I am delighted to welcome Sarah-Jane Lilly to the clinic! As you may be aware I am often fully booked. So it is wonderful to have Sarah-Jane now working Mondays as an Acupuncturist and taking on new patients.
She will also be offering Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture using Isabel Skincare Products which I know some of you have been keen to try!
She is a wonderful warm hearted human I am delighted to be joining me and hope it can mean we can offer more availability at shorter notice.
I have decided that having had a successful clinic hygiene protocol in place all the way through this pandemic which has resulted in me not needing to close the clinic, it feels like the sensible decision is to keep this policy going.
For my part I will continue to ventilate the space, clean down all surfaces between patients, wear a medical mask throughout the session and lateral flow test.
I would kindly ask that you all continue to wear masks during your time in the clinic. It minimises the risk to us both and keeps the clinic a safe space for all, including the clinically vulnerable that I have been able to safely offer treatment to.
I would also kindly ask you to reschedule if you have cold/cough symptoms, a temperature or if anyone in your household is isolating and is yet to get their PCR results.
I will of course stay flexible on the 48 hour cancelation policy regarding this, but please note that if it is just from forgetting or making other plans, I cannot afford to waiver missed appointments fees and these will be charged in full.
I hope you understand my decision here as a small business and more importantly as a clinic space supporting your health
I look forward to keeping the clinic open, supporting your health in a safe clinic environment.
With kind regards
Isabel

I am making some layout changes to the clinic so that I can make the steps towards re-opening the clinic as soon as I am allowed/it is deemed safe to do so. There will be a few steps we both have to take to make the clinic as risk free as possible in terms of Covid-19. I will be informing you all of these changes very soon when I have the details finalised. The form below will be part of these changes and I will require you to fill out this form prior to treatment.
Please download and email the following form to me prior to coming into clinic for your appointments. This is a temporary measure required as part of a phased re-opening for face to face appointments. Thank you for your understanding.
Perfect to strengthen the Lungs at a time of year when lots of people are getting coughs and colds. Pears are a traditional food to eat in the Autumn season.
Cut organic Pears in half, either leaving skins on or off.
Place in a saucepan with 1-2 inches of water
Add a cinnamon stick, star anise and spoonful of honey and poach for 10-15 minutes slowly.
Either server on their own with cooking juices or with a homemade rice pudding. Or put on top of a warm bowl of porridge in the morning.
Perfect for BBQ'S or to accompany a mezze of summer dishes. I love it with BBQ makerel!
I recommend wearing an apron for preparing the beetroot though!
Stir well and serve! Really easy, versatile healthy slaw!
Ingredients- 2 people
-Spring onions-3 finely chopped into small rounds, Garlic 1 clove
-Shitake mushrooms (I use dried-3 each person)- soaked for 20 mins. Sliced.
-Wakame seaweed-dried-handful
-1 large carrot-Finely chopped into small quartered slices
-Ginger-Grate with skin on then squeeze out all the juice by hand. 1 inch
-Miso paste- either Brown rice miso or Barley Miso-2 tsp per person (to taste)
-Coconut oil-2-3 teaspoons
-(Rice Noodles- leave out if you want a lighter soup or starter)-1 block dried.
Optional
Cabbage/Kale any quick cooking veg you want to pop in!
Tofu-1/2 pack
Cashews-handful-soak with seaweed.
Method
Soak the Shitake and seaweed in a cereal bowl full of water
Chop carrot/onions/(tofu)
Gently heat saucepan (large) with coconut oil add carrot, onion, garlic. Soften.
Add the now soft and expanded mushrooms and seaweed including the soaking water. Add an additional pint and half of water (more if adding the optionals)
Add tofu/cashews if desired/other greens if desired
Boil for 5 mins
Add noodles, simmer for 2 mins
Turn off heat and cover
Dissolve Miso in tablespoon or so of cold water until runnier paste
Add this as serving into each bowl and check flavour, appox 2 teaspoon per bowl. Alternatively if you have not made too much (i.e. enough for meal next day)- stir this into the saucepan and check flavoured enough. Add more if desired-2 teaspoon per person as a guide measure.
(N.b don’t add Miso to boiling soup as denature all the goodness in the Miso- hence if planning to reheat the next day add to bowl not saucepan.)

Interesting response article here from acupuncturist regarding the nature of Acupuncture and the individually tailored treatments not always fitting the large scale research methodology, but pointing out that these large scale trials are necessary to start using acupuncture alongside mainstream medicine on a larger scale.
