About Annabelle
Senior practitioner & owner Annabelle Knight BSc (Hons) MBAcC Lic.Ac
Annabelle initially trained as a TCM herbalist working with both humans & animals. Following a near death experience from a serious illness she altered her focus towards classical acupuncture & after studying for 5 years, graduated from the International College of Oriental Medicine with a BSc (Hons) degree.
Annabelle is passionate about what she does & also about educating as many people as possible, about the benefits of regaining control of their health with the use of acupuncture. With our National Health system at near breaking point it makes sense to get & keep healthy in order to avoid the treadmill of tests/medications & surgery.
In the UK currently 1 in 7 people live with chronic pain or discomfort. Whilst the normal answer is to pop a pill or get the GP to prescribe something stronger, this does not work for 1 in 4 sufferers.
By promoting the use of acupuncture & laser thaerapy for pain relief, Annabelle is seeing amazing results for all types of pain.
My mission is to promote affordable treatment for everyone
Why did I become an acupuncturist?
After contracting a mutated form of diphtheria from a donkey that I was treating, I spent almost 2 months in hospital. After suffering the devastating effects of this nerve damaging disease I was sent home unable to talk from paralysed vocal chords, virtually unable to walk due to the damaged nerve cells in my leg muscles & weighing just 6 1/2 stone due to the inability to eat properly. My heart was also affected & I had virtually 100% peripheral neuropathy. Unfortunately western doctors had nothing to offer to aid my recovery & I was told to make the best of my life.
My children were desperate to help me & contacted a local Chinese Doctor that they knew I had worked with in the past. Unable to swallow any herbs, the only possible treatment was acupuncture. At first I was treated at home lying virtually unable to move, on my own sofa. After several weeks I improved so much that I was able to start driving & by the 6th week I recall skipping across the road in front of my Chinese Doctors practise while she clapped & cheered at the door!
At my follow up consultation with the hospital 3 months later I actually spoke to my consultant who could not believe his ears or eyes.
I attribute my recovery to the amazing power of acupuncture. It healed me & it can do the same for you!!
Services
At Green Dragon you are offered a wide range of holistic therapies at very affordable prices.
The most ancient practice of Classical Acupuncture, a method of healing which dates back many thousands of years, is integrated with the most up to date, state of the art Omega Laser System. This powerful combination means that many acute & chronic issues can be addressed to give you a rapid & positive healing response.
CLASSICAL ACUPUNCTURE
Classical acupuncture is based on the ancient texts of several thousand years ago, when acupuncture first materialised. It works on a holistic level and seeks to bring the natural energy of the body - 'Qi' to a state of balance that ensures healing & continual good health.
LASER THERAPY
Low level laser Therapy uses the natural power of light to heal & repair. This non invasive, pain free technique is suitable for a wide range of problems.
DERMAL ROLLING/MICRO NEEDLING THERAPY
Also known as skin needling or collagen induction therapy (CIT), this 'non-ablative' therapy has been practised for more than 25 years. This technique is completely safe providing its is practiced by a fully trained therapist, & produces comparable results to dermabrasion & chemical peels, but is far less invasive. It leaves the epidermis intact, which results in faster healing.
Collagen and elastin are produced in response to the needles entering the top layer of skin, and as a result, treatment can effectively benefit a range of issues such as:
- Fine lines & wrinkles
- Acne scars & pitted scars
- Skin texture issues
- Pigmentation marks
- Spider/thread veins
- Open pores
Micro needling massively improves the penetration of creams, gels & oils. As the tiny needles penetrate the epidermis they create micro channels in the skin. Studies show that the absorption of topical creams is enhanced by several 100%. These channels will close up within 90 minutes.
At the end of your treatment a range of performance boosting products will be applied to your skin enabling results to be enhanced leading to healthier, smoother, softer & more radiant skin.
COSMETIC/FACIAL REJUVENATION ACUPUNCTURE
This therapy utilises the ability of local needle application to stimulate collogen production along laughter and frown lines. It also works with the faces natural structures to enhance & lift slack muscles thereby reducing the effects of ageing & gravity!
