I provide resistance stretching sessions and acupuncture treatments in central London and Surrey. My clients range from business men and women to opera singers, athletes and actors.
The benefits of resistance stretching include; increased vitality, biomechanical and postural improvements, a stronger immune system and many other far-reaching effects. Whether you are an athlete or certified couch potato, this system can help to unlock your potential, both physically and mentally.
Many people come for acupuncture due to its gentle yet powerful effect on a wide range of health conditions. I have worked with people on improving; fertilty, digestive health, stress, fatigue, headaches, acute and chronic pain and many other conditions. If you are worried about needles, you are not the first! I have a very gentle and careful techique, and hundreds of clients have discovered that it doesn't really hurt after all.
If you have a specific physical or emotional issue that you wish to work on, I reccommend that you get in touch so that we can discuss the best type of session for you.
If you are looking to improve yourself and your health in significant and measurable ways, you are on the right path.
My name is Suzanne, and ever since I was 16 years old I have been passionate about alternative therapies. I began by studying Tai Chi and Qi Gong, which lead me to enroll on a five-year degree in Traditional Chinese medicine. During my degree I learned many diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, and gained experience in using them in hospitals and clinics in London and Beijing.
I graduated in 2005, and since then I have worked as a Traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, gaining experience in treating a wide variety of conditions. From 2009-2010 I also ran the acupuncture section of Kingston Hospital Pain Clinic, giving over 1,500 sessions in one year.
In 2010 I completed The Genius of Flexibility six month Elite Trainer program with Bob Cooley, becoming a Certified Intern of The Genius of Flexibility studio in Boston. Bob taught me how to assess a person’s biomechanics through resistance stretching and strength training, and how to correct imbalances using these powerful methods. This was invaluable to me as, although I had been self-stretching for years using Bob’s system, the depth of information far surpassed what I could have learned by myself.
My passion is self-development, personal empowerment and accurate diagnosis. My aim is to work with the client towards understanding their health issue; whether physical or emotional, identifying underlying causes and establishing how to move forward. If we could do it all by ourselves - we probably already would have.
Mashing is massage using the feet. It is carried out fully-clothed and is a very effective massage, as it uses the body weight to provide sufficient force to improve circulation, tissue elasticity and reduce tension.
Resistance stretching is carried out in a one-on-one session. The person being stretched resists, and I (the assister) stretch your arm or leg along specific paths against the force you provide.
It is safe, pain-free and highly effective. Clients notice fast changes in their posture, movements and also mood!
Whether your aim is a faster marathon time, more freedom of movement, or improving mental clarity; the effects of this technique are efficient and deep.
To the observer, acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles into specific points in the body. To the practitioner, it is also a treatment modality over 2000 years old, that is part of a complex system of diagnosis and treatment.
When the needles are inserted, blockages along the body's meridians, energy pathways, are released, and the person's life energy can flow again. The body also reacts by normalising several physiological values, such as blood pressure.
It is safe and effective. Clients often feel a sense of well-being afterwards.
