Hello, I am Alta.  I  came to Scotland from Mongolia in 2002


I qualified to practice acupuncture and sports massage in the UK in March 2014 and have been working locally in Dingwall and Inverness. 


below is what I offer -



Traditional acupuncture


Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) considers that health is the result of a harmonious balance of the complementary extremes of yin and yang of life.  Advocates believe that illness is the consequence of an imbalance of these forces


Acupuncture is the stimulation of acu-points along the skin of the body involving various methods such as the application of heat, finger pressure/dry needling, or the penetration of thin needles that bring the energy flow back into balance.


When using needles (only pre-sterilized and disposable needles are used)



Cupping


‘Cupping’ is a form of treatment used for centuries to relieve back pain, neck pain, headaches, tight muscles, and other problems. Cupping is a powerful detoxifying, pain relieving and energy building modality.

Cupping therapy involves glass ‘cup’ adhering to the skin by means of suction. The suction is produced by introducing of a flame into the cup which exhausts the oxygen in the cup. 


One of the advantages of these therapies is that they do not have unpleasant side-effects. This is because they work with your body rather than against it, gently stimulating your natural powers of self-healing.


After your consultation you will be given a treatment plan with a recommendation of how often you should come in for treatment based on your treatment goals and your specific condition.



Sports Massage


My treatment  will combine acupuncture therapy with sports massage, depending on the conditions. The term “massage” covers a wide range of techniques, each of which has its own individual benefits. Swedish massage uses kneading combined with deep circular movements and tapping for a rejuvenating experience. Also, Traditional Chinese Therapy applies similar techniques of kneading and rubbing key pressure points on the body.


I will ask questions about your medical history and questions annoy your reason for coming in.  after the treatment I will provide you with suggestions for follow-up along with possible lifestyle advice and excersises. 


( will use Chinese manage oil but can use cetraben cream if required)



Cosmetic acupuncture for the face


​Facial rejuvenation acupuncture is a safe, natural, drug-free and effective way to keep you looking and feeling your best. 


Cosmetic acupuncture is specifically designed to improve facial appearance by reducing fine lines and wrinkles, improving facial muscle tone, and rejuvenating dull, lifeless, or aging skin. Through the micro-stimulation of points on the face, natural collagen and elastin production is built up. This leaves the face more supple and smooth, while minimizing fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of aging. Cosmetic acupuncture can also be used to treat acne, sinus, and tired eyes. 


At the same time as undertaking cosmetic acupuncture I can perform traditional body acupuncture which can help with many conditions including stress, sleep difficulties, digestion problems and low energy levels. Also, gender specifically, problems related to menopause. 


It should be stressed that facial acupuncture is not a ‘quick fix’, but part of a holistic approach to health. Cosmetic acupuncture leaves you looking and feeling your best; you will look better in part because you will feel better.


visible results can usually be seen after the first treatment. longer lasting change generally occur with a series of 10-12 sessions.  the effects of facial acupuncture are cumulative and can last many years.


Please note that cosmetic acupuncture will not be given to anyone who is pregnant or who has had facial Botox treatment.
