What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine offer a comprehensive and individualised approach to health, working with the body rather than against it. The aim is to regulate physiological function by influencing the nervous system, circulation, and biochemical signalling within the body.
Insertion of fine needles at specific points has been shown to stimulate peripheral nerves, which in turn affects the central nervous system. This can influence the release of neurotransmitters and hormones, modulate pain pathways, and alter blood flow to targeted areas.
In clinical practice, this can support:
Regulation of the autonomic nervous system
Reduction of inflammation
Improved circulation and tissue repair
Hormonal signalling and endocrine function
At Hauss of Sonder, care is tailored to the individual. No two bodies are approached the same way, and each treatment is guided by both traditional diagnostic methods and a modern understanding of health.
Treatments may include:
Acupuncture
Chinese herbal medicine
Cupping
Moxibustion
Tuina (Chinese remedial massage)
Each modality is selected intentionally, depending on what your body needs at the time.
What do we treat?
Chinese medicine is often sought when something feels “off”, even if there isn’t a clear diagnosis, or those who cannot find sustainable long-term relief or answers from conventional western medicine. It can also be used alongside existing diagnoses to provide deeper support.
Areas of speciality:
Hormonal health and menstrual concerns
Endometriosis and period pain
Fertility, preconception care & IVF support
Pregnancy support and postpartum recovery
Digestive issues and gut health
Stress, anxiety and nervous system regulation
Fatigue and burnout
Neurodevelopmental and neurodivergent presentations (ADHD, ASD, OCD)
Musculoskeletal pain and tension
Women’s health
Women’s health deserves time, attention and a more nuanced approach than it is often given.
Many conditions are underdiagnosed, misunderstood, or dismissed entirely.
It is not uncommon for:
Endometriosis to take years to be diagnosed
Hormonal symptoms to be minimised or normalised
Women to feel unheard in their own experience
If you’ve been navigating things on your own, or feel like something isn’t being fully addressed, this space is designed to support you.
You may be experiencing:
PMS/PMDD
Painful or irregular cycles
Heavy or flooding periods
Bloating
Breast tenderness
Mood changes
Night sweats or hot flushes
Ongoing hormonal imbalance
Recurrent infections such as thrush
Treatment focuses on understanding the underlying patterns influencing your hormones, rather than just managing symptoms.
What to expect?
Initial consultations are thorough and diagnostic-focused. We begin with a detailed health history, exploring your current concerns and patterns over time. From there, traditional diagnostic methods such as pulse assessment, tongue observation, and palpation are used to build a clearer clinical picture.
Treatment may involve acupuncture alongside supportive modalities such as cupping, moxibustion, tuina, or herbal medicine. As your body responds, treatment is adjusted to reflect changes in symptoms and overall function.
Some conditions respond quickly, while others require consistency over time to:
Stabilise chronic conditions
Support hormonal regulation across cycles
Maintain nervous system resilience
Reduce recurrence of symptoms
