We steal Anne for her first ever podcast and hear about all things acupuncture. There’s something about acupuncture (mostly the needles) that really put people off giving it a go! But we learn that a doctor’s needle is actually 500x thicker than an acupuncture needle. Anne explains all the many ailments she has treated from simple back pain to trouble sleeping, quitting smoking, helping the body to deal with stress from physical to mental, all the way to hormonal issues.

We learn about the medical, scientific, physical and spiritual perspective of acupuncture and how so many women that Anne treats, think that certain ailments are normal in their body, when in fact they are actually abandoning their health

We really go into depth in this episode, where we’re filled in on the meridians that run through our bodies, and common areas of the body where you might be blocking energy. It’s amazing to hear Anne’s stories of clients with simple back pain, actually having ailments at much deeper levels.

If you have been curious about acupuncture for a while, you’ll be blown away by the improvements it can add to your life.

Edit – since recording this episode both of us have since had acupuncture treatments and found them to be quite useful. They did not hurt (ok, maybe for a teeny second) and, for Tracey, it was able to release the muscle tension that she was experiencing in her calf muscle. Joanne found that the treatment eased the pain in her neck and shoulders. We would both recommend having regular treatments it at all possible.
