"The overall intention of the Esoteric Acupuncture Patterns is to be able to understand ourselves on the highest conscious levels in order to heal and to expand our spiritual energies"- M. Sankey (Esoteric Acupuncture)

Welcome to Transformative Acupuncture.

Transformative Acupuncture blends Esoteric Acupuncture with the Eight Extra Meridians to offer a form of acupuncture focused on actively supporting and assisting our own spiritual or energetic growth.

Rather than treating illnesses directly or specifically Esoteric Acupuncture works on a deeper, transformative level. It is ideal for those working with meditation, tai chi, chi gong, yoga, western magical paths or other spiritual disciplines. It is also for those who have simply heard about it and feel drawn to having a treatment.

Acupuncture for Spiritual Development.

Whereas traditional acupuncture focuses on treating the body or the emotions, Transformative Acupuncture works on a more subtle level to awaken our own inner potentials and to assist us in accessing other states of consciousness.

Transformative Acupuncture uses Esoteric Acupuncture Patterns to work with each of the chakras to awaken and support the functioning of these energy centres. These are interspersed with sessions using a deeper set of meridians known as the Eight Extra Meridians, to help reconnect us to our true nature and help to reset and balance our physical and emotional selves. In this way the more subtle energies of the chakra patterns become grounded and balanced in our physical bodies.

The patterns of Transformative Acupuncture assist and support our own inner work, whatever form this may take.

What are treatments like?

Unlike in traditional acupuncture, in Esoteric Acupuncture, the needles are inserted only very superficially. The intention is not to elicit a physical response but to create a pattern which works on a more subtle level. Sessions can be very powerful and feel very different from a traditional acupuncture treatment. (See the Treatment Guidance Pages for more detailed information on what happens in a treatment session and afterwards)

Needle Free Treatments.

If you prefer, I can use Essential Oils instead of acupuncture needles. A small drop of Frankincense is placed on each point to build up the pattern or to open the Extraordinary Meridians. You can swap between using needles and Essential Oils as you wish. Let me know before a treatment if you would like this style of application.
