Feritily Coaching
​
​My approach involves me using my knowledge of gynecology, obstetrics, fertility and IVF support, and combining this with Chinese medicine diagnostic techniques to find imbalances. By doing this, I’m able to uncover the root of the problem. I can then formulate an individual fertility treatment plan that is adjusted at each stage of the female cycle or IVF process.
With your treatment, what matters the most to me is getting the best results for you in the shortest space of time.
Cupping Therapist in West Hampstead and Walthamstow
What is cupping?
I am a practitioner of Chinese medicine and a cupping therapist, offering treatments from my clinics in West Hampstead and Walthamstow.
​
​
Cupping is an effective form of alternative therapy. Derived from Chinese medicine, it has been practised for over 3,000 years. I am a qualified cupping practitioner and have been offering cupping treatments for over 10 years.
A simple and safe procedure, cupping involves placing cups on the skin to create suction in order to stimulate blood flow and facilitate the flow of Qi in the body.
Cupping is usually combined with acupuncture in one treatment. However, it can be used as an independent treatment to facilitate healing, relax the muscles, sedate the nervous system and remove toxins from the body.
What conditions can cupping be used to treat?
I either use cupping as a complementary therapy to acupuncture or I use it independently, this depends on your health concerns or illness.
As cupping is designed to encourage blood flow, loosen the muscles, release toxins and relax the nervous system, it is ideal treatment for a number of conditions. Some of the most common conditions I utilise cupping for, include:
-
Back pain
-
Neck pain
-
Muscle pain/stiffness
-
Migraines
-
Anxiety
-
Fatigue
-
Skin conditions
-
Fertility (as part of my comprehensive Chinese medicine treatments)
-
High blood pressure
-
Respiratory problems
-
Weight loss
The different types of cupping
Cupping either involves the combustion of oxygen inside a glass jar or a pumping action inside specifically designed plastic cups to create a vacuum. When placed on the body, the cups grip to the skin due to the suction from the vacuum.
Wet cupping
Wet cupping is the process of cupping in which I make a small incision on the skin after the cup has been removed. Once this has been made, I then reapply the cup to draw out a small quantity of blood.
Air cupping
When undertaking air cupping, I utilise a specially designed pump which is attached to the end of the jar. The pump is then used to create a vacuum. This method can be beneficial as it provides more control over the amount of suction.
Fire cupping
Fire cupping is the process of cupping in which I utilise a flame to burn the oxygen within glass cups to create suction. I then place the cups on the body to increase blood flow in specific areas.
Moving cupping/gliding cupping
Either known moving cupping or gliding cupping is a process in which cups are moved during the treatment. To do this, I utilise oils infused with essential oils and herbs to help lubricate the skin and provide a more pleasurable experience.
Fixed cupping
Fixed cupping is a cupping treatment which sees the cups stay in a fixed position during the treatment. Usually the cups will be held in one place for around 5 - 10 minutes. However, the amount of time can differ depending on what you are being treated for.
