Why Brighton Acupuncture?

Ancient wisdom meets modern science.​
Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to support health and wellbeing. While today’s health challenges may look different, this time-tested therapy remains as relevant as ever. Now supported by a growing body of clinical research, acupuncture is recognised as a safe and effective option for many conditions. As more people seek alternatives to medication—and the side effects that often come with it—acupuncture is gaining widespread popularity. It’s even recommended by NICE and the NHS for several specific health concerns.

What can acupuncture help?​

Fertility acupuncture

Fertility acupuncture

Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally or preparing for IVF, acupuncture can support your fertility journey by helping to balance hormones, reduce stress, and improve blood flow to the uterus.

Acupuncture for anxiety

Acupuncture for stress and anxiety​

There is now a good body of evidence to show that acupuncture is effective in helping people experiencing anxiety, so much so that it is recommended by Anxiety UK as an effective treatment option.

Insomnia Acupuncture

Acupuncture for sleep

Poor sleep affects everything from hormones and mood to energy and immunity. Studies show that acupuncture can improve both the quality and length of sleep, helping you feel more rested and balanced.

How does acupuncture work?

Research shows that acupuncture directly influences the central nervous system. It helps calm brain areas linked to stress and illness while improving the regulation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis—the body’s key system for managing hormones and the stress response.

Acupuncture also enhances parasympathetic activity, which supports rest, relaxation, digestion, and tissue healing. Its pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory benefits are believed to come from stimulating the body’s natural opioids and endorphins.

Reviews

★★★★★
Tam is amazing and so sensitive and kind with her craft. I asked for her help as I was having persistent headaches and I believe that her acupuncture was a fundamental factor that played into my recovery. I also have endometriosis, and she helped to combat this holistically whilst always validating my feelings (which is often uncommon when discussing female genealogical conditions). I couldn’t recommend her or her treatment more!

I have been receiving treatment from Tam for over a year, from the very start of my fertility journey, all the way through to the birth of my beautiful baby. Tam has really been on the journey with me and I can’t thank her enough for the wisdom and kindness she provides during every treatment session. I would highly recommend her acupuncture services.

Tam is brilliant at what she does, my acupuncture sessions worked from the first session. Tam really listens to how she may be able to help and brings real focus to the session, ensuring your comfort at every step.

I left my sessions feeling lighter and more balanced both physically and mentally.
