THE ART
OF WELLNESS
&
THE SCIENCE
OF RESULTS
My name is Ela, and I am a well-rounded Chinese medicine practitioner at Zest Acupuncture & Integral Wellness.
I founded this holistic health clinic with a single focus: to provide effective, integrated solutions for those struggling with chronic pain and complex health problems. Our goal is to restore physical, mental, and emotional balance.
I am fully qualified, insured and registered with ATCM (The Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture). I am committed to the highest possible standards.
At Zest Acupuncture, we specialise in resolving chronic health issues that have not responded to conventional treatment. Before I studied Chinese medicine, my scientific work in mathematics and data science taught me how to solve complex puzzles. This analytical thinking, paired with deep intuition and a diagnostic approach of Chinese medicine, allows us to move beyond surface-level symptoms to identify the underlying root cause of your discomfort. We then integrate this understanding with time-tested healing practices, creating a truly modern and effective form of acupuncture and holistic medicine.
We take a multi-faceted approach to treating pain, illness, and emotional well-being. Most sessions are a customised blend of modalities. Our methods combine targeted acupuncture, therapeutic bodywork, and holistic nutrition or herbal medicine. By integrating a discussion of lifestyle, we create a tailored pathway to your well-being.

SOVEREIGN BODY
Your body holds the story of your life – its stresses, its strengths, and all it has endured. Healing means addressing not only the symptoms but also restoring the functionality of the nervous, circulatory and digestive systems.
By weaving together Chinese Medicine principles, bodywork, breath, and sound, we address the connection between your physical discomfort and emotional well-being
The ANCIENT MEDICINE IS PERSONAL
You will experience an approach that is uniquely tailored to you. We have over a decade of experience helping people through pain, health issues and emotional challenges. We begin not with a prescription, but with a conversation, a curious exploration of your signs, symptoms, and the story behind them. Through attentive listening and gentle palpation, you will feel seen and understood.
Acupressure / MYOFASCIAL WORK TO RELEASE
You will experience the healing power of the TOUCH, which acts both as communication and as a healing. You will feel the release of deep tension. As we use acupressure and gentle myofascial techniques, you will experience:
Relaxation as your nervous system settles into calm
The gentle easing of muscular stiffness and chronic pain
Improved circulation, bringing warmth and vitality back to your tissues.
A soothing sensation in your digestion as internal stress melts away.
This process releases tension, not just from the body, but from the emotional weight it holds.
Acupuncture to Harmonise
You will discover a state of deep tranquility with acupuncture. The energy, blood, and lymph begin to flow freely again. You will:
ease pain,
notice the quieting of your mind,
access a profound stillness where long-held tensions finally let go.
This is your nervous system’s invitation to rest, repair, and remember its state of ease.
VISCERAL THERAPY to ease Emotional Burden
Past emotional burden, such as grief or anger, can be stored in your body. They are lodged in your organs and fascial network as physical tension. Using gentle, precise abdominal massage (visceral therapy), we work to release these deeply held patterns. You will:
- Sense your body letting go of burdens it no longer needs to carry.
Experience a newfound sense of lightness and internal space.
BREATH AND SOUND
You will find calm through slow, rhythmic diaphragmatic breathing.
A SPACE FOR AN INTEGRAL WELLNESS
You will find a safe, supportive haven here. This is a place without pressure.
You will be supported as you gently process what arises, discovering the powerful links between your physical and emotional self. You will leave not just feeling better, but equipped with a deeper understanding of your own body and a renewed sense of possibility for your well-being.
You are invited to heal.
3-STEP APPROACH to holistic healing
Chronic fatigue, pain, and emotional sensitivity can cloud your life. When stress and pressure exceed your capacity to cope, your body bears the burden:
Chronic Fatigue and low energy
Muscle Tension and physical pain
Restricted Fascia leading to stiffness
Poor Circulation and lymphatic congestion
Digestive Discomfort (like bloating or IBS)
Compromised Organ Function and sluggish detoxification
These lie at the heart of chronic pain, be it physical or emotional, creating a profound, whole-body impact on your health.
DOES IT SOUND LIKe YOUR LIFE?
You may be navigating one or more of these common, personal challenges:
The Anxious Knot: A racing mind that fuels anxiety, makes small decisions feel overwhelming, and holds you back from living fully.
The Silent Ache: A body that communicates through persistent pain and fatigue, a constant reminder of the vitality you’re missing.
The Internal Storm: Digestive issues like bloating, IBS, or nausea that dictate your diet, social life, and daily comfort.
The Ebb and Flow: Hormonal or thyroid imbalances that cloud your mood, drain your energy, and make you feel heavy in body and spirit.
The Unspoken Weight: The emotional residue of past stress or trauma, stored in your body, dimming your inner light and confidence.
If you feel you have tried everything only to hit another dead end, your frustration is completely valid.
PATH of PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
I understand your struggle not just from a clinical perspective, but from a personal one. I know the frustration, and I understand chronic health challenges because I have lived them.
When my twins were born with significant health problems, I spent over ten years searching for real answers. It was a personal mission that led me to study more than thirty different forms of acupuncture and holistic healing systems. I was determined to find what truly works, not just what covers things up.
I’ve been in that place of helplessness and despair where nothing seems to make sense, and I know the weight of it. I walked that long road and tested multiple approaches, so you don’t have to.
Now, I practise the clear, effective path that came from all that searching, to help you find your way back to feeling like yourself again.
Our INTEGRAL Approach to Holistic Renewal
True healing requires addressing the body, mind, and spirit as one interconnected system. We facilitate your body’s innate ability to heal itself.
STEP 1. FOUNDATION. RELEASE Physical blockages.
This first step restores your body’s fundamental capacity for self-healing. We begin by targeting the root physical causes of your pain and dis-ease.
Before medications, supplements, or advanced protocols can truly be effective, we must first create the conditions for them to work. This means releasing the physical tension, knots, fascial restrictions, and systemic congestion or diaphgram dysfunction, that hinder your body’s innate wisdom.
This is where specialised acupuncture, lymphatic drainage, and myofascial release shine. They are so essential!
They work to improve circulation, calm the nervous system, and create space for your body’s systems to function as they should. Without this vital foundation, other well-intentioned approaches often just manage symptoms.
STEP 2. RESOLVE Emotional & Mental Roots.
We then address the emotional and mental patterns that contribute to imbalance. Through mindful practice and creating a safe space for release, we facilitate deep and complete change, allowing you to let go of the stored stress that fuels physical symptoms.
STEP 3: REPLENISH Your Core Resources.
Finally, we address underlying deficiencies to rebuild your foundation. This ensures your body and mind have the resources needed to maintain lasting equilibrium and vitality.
Reconnect with a Life of Clarity and Joy
It is time to break the cycle of fatigue and pain. You deserve to restore your natural energy and reconnect with the joy of being.

