Acupuncture & Reflexology

Sanae Baba

Acupuncture, Craniosacral, Acupressure, Reflexology

Japanese-born Sanae started her journey in complementary health in 2003. Trained in traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture at the College of Naturopathic Medicine, and in craniosacral therapy at the College of Craniosacral Therapy, Sanae specialises in reproductive health, including IVF support, menstrual problems, hormonal disorders, fertility, pregnancy, and postnatal care. However, the scope of her therapy includes musculoskeletal discomfort, such as inflammation and pain, allergies, digestive disorders, depression, anxiety, and stress.

Acupuncture has traditionally been used to help the body restore balance, addressing the root of the disorder and specific symptoms that are unique to the individual. Clinical research has shown that acupuncture causes physical responses in nerve cells, the pituitary gland, and various parts of the brain. These responses can cause the body to release proteins, hormones, and brain chemicals that control a number of bodily functions. In this way, acupuncture can affect a multitude of symptoms, resulting in improved quality of life, and greater control of autoimmune diseases.

Craniosacral therapy, on the other hand, engages with the most profound inherent healing forces within the body, promoting natural motion and rhythmic movements of the cranial bones, sacrum and other tissues and fluids. It is effective for a host of physical and emotional problems, including headaches, breathing difficulties, back pain, and stress. Additionally, mothers and babies often come with problems associated with difficult or traumatic births. Letting go of tension and fear held in the body enables both to settle into calmness. Sanae’s treatments also incorporate a variety of Eastern and Western massage techniques, such as deep-tissue massage, acupressure, and reflexology, enhancing the overall effect by relaxing muscles and improving blood flow and working on additional pressure points.

Sanae is a member of ANP (Association of Naturopathic Practitioners) and CThA (Complementary Therapists Association).

Ged Ferguson

Acupuncturist

With over a decade of experience working in the Notting Hill and Kensington area, Ged's practice focuses on identifying emotional root causes of physical, mental, and behavioral problems. In order to experience true and authentic healing, it is necessary to uncover the root cause of disharmony.

Ged sees the body as a library of information that reflects our present experience and reflects our historical conditions. When the information held within the body is identified and addressed in a safe and supportive way, we can live our lives to the fullest.

As part of the 5 Element model of acupuncture, the emotional body and its energetic correspondences within the body's meridian system are treated, supported and balanced.

Bio-dynamic Cranio-sacral therapy focuses on listening to the body with a light touch, which encourages the body to release blocks and stagnation that impede the flow of vitality and life force.

Both systems can be offered as stand-alone therapies by Ged, but both are typically used within the same treatment experience.
