Also known as Ayurvedic Acupuncture. Marmapuncture uses the ancient wisdom of Ayurvedic principles combined with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) - Acupuncture.

Either pressure or tiny needles are used to stimulate the energy centres which will elicit healing within the body.

As a practitioner, I am then able to take into consideration your personal doshic imbalance along with your medical history to devise a treatment plan where I will chose certain Marma points as well as TCM points to give you the greatest benefits and start rebalancing your body back into harmony and overall wellness. 

Ayurveda is an ancient Indian system of medicine that emphasises the importance of achieving balance and harmony within the body, mind, and spirit. It is based on the belief that each individual has a unique constitution or "dosha," which is determined by the predominance of three fundamental elements: vata, pitta, and kapha. An Ayurvedic practitioner uses a holistic approach to healthcare, incorporating dietary recommendations, herbal remedies, yoga, and meditation to address the root causes of imbalance and promote overall well-being. The goal of Ayurveda is to help individuals maintain optimal health and prevent the onset of disease through the adoption of a lifestyle that is in harmony with the rhythms of nature.

Ayurveda emphasises the concept of prana, which refers to the vital life force that flows through all living beings. The human constitution is understood through three doshas: vata, pitta, and kapha.

• Vata is characterised by air and ether, governing movement and creativity; individuals with a dominant vata may exhibit qualities such as adaptability and enthusiasm but can also be prone to anxiety and dryness.

• Pitta, associated with fire and water, regulates digestion, metabolism, and energy; those with a predominant pitta are often driven and focused but may struggle with anger, impatience or inflammation within the body.

• Kapha, linked to earth and water, embodies stability and cohesion, fostering nurturing qualities; individuals with strong kapha are generally calm and grounded but might face challenges with lethargy and attachment.

Balancing these doshas is essential for maintaining optimal health and well-being.
