Great healers get straight to the point. They waste no time. - Huangdi Neijing, 230BC

Pain Alchemy by Kate is run at InsideOut Wellness Centre

….known for its relaxing and high quality atmosphere and effective care.

Everything about your treatment experience with Kate is consciously designed to make sure you feel relaxed and comfortable.  Apart from being very enjoyable, the ability to completely relax and let go during treatment means that your Qi can flow more readily, and so optimising treatment.

A range of treatment options

I offer you a range of treatment options, either in isolation or in combination, to get the best results for you and at a pace which suits you and your body.  Pain Alchemy involves integrating the best of Eastern and Western medicine to provide you with truly holistic health care solutions, which are based on evidence-based medicine (plus a tiny sprinkling of spirituality as neither you nor me are robots!).

I provide different modalities of therapy –

• Acupuncture based on Traditional Chinese Medicine and conventional medical principles,
• Chinese Medicine Body Therapy such as cupping, gua sha, tui na to stimulate the flow of Qi,
• Conventional bodywork therapy such as massage,
• Heat lamps applied over your muscles/points,
• Cutting-edge Endermologie soft tissue mechanical massage therapy used by some of the world’s leading physios and surgeons,
• Stretching and manipulation,
• Kinesio taping,
• Nutritional and lifestyle advice,
• CBT-based coaching.

You won’t necessarily get all of these in every session.  But you will get what you need in every session based on your  diagnosis and treatment strategy.

How you will feel

I’ll level with you – sometimes you might feel a little worse after the first few treatments, this is an entirely normal response and usually part of the healing process.  Sometimes you might have a response you weren’t expecting – an emotional release, or feelings of nausea for example.  Again totally normal and part of the process of recovery.  I will monitor you every step of the way; flexing and adjusting your treatment according to your responses.  There is no one-size fits all.

The acupuncture needles are left in typically around 20 minutes but it does depend on what we are treating and where on the body.

Consultation process

You can expect me to listen, observe, to ask questions you possibly weren’t expecting me to ask (some of which may feel a little intrusive at first, but which are entirely appropriate to your diagnosis) to read your pulse and your tongue according to the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and to palpate your body.  All of which will be carried out with the utmost respect and discretion.

Adjunctive care

Along with preventative medicine, I also collaborate with physicians, midwives, OB/GYN’s, fertility clinics and chiropractors offering adjunctive care.  I will work with you as your health care partner to reach your optimal health goals.

The Evidence

I only use therapeutic modalities, which have evidence to back them up.  As a researching practitioner, I have written academic pieces reviewing the benefits of the many therapies available in the alternative medicine sector, and am currently writing an academic article for a peer reviewed journal on acupuncture and massage in the treatment of Fibromyalgia.

I am always very happy to share and discuss the evidence for any of my treatments.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row center_bck_image=”no”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”12436″ img_size=”full”] Book >>> [vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row center_bck_image=”no”][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]
