How can I help?
it is never about fitting someone into a category
Karen;
Lut truly is the healing essence.
I originally signed up for acupuncture to help with burnout and vocal issues. Lut immediately put me at ease and made me feel so listened to, safe and cared for.
She has a wealth of knowledge and experience in integral systems and could pinpoint exact areas physically, mentally and emotionally that I needed support.
I would highly recommend having a mixture of integrated therapies as Lut is so knowledgable at knowing exactly what your body and mind is asking for during each session.
She cares for each client and takes time at beginning of each session to really get to the root cause of needs and concerns.
She has so much warmth and healing energy about her and I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.

Seeing the Big Picture
Many people come to me after trying different treatments without finding the answers they were looking for. Their symptoms may have become more persistent, more complex, or simply harder to understand.
​
That's why my work begins with listening, observing and asking the right questions—not making assumptions.
​
What changed?
What happened before this?
What patterns are emerging?
​
With over 30 years of clinical experience, I've learned that understanding these patterns often provides the key to choosing the most effective treatment.
​
Rather than following a standard protocol, every treatment is shaped by what your body is telling us at that moment. Where appropriate, acupuncture is combined with complementary therapies and practical guidance to support your health both inside and beyond the treatment room.
Improvements You May Notice
Everyone responds to treatment differently, and change doesn't always happen in the same order.
​
For some people, the first shift is simply feeling calmer or sleeping more deeply. For others, it's noticing less pain, clearer thinking, improved energy, or feeling better able to cope with everyday life.
​
As treatment progresses, people often describe:​​
-
Feeling more settled and less overwhelmed
-
A reduction in pain and physical tension
-
Better sleep and improved recovery
-
More consistent energy throughout the day
-
Fewer headaches or migraine episodes
-
Improvements in digestion and general wellbeing
-
Feeling more resilient during periods of stress
-
A deeper sense of balance and connection
I have been seeing Lut for acupuncture sessions since the beginning of the year.
I experienced a head trauma during my first seizure few weeks before I met Lut and I’ve been suffering from moderate anxiety. My overall health had been quite poor. I was on the edge of diabetes, my period was incredibly painful, I was constantly feeling so exhausted.
It’s been 5months since our first acupuncture and craniosacral therapy.
I feel like a new human being. Physically and mentally. The feeling I have after each of our sessions is absolutely beyond everything.
Dear Lut, Thank you so much for the energy you are able to release in me. It’s really amazing how it’s working so well for me. Absolutely pain free. My mind feels so clear and calm.
Thank you for the miracles you do dear Lut. My soul, my mind and my entire body are forever grateful.

What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a traditional therapeutic approach that uses very fine, sterile needles placed at specific points on the body to support balance, circulation, and the body’s natural regulation systems.
​
From a modern perspective, acupuncture is understood to interact with the nervous system and may help influence how the body responds to pain, stress, and internal regulation. Many people find it supports relaxation, improves physical comfort, and helps the body shift out of prolonged stress states.
​
However, what matters most is not the theory—it is how you respond to treatment.
​
At Healing the Essence, acupuncture is never used as a one-size-fits-all technique. Each treatment is tailored to your individual presentation, taking into account your physical symptoms, emotional wellbeing, lifestyle, and overall health picture.
​
The aim is simple: to help your body move toward a more regulated, balanced state so you can feel more comfortable, more resilient, and more at ease in daily life.​​​
Frequently Asked Questions
Is acupuncture evidence-based?
Yes—acupuncture is supported by a growing body of scientific research, particularly in the areas of pain management, stress, and certain functional health conditions.
​
Studies suggest that acupuncture may influence the nervous system, help regulate the body’s stress response, improve circulation, and stimulate the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals such as endorphins.
​
While research continues to evolve and results can vary between individuals, many people experience positive outcomes when acupuncture is used as part of a broader approach to health and wellbeing.
​
At Healing the Essence, acupuncture is used in a thoughtful, integrative way—combining traditional understanding with modern insight to support each person’s individual needs.
What Does Acupuncture Feel Like?
One of the most common questions I hear is:
​
"Does Acupuncture needle hurt?"
​​​
The needles used are extremely fine—much thinner than those used for injections.​
You may notice:
​
• a slight tingling sensation
• warmth
• heaviness
• gentle pressure
​
Many people are surprised by how comfortable treatment feels, with some even falling asleep during their session.
How many sessions will I need?
Every person is different.
Some people notice changes after one or two treatments, while long-standing conditions often benefit from a course of sessions.
After your first consultation, I'll recommend a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Is acupuncture safe?
Yes.
I use sterile, single-use disposable needles and follow strict professional hygiene standards.
Can acupuncture be combined with medical treatment?
In many cases, yes.
Many clients choose acupuncture alongside the care they receive from their GP or specialist. If you have any questions about your specific circumstances, we'll discuss these during your consultation.
Can I have acupuncture if I'm nervous about needles?
Absolutely.
Many people arrive feeling anxious about needles and are pleasantly surprised by how gentle acupuncture can be.
Treatment is always carried out at a pace you're comfortable with.
What should I wear?
Loose, comfortable clothing is ideal.
Depending on the area being treated, you may be asked to uncover part of the body while maintaining your comfort and privacy at all times.
