How Acupuncture May Help

Acupuncture is traditionally used to:

  • Support nervous system regulation and relaxation

  • Help reduce physical symptoms of anxiety such as tight chest, shallow breathing, or tension

  • Settle restlessness and support the ability to switch off

  • Ease irritability and stress reactivity held in the body

  • Support steadier mood, mental clarity, and emotional resilience over time

From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, anxiety and low mood can be linked with how the body handles stress, sleep, and internal regulation. Care is tailored to your presentation and adjusted over time based on comfort, response, and day-to-day demands.
