How does Acupuncture work?
Needles stimulate nerve fibers that carry electrical impulses back to the brain, which increases blood flow and triggers the release of neuro-transmitters such as endorphins which help relieve stress and pain!
These biochemical reactions stimulate the bodies natural healing response to promote physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
They also support the body to switch from the sympathetic nervous system, known as your ‘fight/flight/freeze/fawn’ to your parasympathetic nervous system ‘rest and digest’.
Heart rate begins to decrease, blood pressure and cortisol levels drop, bringing you back to a state of equilibrium.
What are the benefits of getting acupuncture?
As part of my practice and philosophy, I strive to both educate and guide my patients, empowering them to live better and healthier lives.
After a detailed consultation, I will create a tailored treatment plan for your unique health. This will include Acupuncture and adjunctive treatments, such as Cupping, Gua Sha Massage, Infrared heat therapy and Moxa Therapy, along with Nutrition & Lifestyle advice to accompany the treatment.
If you need a compassionate and emphatic natural wellbeing practitioner, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Our Acupuncturist – Tara Barden
I earned my accreditation from the Acupuncture Foundation in Dublin and pursued further Licentiate training at Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine, China. Following this, I relocated to Hanoi, Vietnam, where I established my clinic. During my time there, I had the invaluable opportunity to train at the Hanoi National Hospital of Traditional Medicine, Vietnam.
My approach to healthcare is trans-disciplinary, encompassing the integration of body, mind, and spirit. This approach is informed by a blend of traditional practices and cutting-edge biomedical research. I am committed to continuous learning, dedicating a significant portion of my time to ongoing study and exploration.
My unique style combines a variety of disciplines. In addition to my background in acupuncture, I bring my qualifications in personal coaching, nutrition, Ayurvedic massage, and energetic healing. I draw from a palette of acupuncture styles, including Dr Tan, Sa’am, Yamamoto Scalp Acupuncture, Five Elements, Auricular and Electro Acupuncture to craft a holistic treatment experience.
I have also trained as a Jing Fang herbalist with Prof. Salustino Z. Wong, following Prof. Huang Huang’s Jing Fang Method from the Long Sha School. This lineage, which boasts a legacy of 1800 years, is renowned for its potent healing efficacy. By blending ancient wisdom with modern insights, I am dedicated to guiding you on a journey towards optimal health and well-being.
