Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine for Teenagers
Teenagers today face an enormous amount of pressure, which can often manifest as stress, anxiety, feelings of overwhelm and difficulties with sleep.
Research into the benefits of acupuncture and Chinese medicine for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties is very encouraging. Treatment doesn't have to involve needles – there are many other techniques (gua sha, cupping, massage, acupressure) that can have similar effects in supporting the body’s ability to process emotions and reduce the side effects of stress and anxiety.
Alice also offers a deeply relaxing facial and head massage specifically for teenagers. This gentle, nurturing treatment provides an opportunity to switch off, release tension and unwind, particularly during periods of stress, anxiety or difficulty sleeping.
The Farmhouse Retreat provides a calm, welcoming and supportive environment where young people can feel at ease, without any pressure to share more than they feel comfortable with.
One of the benefits of Chinese medicine is that if you don’t feel like talking you don’t have to – from gently feeling the pulse and acupuncture channels of the body, Alice can get more than enough information to be able to help.
What can teenagers expect from a treatment?
“You don't need to know exactly what's wrong, or have the words to explain how you're feeling. We can simply start from where you are.”
