Clinic reopens on the 7th Jan. (January is booking up fast).
This big guy and me are taking a few weeks breaks to rest, go for long walks, nap, read books and spend time with loved ones.
Thank you to all of my amazing patients!
For trusting me with your health, your hearts, your worries, your journey. I love you all so much.
Thank you to my amazing friends and family who cheerlead me in life, encourage me, help me to shine and lift me up when I need it.
Most importantly, thank you to this sweet hound Larry.
If you have had a treatment with me, you have probably met this sweet giant who will look right into your eyes, check your bag for treats, and then sleep on the floor by your feet offering big encouraging signs and snores to help you relax and heal.
This guy has been such an angel this year, where true to form (9 year in numerology 💥💥💥) I went through absolute heart break, disappointment and dismantling of so many things and he kept my heart focused on love.
Greyhounds are angels in hound form.
Have a restful Christmas everyone.
Offer kindness to strangers, smile first, be gentle with each other.
All my love ❤️
Karina xx
We don’t really get taught to process our emotions in life, which means they can build up in the body and block us from feeling free, calm and stable.
The body will literally store emotions up, until they spill over and a person is in an emotional state constantly.
This is true of the emotion of longing.
When unprocessed it feels like a constant emptiness; that something is missing and we desperately try to do anything to connect to calm that feeling down.
It can be accompanied by needing constant stimulation and affection, fidgety hands and restlessness, anxiety and panic.
If unprocessed or untreated it can develop into a complete loss of interest in connecting with others, people may self isolate, lose all interest in fun and pleasure and lose their zest.
The incredible part is that classical acupuncture has tools and wisdom to help the body release some of this stored emotion and give a person the freedom and capacity to cultivate that sense of connection with themselves again.
Clients literally tell me that within days that feel calmer, more centred, more capable and more grounded after these kinds of sessions.
As a deeply feeling person myself, I’m feeling more and more called to supporting other people with their emotional processing using classical acupuncture.
Everyone deserves the freedom to feel calmer and more at ease with their body and in their life.
Love Karina x
My patients are adorable.
Not only do they do cute things like fold their towels, sometimes they bring me freshly laid eggs from their chickens, bunches of green veggies, sweet treats, big hugs, laughter and smiles and also their big vulnerabilities and stories.
I seriously have the best job in the world.
❤️

Ive spent the first five years of my acupuncture career pondering about what my “niche” is.
Do I need one?
Cant I just be a generalist and treat everything?
What lights me up?
What am I good at?
And I’m happy to say I have so much clarity now on what I do and how I serve as an acupuncturist.
I support humans seeking more freedom in their lives and bodies, that feel stuck because of old limiting beliefs, blocked emotions and traumatic experiences.
All of this builds up accumulation the sane way that a hoarders house fills up with “stuff” until they only have the smallest walking track in their house!
Ps I sometimes watch hoarders and it fills me with so much anxiety!
The channels of acupuncture have the potential to shine a light on these areas of blockage in a person and give them an invitation to change; to see things differently, to let things out and let things go, with the sole intention of offering that human more freedom.
The body listens to the mind. I can say that without a hesitation.
And what I have been exploring in clinic this year, is how powerfully a person takes that invitation onboard, when they have sat with me, talked about their situation, been guided through subtle and not so subtle NLP work.
The outcomes have been magical.
I witness people coming back home to themselves, having realisations, connecting dots, and opening themselves up to life!
If this touches something in you, let’s talk.
Bring on 2026
Love Karina x
Every session we blend together:
- Nervous system regulation, to create safety and calm
- NLP subconscious rewiring, to shift beliefs at the root
- Acupuncture + Chinese medicine, to restore energy flow
- Emotional release, to let go of what no longer serves you
It’s not just one modality, it’s a holistic space for deep, layered healing.
This is where your transformation begins.
Love, Karina x
I don’t mind being controversial.
In Chinese Medicine we understand that you are born with a trust fund of life force, ideally used slowly and measured out evenly as you flow through life.
Yes, on occasion you need a big burst of it for living; escaping a wild animal, growing a baby inside of you, battling illnesses etc, but every time you ice bath and shock your system, your body is mounting its biggest defence to protect you from cold, because your body thinks you are going to die!
We can feel this in your pulse.
A question my teacher asks: “if ice bathing is so good for strengthening your immune system, would you put an elderly person or a new born baby in an ice bath?”
The ice bath does not give you energy, it forces your body to pillage its own energy to save you from the chance of death by hypothermia.
And the adrenaline rush you get, is why you feel so good on the other side (same thing happens when you drink coffee, same thing happens when you take amphetamines)
It’s a bad idea.
Stop trying to hack your life.

People are told all the time that there blood test results are normal.
And from a GP perspective, they are. But GPs are looking at very wide reference ranges where low and high are very far away from each other.
You could have a result very close to low or high and still be told it is “within range”, whilst still feeling like absolute crap!
If you know you could feel better and you want a second opinion, advocate for yourself and find someone who will walk through this with you.
I love reading blood tests and am happy to look at yours when you come in for a session.
In fact send them in before hand so I can be all ready when you arrive.
