Moxibustion
Moxibustion can be a very pleasant sensation, especially when the warmth spreads through areas with pain and swellingMoxibustion
Moxibustion is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It involves using moxa sticks made from mugwort herbs to apply heat either directly or indirectly to acupuncture points.
The heat from the moxa improves the circulation of blood and qi in the area thus promoting healing.
“Moxibustion is an important therapy in traditional Chinese medicine as it helps raise the body’s metabolism, immunity and can also be used in preventive health care.” – Pauline (Founder)

What should I expect on the first appointment?
What should I do for my first Acupuncture appointment?
Usually the Acupuncturist will do an assessment of the tongue and pulse. It is helpful to avoid foods that colour the tongue, brushing the tongue surface and tea/coffee on the day of the appointment to ensure the coating on the tongue is in natural state. Alcohol, caffeine based drinks and heavy meals in the 2-3 hours prior to the appointment as they can interfere with the pulse.
Does acupuncture hurt?
What our clients say
My experience at the haven was warm and professional. My therapist put me at ease as it was my first time getting acupuncture. I felt well informed and listened to. Not only did I see results after a couple of sessions it also created benefits in other areas of my life. I was more relaxed and less stressed. I would highly recommend them.
Holistic Healing Haven offer a superb service! I have attended for acupuncture and reflexology and got great results from both! Pauline also offers fantastic advice and tips on general well being. If you want a high quality professional service, look no further!
Holistic Healing Haven provides amazing acupuncture for a range of different things. When I first went I was very nervous of needles but they were very patient and caring and now I really look forward to the sessions. Pauline, the owner, is very knowledgeable on alternative healing and takes a personal interest in their client’s well being.
My health has improved dramatically since starting acupuncture. It helps me relax and I can feel the benefits that the needles are achieving – which don’t bother me, due to Pauline’s approach. Even after the session, she is always doing research and finding ways to improve each subsequent treatment, which is a testament to her professionalism.
