Specialised Treatment For Girls
Puberty
is a particularly important time for girls. Understanding and
respecting your body's new cycles as you move from childhood into
adulthood
can be overwhelming at first. Aja supports you through this
transformation, helping you choose healthy lifestyle habits that are
right for you and your body.
Using Chinese herbs and acupuncture,
Aja offers gentle solutions for many complaints you may experience during this time,
including:
Aja creates a
welcoming space where you can feel free
to discuss problems you are experiencing or any questions you may have.
Her goal is to give you the knowledge you need to make informed
decisions about your health and happiness.
Many
menstrual problems are often ignored or temporarily treated by taking
pain killers or the contraceptive pill. This only masks the
symptoms, but it does not address the underlying cause. Acupuncture and
Chinese herbs are very effective at fixing the underlying cause of many women's complaints, allowing you to
deal with the problem when it first happens, rather than later when
it's had time to settle in.

control over their anxiety.
Why Is Acupuncture So Good For Teens?
This is the perfect time to set up a healthy
internal balance and strengthen your constitution, ready to take on the
world.
Part of growing up is recognising when you could use a little extra
support. Even when you're healthy, excess school work, extracurricular
activities, or social pressures can start to make you feel a bit
swamped. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs can help you take it in your
stride, helping you feel in control again.
Acupuncture is
especially good if you need a release but don't feel like talking much,
you can simply let any anger, worries or anxieties go, without having
to talk about it. You will be amazed how good you feel after a
treatment.
If you feel physically
or emotional depleted and imbalanced, acupuncture is a gentle, painless
way of drawing the body back into balance, so you can not only handle
daily stress, but also grow and thrive.
