Helen Hayes - Acupuncture
Few people realise the potential of acupuncture, and even fewer know that acupuncture is not painful and can be incredibly relaxing. Acupuncture can strengthen your immune system, decrease pain by producing natural pain killers, regulate hormonal cycles and stimulate endorphin and serotonin release, the chemicals in the brain responsible for well being and happiness.

Helen is a mother and also the co-founder of Mama Nu (www.mamanu.co.uk), a specialist antenatal acupuncture clinic and a member of the Acupuncturists Fertility Network (www.acupuncture-fertility.org).
