Auricular acupuncture to support weight management
An individually tailored ear acupuncture treatment designed to support those looking to develop healthier habits and work towards their weight management goals. Whether you are seeking greater balance with food, managing cravings, finding it difficult to maintain healthy routines, experiencing fluctuating energy, or looking for additional support on your wellbeing journey, this treatment offers an opportunity to rebalance and feel more in control of your choices. Clients are invited to rest deeply for 20–40 minutes while the needles are in place.
The process
An initial consultation process identifies hormone imbalances and addresses them using auricular acupuncture points. During the treatment, small needles are inserted into the ears with the aim of bringing balance to the hormones associated with these conditions.
