5 Element Acupuncture
About
5 element acupuncture is an individual based therapy that takes into account the health of our body, emotions and mind/spirit. It is an effective form of treatment that seeks to treat the cause of disease. Each individual has certain themes that run through their life and treatment considers core values in order to boost the immune system and self-healing mechanism. The classical principles of this form of treatment is the understanding that we are all an integral part of nature and that illness arises when a part of us disconnects from this web of life. We each express this disconnection in our own way which may have the label arthritis, eczema, migraine, depression etc. Treatment is individually tailored, based on traditional methods of deep listening, pulse and tongue diagnosis and understanding the phases of the 5 natural elements, Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal/Air. These are the basic building blocks of nature, representing the cycles and energetics of the natural world and the seasons and stages of our human life.
The World Health Organisation lists a wide variety of diseases or disorders for which acupuncture therapy has been tested in controlled clinical trials. See full WHO report >> here.

Treatment
In our first meeting I will take a full case history to assess your situation in detail. Treatment involves placing very few needles in carefully chosen points along the body to help boost your immune system and to ease any pain. The fine, sterile, disposable needles do not cause pain and are placed in channels known as meridians which run through the fascia connecting different parts of the body.
Follow up treatments last 40 minutes depending on your needs. After 5 weekly treatments we assess your progress and discuss what is further needed.

Profile – Lorraine Taylor-Spring
Qualifications
- Swiss Confederation Diploma in Acupuncture and Tuina
- Bachelor of Acupuncture, UK
- Systems Coach
I am a therapist with over 30 years experience, witnessing stories from all walks of life and all states of health. Using the traditional system of 5 Element acupuncture and developing this into a coaching model I have come to understand the connections between the seemingly unconnected and glimpsed the meaning of the past-present-future continuum.
My life work has been about reconnecting people to the natural world both inside and outside of themselves. Our physical, emotional and spiritual body is a replica of Nature’s design, and to deeply understand how we mirror Nature’s cycle of birth, maturity, abundance, letting go and death/change promotes well-being and health. The beauty of this system allows an immediate connection to a deeper truth in ourselves.
