What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a means of adjusting the body’s energy (Qi) through the insertion of fine needles into carefully selected acupuncture points. These points lie on energy channels, and are directly related to specific organs and physiological functions. The needles are manipulated with a gentle action, by twirling or leaving in place for a few moments. This stimulates the flow of energy and removes blockages so that the Qi can be dispersed and regulated. When the Qi is flowing properly throughout the body, the balance is restored and results include deep relaxation, pain relief, and healing.

Testimonials

I have had PMS (cramps, migraines and shoulder pain) for almost 2 decades now (the pain was sometimes debilitating) but after 3 sessions with Orla my period has regulated and I have no more premenstrual symptoms. Thank you!!

I have benefited greatly from acupuncture sessions with Orla – she released the heart pain that I endured from recent trauma. I feel greatly improved- her great work is valued.

I suffered from haemorrhoids since the birth of my son 6 years ago – I have been to so many consultants and specialists and had laser treatment but nothing was alleviating the pain and bleeding. I went to Orla for 3 sessions and have seen a huge improvement. I am now back teaching yoga again. She has also helped with my perimenopausal symptoms (night sweats and hot flashes). Highly recommend acupuncture sessions with her.
