Prioritising your health

Hypno-puncture is a holistic therapy that combines the ancient practices of acupuncture and hypnotherapy to promote healing and well-being. This integrated approach targets both the mind and body simultaneously, aiming for a synergistic effect that is often more powerful than either therapy alone.

How it Works

The core concept of hypno-puncture is to use the unique strengths of each modality in a single session.

Acupuncture: 

This traditional Chinese medicine technique involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body's meridians, or energy pathways. The goal is to stimulate the flow of Qi (pronounced "Chee"), or vital energy, and restore balance. This process can help alleviate physical discomfort, reduce inflammation, and calm the nervous system, creating a state of deep physical relaxation.

Hypnotherapy: 

This is a state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility, often described as a deep, dream-like relaxation. In this state, the critical conscious mind becomes less active, allowing a person to access their subconscious and be more receptive to positive suggestions. The hypnotherapist guides the individual through visualizations and affirmations to address a variety of issues, from chronic pain and anxiety to phobias and unwanted habits.

By combining these two practices, the physical relaxation induced by the acupuncture needles can help deepen the hypnotic trance, while the hypnotherapy can enhance the therapeutic effects of the acupuncture by addressing the underlying psychological and emotional factors contributing to a person's condition.

What it can Help With

Hypno-puncture is used to treat a wide range of physical and psychological conditions. It can be particularly effective for issues where the mind-body connection is strong. Common applications include:

Chronic Pain Management: Easing pain from conditions like migraines, back pain, and arthritis.

Anxiety and Stress Reduction: Promoting a sense of calm and helping to manage stress responses.

Behavioural and Lifestyle Changes: Assisting with weight loss, smoking cessation, and breaking other habits by addressing the subconscious triggers.

Sleep Disorders: Improving sleep quality by promoting deep relaxation and addressing the root causes of insomnia.

Phobias and Fears: Reducing the intensity of specific phobias and anxieties.
