Acupuncture for Stress, Anxiety and Insomnia
In the fast-paced world we live in, stress, anxiety, insomnia, and grief have become common companions in our lives. While society might label these experiences as "normal" or "common," it's essential to recognize that just because they are prevalent doesn't mean we have to endure them without relief.
At our clinic, we understand the profound impact these challenges can have on your well-being. We believe in offering more than just a treatment; we provide a sanctuary for healing, integration, and rediscovering serenity.

Insomnia & Emotional Wellbeing FAQ’s

We tailor your initial Acupuncture session to address your unique combination of sleep issues, stress and anxiety.
Welcoming Conversation: We start your session with an open and relaxed conversation led by your experienced Acupuncturist. Share insights into your sleep patterns, stressors, and anxiety triggers in a comforting atmosphere, setting the stage for a personalized approach to your well-being.
Comprehensive Assessment: Building on the warm welcome, your Acupuncturist conducts a thorough assessment of your sleep quality, stress levels, and anxiety symptoms. This holistic evaluation helps us in understanding the interconnected aspects of your well-being, paving the way for targeted and effective treatment.
Tailored Treatment Plan: Based on the assessment, your Acupuncturist devises a personalized treatment plan specifically focused on alleviating sleep disturbances, reducing stress, and addressing anxiety. The plan involves selecting Acupuncture points known for their calming and balancing effects on the nervous system.
Acupuncture for Relaxation: Experience the gentle insertion of ultra-thin needles into specific Acupuncture points chosen to induce relaxation and relieve tension. The process is generally soothing, and many individuals find it a peaceful and calming experience. The aim is to encourage the free flow of energy (Qi) to promote a sense of balance and tranquility. Many of our clients fall asleep on the table! We call it an AcuNap!
Mind-Body Integration: Following the placement of Acupuncture needles, take a moment to relax and allow the treatment to take effect. This phase allows for the integration of the therapeutic benefits, fostering a harmonious connection between the mind and body for ongoing healing.
Breathing and Mindfulness Guidance: For even better results, we recommend booking Somatic Therapy + Acupuncture sessions.
In these sessions, in conjunction with Acupuncture, your practitioner may offer guidance on breathing techniques and mindfulness practices to further enhance relaxation and stress reduction. These techniques can be valuable tools for managing anxiety and promoting better sleep.Continued Support Plan: Recognizing that addressing sleep, stress, and anxiety is a gradual process, your Acupuncturist will outline a plan for ongoing sessions. Regular Acupuncture sessions are often recommended to build upon the initial progress made, providing consistent support for your journey towards improved sleep and emotional well-being.
By combining the ancient healing art of Acupuncture with a personalized and holistic approach, our goal is to guide you towards better sleep, reduced stress, and a more relaxed state of being.

The short answer?
Acupuncture pops your mind and body into rest and relax state (instead of fight or flight state) to influence areas of the brain involved in sleep hormone regulation.

In each calming & nourishing session, we gently pop your mind and body into ‘rest and relaxation’ state.
This lowers adrenalin & cortisol hormones and allows the brain to create more peaceful neural pathways and releases endorphins to help you feel good!

Everyone is different and your practitioner will confirm what they think will work best for you in your first session. Most people find 6-10 weekly sessions before reviewing and spacing out care to be the most beneficial. -

Our practitioners are trained to use both Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine safely alongside your existing care. -
At Embrace Acupuncture, your comfort and well-being are our top priorities.
Our approach involves the use of superfine, pain-minimizing needles paired with gentle techniques to ensure you feel calm and relaxed throughout your session.
We minimize needle points and only focus on what is truly necessary for symptom relief.
Our single-use, sterilized needles are less than 0.25mm thick—equivalent to a quarter of a millimeter or just three strands of hair in thickness!
Once these ultra-thin needles are gently inserted, any initial discomfort will quickly fade away. This allows you to lie back, relax, and let the magic of Acupuncture work its wonders!
At Embrace Acupuncture we provide a soothing and effective experience, promoting relief from insomnia, anxiety, and stress with the utmost care and comfort.
