Auriculotherapy
A focused approach using carefully selected points on the ear.
Service Temporarily Unavailable
This service is temporarily suspended pending clarification of the French regulatory requirements relating to my UK professional qualifications.
Auriculotherapy and auricular acupuncture use specific points on the external ear as part of a focused, individualised approach.
Depending on your needs and preferences, a session may use fine acupuncture needles, gentle point stimulation and ear seeds.
Each session begins with a short consultation so that the points can be selected individually for you.
30-minute session
Two approaches to the ear
Auricular Acupuncture
Chinese Medicine approach
Auricular acupuncture developed within Chinese Medicine, where points on the ear are selected according to Chinese Medicine theory and the individual presentation.
It may be used on its own or alongside body acupuncture.
Auriculotherapy
Modern microsystem approach
Modern auriculotherapy developed in France through the work of physician Dr Paul Nogier in the 1950s.
It views the ear as a microsystem, with different areas corresponding to regions of the body.
Point selection may also be guided by the location, sensitivity and reactivity of areas on the ear.
In my sessions, I may draw on both approaches and select points according to the individual.
Understanding Auriculotherapy
Each session takes an individualised approach, considering your personal circumstances, preferences and overall wellbeing.
Body Awareness & Physical Comfort
Auriculotherapy uses selected points on the ear traditionally associated with different areas of the body.
Point selection is guided by the individual's needs and the principles of auriculotherapy.
Women's Wellbeing
Traditional auricular approaches take into account different stages of life and individual circumstances.
Each session follows a personalised approach, with attention to the individual's overall wellbeing.
Stress & Emotional Wellbeing
Traditional auricular approaches recognise the relationship between physical sensations, emotions and everyday stress.
These factors may be considered when selecting points for an individual session.
Seasonal Wellbeing
Our daily experiences and routines can change with the seasons and our environment.
Auriculotherapy considers these wider influences as part of a personalised approach.
Digestion & the Mind–Body Connection
Auricular point systems include areas traditionally associated with digestion and the body's internal functions.
This reflects a broader approach that considers the relationship between physical experiences, lifestyle and emotions.
Habits & Everyday Wellbeing
Daily habits, routines and emotional patterns are important aspects of our overall wellbeing.
An auriculotherapy consultation provides an opportunity to discuss these factors within a traditional framework.
Auriculotherapy is presented as a complementary practice rather than a replacement for conventional healthcare.
It does not provide medical diagnosis or replace prescribed treatment, medical monitoring or advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
What to expect during a session
01
Short consultation
We begin with a brief conversation about what you would like support with and any relevant health information.
02
Ear assessment & point selection
I examine and gently press selected areas of the ear. Areas that feel more sensitive or reactive may help guide the choice of points.
03
Treatment
You relax in a reclining chair while very fine, sterile, single-use needles are placed in selected points. You then rest with the needles in place for around 20 minutes.
04
Ear seeds & aftercare
If appropriate, small ear seeds may be applied before you leave. They do not pierce the skin and can be gently pressed at home between sessions.
Sessions are calm, seated and individually tailored, with time to discuss your needs before treatment begins.
