Wendy Francis acupuncture shiatsu practitioner

Wendy Francis FwSS, DCHAc

Shiatsu & Acupuncture Therapist

Time to come back! Or maybe try Shiatsu or acupuncture for the first time?

Find information on these pages to help you manage your health, or if you live in the UK near the Towcester - Daventry -  Banbury - Northampton - Milton Keynes area come to our individual or group sessions.

Acupuncture and Shiatsu facilitate the healing process by setting the conditions right for the body to do what it wants to do on its own. They achieve this by promoting circulation, relieving nearby muscle tension and interrupting nerve pain signals.

For individual treatments you choose whether you would like Acupuncture, Shiatsu, or a combination of both. Wendy will also recommend simple exercises for you to do in between sessions, and she will suggest changes in diet and lifestyle that you can try in order to improve your health and well-being.

Wendy Francis

Wendy Francis is a qualified Acupuncturist and Shiatsu practitioner, having completed a three year Shiatsu training course with the British School of Shiatsu-Do, Bedford Branch, plus a postgraduate year, followed by two years further training in Chinese Healthcare and Acupuncture at Acumedic in London, leading to a diploma awarded by the CMIR (Chinese Medical Institute and Register) and the University of Beijing.

For Wendy the attraction of Acupuncture and Shiatsu is twofold. It has enabled her to get in touch with her own healing energy, which has resulted in a great improvement in her own health, and it also means that she can help others make this discovery for themselves.

Personal Energy Coaching

It's all about THE DAY BEFORE

Your energy today depends on what you did THE DAY BEFORE.  You can manage your energy.

Do you sometimes have low energy days, or perhaps you feel tired ALL the time?  I can help you examine your lifestyle and find out where you can make improvements, sometimes minor, sometimes with a bit more effort,  but ALWAYS life changing.

Ki in Japanese is the word for energy - much the same as Qi in Chinese.  It's our life force. We breathe it in and it circulates around our body and keeps us alive.  It will happen without our thinking about it, but it is the quality of this energy and how we manage it that is important.

I always work with you and your energy in Acupuncture (link), Shiatsu (link), or a combination of both. I recommend simple exercises for you to do in between sessions, and suggest changes in diet and lifestyle that you can try in order to improve your health and well-being.

 

Measure your energy digitally

I am excited to tell you that I have now added another tool to my services that will enable you to measure your energy digitally.  By wearing a simple monitoring device for two or three days each month (or more if you wish), you can see what your energy level is at any time of day or night, and at the end of the measuring period it will give you a full report that we discuss together to see how we can implement the changes that will be required to improve your energy.  The aspects monitored are your sleep, your exercise and your restorative powers.
