The Qi Rising® Method

A Deep Dive into Your Health

At the heart of the Qi Rising® Method lies a commitment to deep understanding and personalised care - an approach built upon the time-honoured wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).


The Qi Rising® Method is a revolutionary integrative approach to TCM, designed to prioritise your unique health needs, offering a tailored approach to your well-being. Our comprehensive intake session, lasting 1 hour and 30 minutes, provides a dedicated space to delve into the complexities of your health puzzle.

In each subsequent appointment, we commit at least 20–30 minutes to focused consultation. This essential dialogue fosters an environment of trust and understanding, and allows us to continually refine and adapt your treatment plan as your body responds, and your needs naturally evolve. Healing is a collaborative journey, and we are here to support you every step of the way.

Solving the Puzzle

We believe that true wellness comes from addressing the root causes, not merely managing symptoms. By taking the time to listen, observe, and analyse, we can piece together the unique puzzle of your health. This holistic perspective allows us to craft an approach that's as individual as you are.

What to Expect

When you attend an appointment, you'll experience an approach that sets us apart:

  1. In-Depth Consultation: We begin with a thorough consultation, taking the time to truly listen and understand your concerns and goals. The intake appointment is dedicated to understanding your current situation, your past, present, and goals moving forward. During this conversation we start to put together the puzzle, in order to understand the cause of your complaints.

  2. Holistic Assessment: Using a variety of TCM diagnostic techniques proven over centuries, including tongue and pulse observation, we gain insight into the inner workings of your body. During this step we calculate your Qi Rising® Profile. This measurement is unique to you, and identifies your specific body constitution.

  3. Tailored Treatment: We create a personalised wellness plan that includes a range of targeted approaches, specific to your needs. These can range from moxibustion and acupuncture to breathwork, QR®Now acupuncture and Tui Na massage - to name a few. We always take the time to explain each approach and how it will help you, giving you the knowledge to make informed decisions every step of the way.

  4. Lifestyle Guidance: We offer comprehensive advice to support your journey beyond our sessions, and to work towards balance in your life. This takes into consideration many factors including your living environment, sources of emotional imbalance, diet, connection with nature, exercise etc.

  5. Responding to Change: As your body begins to heal, your body and needs change. We tailor our approach in response to these changes, to ensure you receive the care that will benefit you the most.

The Qi Rising® Profile (QRP)

Central to the Qi Rising® Method is your QRP; a fingerprint of sorts, determined by the constitutional composition of your body.

What is the QRP?

Your QRP is unique to you, based on 50 distinct variables to assess:

  • Dominant Element: This is the element most prevalent in your body.

  • Secondary Element: The second-most prevalent element in your body.

  • Yin/Yang Balance: Whether Yin or Yang is dominant in your body is vital to understanding the best way to approach your complaints and underlying issues.

  • Qi-Flow: A proprietary measure, which allows us to better understand how Qi is flowing within your body.

Example Qi Rising® Profile:

WF-Yang-S

W points to Water as being the most dominant element.

F indicates Fire is the second-most dominant element.

Yang tells us that Yang is dominant within you, and that Yin may be deficient

S tells us that there is Stagnant Qi in your body
