Alexandra Bennison (Acupuncture)

Acupuncture is an ancient system of medicine, utilising one’s own energy to promote health and well-being. The body is covered with a network of energy lines; meridians. Needles are gently inserted into specific acupuncture points along these meridians to adjust and re-establish a smooth flow of energy. When energy becomes blocked in the body it causes pain and dis-ease. Energy blockages can result in mental, emotional or physical symptoms. Acupuncture can be very useful in helping a wide variety of complaints. It can give pain relief in chronic conditions as well as treating more specific acute problems. It can be used safely alongside conventional medicine.

Alexandra is a mother of two daughters, who enjoys a healthy lifestyle. Her belief is that leading a wholesome life with good nutrition and exercise is the basis for health and happiness. However, she understands that the pressures of modern life sometimes force us to make compromises that can have a negative effect on our health. She uses Acupuncture and Massage Therapy to help people regain good health and harmony in their lives. Alexandra’s journey into natural health started with a passion for Yoga which led her to study Acupuncture at The International College of Oriental Medicine. This college specialises in Stems and Branches acupuncture, which bases treatments on individual needs and uses fewer needles. She graduated in 2002 and has since been practising across East Sussex.