THE STRESS…
The overwhelm.
The confusion.
The tightness in your chest
You’ve learned to carry it all – but your body is saying “ENOUGH”.
You’re running on empty.
You’re tired but can’t sleep.
Your digestion is off, your headaches are frequent, and your nervous system is stuck in high alert.
You’ve tried to push through – because that’s what you do. BUT…
DEEP DOWN…
You know
something is
out of alignment.
IT’S TIME TO…
TREAT YOURSELF
TO
DEEP CALM
AND LIFE
WITHOUT PAIN
The ZEST WELLNESS DIFFERENCE
Our mission is to ease your pain and restore your wellness through natural, effective therapies. We believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms.
For our patients, this often leads to a profound shift, where improved physical health walks hand-in-hand with renewed emotional strength, deep CALM, and overall well-being.
What makes our High Peak Clinic unique is not just what we do, but how we do it. We have built a wellness experience around three core principles:
Multi-modal, Integral Approach.
There is a wealth of knowledge and experience under one roof. Several modalities are usually combined into a single treatment to ensure you receive the most effective care. And we address all the aspects: emotional, mental and physical – this is what “integral” means.
The Gift of Time: Unrushed Visits.
We believe thorough care cannot be rushed. That is why we schedule longer appointments than traditional clinics. This allows us the space to truly listen, perform assessments, and provide comprehensive, tailored treatments that address the root cause of your concerns
A Mission-Driven Practice
It is a heart-centred practice with effective approaches. Our primary focus is always on people. We practice the art of restoring Wellness.
We are here to assist you and look forward to hearing from you.

WHO is it FOR?
The power of Chinese medicine is in its comprehensive approach to your well-being. It is uniquely capable of solving physical ailments, easing emotional turbulence, and calming mental chatter.
If pain, tension, or fatigue persist despite your efforts, it may be because their roots lie deeper- in life transitions, emotional patterns, or a body that has learned to hold stress.
You don’t just want a temporary fix. You want to:
Feel grounded during life’s upheavals.
Unlock the emotional roots of physical pain.
Cultivate a confident, resilient presence.
Understand the connections between your stress, energy, and well-being.
Our collaborative work addresses the whole story. We provide the tools to release stored tension, regulate your nervous system, and empower you to navigate life with less struggle.
For a complete picture, we can include astrological birth chart analysis or human design aspects to guide your unique path of self-discovery and healing.
Please ask if you are interested. This is an add-on or a separate session.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
The Foundation
In a world that is busy with action, we have lost touch with the most essential element of health: the state of Being. We believe that inner peace and self-connection are not luxuries, but the very foundation from which effective and sustainable Doing can flourish.
Being gives rise to Doing.
Beyond the To-Do List
Many of us live led by the “Commander”. It is the part of us that resides in the mind, relying on logic, judgment, and an endless to-do list. The Commander pushes forward, often silencing the body’s needs through sheer will. To meet high expectations, you learned to disconnect.
But your body has been speaking all along. It sends signals through pain, fatigue, and a deep sense of misalignment. A moment of crisis – be it injury, burnout, or persistent pain – is often the body’s plea for you to stop and listen.
YOUR JOURNEY BACK TO WELLNESS
We are here to help you answer that call. We see the body not as a problem to be fixed, but as a wise, wounded child that needs compassionate attention, touch, and care. Our role is to help you interpret its signals and provide the comfort she has been seeking.
Through a unique blend of acupuncture, mindful bodywork, breath practices, myofascial release, sound, and herbal wisdom, we facilitate deep healing from the inside out.
THE PATH TO FLOURISHING
This journey of reconnection allows you to:
Release stored pain and chronic stress.
Restore your natural energy and vitality.
Unlock the profound connection between your body and mind.
Transform old wounds into sources of personal strength.
When you feel grounded and whole within yourself, every aspect of your life begins to flourish.
Come. Heal. Become whole again.
