A Work In Progress

Well, it's the first week of our new site. We promise to work hard and keep it updated, as well as supply you with plently of information about us, acupuncture, health and all things in between. However, it would help us a lot if you could give us suggestions for the site, too. So, please, feel free to comment and pass on ideas, advice, information, links and so forth. We are blogging babies so, bear with us while we get into the new meedja.




In the coming weeks (or days, if we can get it together fast enough) we shall be sharing with you what it is we do, individually and as a partnership. First, though, who are 'we'?




About Us



We are both trained in the tradition of Five Element Acupuncture http://www.acupuncturetoday.com/abc/fiveelementtheory.php




David Yeomans qualified from The College of Traditional Acupuncture http://www.cta-uk.net/ as a Five Element practitioner 23 years ago and has been in practice ever since. A few years later he did the TCM course at Reading http://www.acupuncturecollege.org.uk/, and in the process learned about Chinese herbs. He is a Voice Dialogues facilitator http://www.marydisharoon.com/articles/whatisvoicedialogue.pdf, and uses this complex, revealing technique in his practice. Dave is also a mentor for students of A Course In Miracles http://www.acim.org/; he offers meditation coaching as well as practical self-help support and guidance for life skills.




Isobel Yeomans is a qualified nurse, Health Visitor and doula http://www.britishdoulas.co.uk/BirthDoula.htmwho became an acupuncturist in 2004, also training at The College of Traditional Acupuncture. Specialising in all things reproductive from pregnancy planning, fertility, pregnancy and labour, through to post natal, she has extensive experience in assisted conception (e.g., IVF).




What We Treat




David has considerable expertise in treating emotional and spiritual health, from anxiety and depression to relationship crises. Often, these parts of us are hidden and can make their needs known in our physical form as illness or pain. For example, chronic back pain can come about when we are not supported in life, whether in our jobs, relationships or in our self-belief. Using his wide range of skills and techniques, Dave is able to comfortably draw out what is ailing a person and work with them to achieve a sense of balance and contentment. Think of it as life-coaching, but with the additional benefit of significant improvement to your health as well!




Isobel specialises in everything to do with having babies. From pre-conceptual care via morning sickness, pelvic pain, 'minor' ailments of pregnancy through to pain relief in labour, she welcomes all stages of this important time in anyone's life. Her nursing background in paediatrics and Health Visiting means she can extend her practice into the post-natal period and advise on young children's health, too. However, at the other end of the baby spectrum, she works with peri and post menopausal women, treating not only the physical symptoms but supporting the life changes taking place.




Coming Soon




We are both training in Facial Enhancement Acupuncturehttp://www.facialenhance.co.uk/, and should be certificated in a few weeks time. We'll let you know when this exciting and effective treatment is available.
