Integrative Medicine Series: Workshops and Webinars
Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can be incredible tools for healthcare and wellbeing. But how does it work? What does the scientific evidence say? How can it be used alongside conventional medicine and other therapies? What does best practice look like? And how can we look after the health not just for ourselves, but for those of our families too?
Please join me and invited guest speakers as we share with you our experiences of working with specific health concerns and show you how a more integrative way of addressing our health works in practice!
Upcoming workshops and webinars
Autumn 2025: Living Well with ADHD: How CBT and Acupuncture can make a difference - In-person workshop @ Bank Medispa, Hale Village
with hosts Lily Lai, PhD (Acupuncturist and Chinese medicine practitioner) & Amber Ledger, BABCP accredited therapist, GMBPsS
Living with ADHD can bring unique challenges — from managing focus and energy to navigating stress and emotional regulation. In this talk, Lily and Amber will combine their expertise supporting those living with ADHD and explore how integrating wellbeing approaches can make a real difference.
Join us for an insightful afternoon where we bring together two powerful perspectives:
Acupuncture — a traditional whole-systems practice rooted in balancing the body and calming the nervous system.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) — a practical approach to managing thoughts and behaviours.
In this session, you’ll:
Gain a deeper understanding of ADHD and its impact on daily life.
Discover how acupuncture supports nervous system regulation and reduces overwhelm.
Learn how CBT techniques can help manage thought patterns and build resilience.
Explore how self-care approaches can create a toolkit for balance, calm, and empowerment.
This event is open to anyone curious about ADHD, wellbeing and holistic approaches — whether you’re personally navigating ADHD, supporting a loved one, or simply interested in learning more. Join us in the beautiful events space at Bank MediSpa in Hale to find out more about using an integrated approach to ADHD and secure your spot today!
