One ordinary day
Your health is connected
Your body hasa lot to tell us.
A restless night. A persistent ache. A feeling of being constantly on edge. Low energy that makes everyday things harder than they should be.
Sometimes these concerns appear together. Sometimes one affects another. East Asian medicine looks at the relationships between different aspects of your health, physical, mental and emotional, to build a fuller understanding of what may be happening.
At Nature's Qi Health, we take time to listen to the whole story.
Because understanding what you're experiencing is where thoughtful care begins.
How can we help?
Whatever brings you here,we begin with you.
You may have one particular concern you'd like help with, or several things that seem connected. We can explore what matters most to you and whether acupuncture and East Asian medicine may be appropriate for your needs.
Pain & Movement
Support for people experiencing ongoing aches, muscular tension and physical discomfort.
No two people arrive with quite the same story. And no two people respond to treatment in exactly the same way. That's why your care is guided by you.

Ingrid Hauge · Forres, Moray
The person behind the practice
Experience matters.So does listening.
Your body knows its own story. My job is to listen closely enough to hear it.
I'm Ingrid, and my approach to acupuncture and East Asian medicine has been shaped by many years of working with people, each with their own experiences, needs and ways of responding. One thing I've learned is the importance of remaining curious.
I believe we're part of nature, and that our physical, emotional and mental wellbeing are deeply interconnected. I also believe in helping you become more involved in your own healthcare. My practice in Forres is surrounded by nature, a peaceful, welcoming place to focus on your health.
East Asian medicine offers a way of understanding health that considers the relationships between different systems, experiences and influences in our lives.
At Nature's Qi Health, treatments are informed by Classical Chinese medicine and adapted to your individual circumstances.
Acupuncture
Fine needles are placed at selected points as part of an individual treatment. Your comfort, concerns and response are considered throughout.
East Asian Medicine
Traditional approaches that consider the wider patterns of your health, including physical, emotional and lifestyle factors.
Warming Therapies
Warmth from infrared lamps can form part of your care where appropriate, and moxa can be given for you to use at home. Particularly welcome in Moray's cooler climate.
Practical Self-Care
Simple, realistic guidance to help you understand your health and take an active role in your wellbeing between appointments.
The aim is to find an approach that makes sense for you, and to keep reviewing it as we go.
Words from patients: what matters is how you're cared for
Words from patients“Insert Ingrid's exact wordingThe treatments are always calming, and the extra care and aftercare advice have been really supportive and helpful between sessions. I always leave feeling better in myself, and I really appreciate the level of care throughout.Lisa Anderson
Patient experiences are individual and do not guarantee particular treatment outcomes.
What to expect
Come as you are.We'll begin there.
You don't need to understand acupuncture or East Asian medicine before your first appointment.
You can arrive with questions, concerns, uncertainty or simply a desire to explore another approach to your health. We'll begin with a conversation about your health history, what you're experiencing and what you'd like help with.
I'll explain the treatment approach, answer your questions and make sure you have the opportunity to share how you're feeling throughout. There's time to talk, time for treatment and time to consider what comes next.

Good to know
A few things youmight be wondering
Here are some common questions. If there's anything else you'd like to know, just get in touch. I'm always happy to help.
Acupuncture uses very fine needles, much thinner than those used for injections. Sensations vary from person to person and may include a brief prick, tingling, heaviness or warmth. Your comfort is always important, and you're encouraged to tell me how you're feeling.
How many treatments will I need?
That depends on your individual circumstances and how you respond. We'll discuss your progress as we go, reviewing the approach rather than assuming a fixed number of appointments will suit everyone.
Can acupuncture be used alongside conventional healthcare?
Acupuncture may be used alongside conventional care in some circumstances. Please tell me about any medical conditions, medications or treatments you're receiving so we can consider what is appropriate. Acupuncture should not replace necessary medical assessment or treatment.
Do you treat children and teenagers?
Yes. Care is adapted to the age, needs and comfort of each young person. Appointments may be shorter than those for adults.
Can I claim through health insurance?
Some health insurance policies may provide cover for acupuncture. Eligibility depends on your insurer and policy. Please check directly with your provider before booking.
What if I'm not sure acupuncture is right for me?
You're welcome to get in touch. We can discuss your questions and whether an appointment would be a suitable next step.
Four quick questions
What would youlike help with?
Answer four gentle questions and see what a first appointment with Ingrid could look like for you, and how to take the next step.
This is a guide to what to expect, not an assessment or a diagnosis. Everyone is different, and Ingrid will talk through whether acupuncture is suitable for you.
Make more room forthe life you wantto live.
Perhaps you'd like less discomfort, more energy, better rest or simply a greater understanding of your health.
Whatever has brought you here, we can begin with a conversation.
