Hypnopuncture is a unique treatment that integrates acupuncture and hypnosis. It was a concept conceived by myself and hypnotherapist Paul Haynes. We wanted to design a therapy that really dealt with both the mind and body as we saw a large gap in the market when patients were looking for lifestyle treatments such as weight loss and stop smoking.

As an acupuncturist I had seen many patients for stop smoking that claimed they had tried hypnosis with no success but found it easy with acupuncture. Paul had a similar experience with patients trying acupuncture with no luck and yet succeeding with hypnosis. We wondered what would happen if you combined the two and offered a treatment that was not an either or choice. Patients would no longer have to try one way and then look for another alternative if that one did not work.

Our initial trials of the treatment came back with fantastic results and we wondered what other conditions we could treat with Hypnopuncture. By far the most popular treatment we provide is weight loss. The success we have had with helping people to lose weight has led to articles about Hypnopuncture being published in both the Evening Standard and the Daily Mail as well as several magazines.

Hypnopuncture previously has only been available in London but we are both looking forward to treating in Bushey’s newest therapy clinic – The Changing Room.
