points to help the body shift out of the fight-or-flight state and into rest. Many clients feel deeply calm during the session and report better sleep, a steadier mood and less tension over a course of treatments. It works well alongside counselling and healthy sleep habits.
How stress shows up in the body
Long-term stress keeps the nervous system on alert. This can lead to racing thoughts, poor sleep, tight shoulders, headaches, digestive trouble, hair fall and skin flare-ups. Calming the nervous system often improves many of these together.
How acupuncture helps
Acupuncture at calming points helps the body move into a relaxed state. Clients often describe a heavy, peaceful feeling during the session, and many fall asleep on the couch. Over a course, sleep tends to deepen and anxiety becomes easier to manage.

We may combine acupuncture with Bach flower remedies and simple sleep habits. If you are being treated for anxiety or depression, please continue your care with your doctor or counsellor.
