Root Five

The Root Five Method

Root Five is a simple framework to help you better understand your body, mind and emotions through the lens of Five Element acupuncture and weaving this with yoga and simple movement.

It brings together movement, breath, acupressure and awareness - helping you to recognise whats going on in your system and what you need to feel more balanced and at ease.

What is Root Five?

Root Five is based on the Five Elements - a traditional system used in Chinese Medicine to understand how the body, mind and emotions are connected.

Each element reflects different qualities within us - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually - and how we respond to life.

Rather than looking at things in isolation, this approach helps you see the bigger picture - how everything is interconnected, and how small shifts can support the whole system.

Testimonials

"Shelley has a unique gift of explaining a complex system in a simple to understand way. Seeing the diagram of the elements and how each relate to different parts of us, then how they all interact with each other is absolutely fascinating! And above all helpful; having this way of understanding myself and what it feels like to be in balance and then what it feels like when out of balance, along with what I can then do to help bring a state a flow to my system is profound in its effect. Thank you Shelley for bringing this wonderful framework into an accessible workshop!"

Throughout the process Shelley made sure that I understood the nature of my treatment, and was also careful to manage my expectations. Having previous experience of acupuncture treatment, I have found her method incredibly professional and effective and would recommend her to anyone who has reached a dead-end with conventional medicine, or who just wants to find greater well-being and balance in their lives."

"I originally came to see Shelley because I was having a miscarriage and it was not physically straightforward. She was kind, compassionate and understanding; having acupuncture with her was very helpful, both for my body and my heart, which was feeling pretty bruised. During the weeks afterwards, as I went through some unpleasant hormonal ups and downs related to the aftermath of the miscarriage, Shelley was able to support my body doing what it needed to do. Shelley is intuitive, listens keenly and has a gift for asking exactly the right questions. She's great at holding a space for vulnerability and making that feel very safe.

Her passion for her work, and care for her patients shines through in every appointment. I've learnt a lot about myself and how I tick through my time with Shelley, and now see acupuncture as an important tool for supporting me through the ups and downs of life - physical, emotional and spiritual, as and when needed."

"I had been suffering from menopause related hot flushes for around 15 months. Some days I would have upwards of 30 flushes and was never able to sleep for more than an hour at a time as a result. It was making me utterly miserable. Unable to take HRT due to issues with DVTs previously, I tried various other natural remedies, but nothing touched it. A friend recommended that I try acupuncture as she had heard it was great for dealing with hot flushes. I had an initial consultation with Shelley and signed up for a course of one treatment a week for six weeks. After my 5th treatment, the hot flushes stopped completely.

I cannot tell you the relief that I felt. I now have a treatment every 2 – 3 weeks and I haven’t had any hot flushes now for over 3 months. I also feel calmer, more balanced, better at dealing with everyday stresses and issues and altogether more positive in my outlook. I cannot recommend Shelley highly enough; she has significantly changed my life for the better."

ST

"I initially started having acupuncture with Shelley for support during IVF and then continued throughout pregnancy to ease sickness and other symptoms. She also helped with low mood. Shelley is always incredibly welcoming, warm, easy to speak to and very knowledgeable regarding treatment. I always leave a session feeling both rejuvenated and relaxed. I would recommend her to anyone."

"I started seeing Shelley for fatigue following a viral infection. Almost immediately after my first treatment I began to have more strength and energy. Shelley is empathetic, attentive, and always makes me feel welcome and relaxed. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and tailors the treatment to your specific needs. I have recommended her to several family members and friends. I found having acupuncture highly effective in overcoming post-viral fatigue. Shelley is fantastic at explaining why she is covering certain points. The needles are very comfortable and on occasion I’ve forgotten they’re in!

"I would highly recommend Shelley. I have worked with Shelley for several months now and originally visited for a hormonal health concern which Shelley has helped me to resolve. Shelley has a positive and caring nature and I know she has tailored the acupuncture to my specific health needs. Overall I feel that I have more energy and I am more focused and balanced as a result."

"I visited Shelley for a treatment for shingles around my waist and found her to be a very professional, caring practitioner. She obviously completely believes in what she does and is good at explaining the fundamental principles and ideas behind acupuncture. She also believes in treating the ‘whole person’ and holds a consultation before each treatment evaluating any improvements or setbacks both physically and mentally and offers good, sound advice covering a whole spectrum of problems. She has the patience to listen to any problems no matter how irrelevant they appear to the matter in hand.

This has been invaluable for me as shingles is an extremely debilitating and painful condition, often resulting in depression and Shelley has the skills to give advice regarding the bad days but not forgetting to recognise the good days and celebrate them, no matter how small the steps. The acupuncture treatment I found to be painless and relaxing and delivered in a calm, efficient manner and an hour spent in her quiet, serene room is, in itself, an aid to recovery. I would definitely recommend Shelley as she is an asset to her profession."

"I found Shelley out of pure coincidence; I was having a medical and saw Shelley’s website. I thought how handy it would be if I could sort my back out. Personally I think it was fate and at last a bit of luck had come my way for once in my life, so of course I booked an appointment. I went in there thinking I was just going to have a bunch of needles and that would be that but no; Shelley took me through a journey that I hid from my past and brought it to a head. She became my inspiration not only for my mind but my body and soul. The back was no longer an issue, which incidentally she resolved almost straight away.

Every single session I had with Shelley became an emotional ride and for better. I finally found a light at the end of the tunnel guarded by an angel. I can't thank her enough, just wonderful. I would recommend to anyone. Money is just not enough for what Shelley did for me. P.S. I wrote this ages ago on paper and thought maybe it was not good enough to send. Now reading it again it brought a smile and a tear to my face and I thought, yes, I will send this because this is what I really felt at the time. Thank you so much for your upstanding helpfulness and treatments Shelley. Will see you again."

"I can recommend Shelley for professionalism with kindness and care. Her approach is holistic and I found it to be of great benefit. She is an experienced practitioner who has really helped with my problems. Acupuncture is far better than taking endless pills. I felt a deep sense of relaxation during the treatments."

"From my first appointment I knew I was in very safe hands. Shelley listened and understood what I needed, and treated me appropriately; looking after my physical and emotional health. Shelley is a fantastic practitioner who I whole heartedly and highly recommend."
