Acupuncture at SHY offers a calm, considered and whole-body approach to health and restoration.
Based on Lewes High Street and welcoming clients from Brighton, Hove and across East Sussex, treatments support those experiencing anxiety, sleep disruption, hormonal imbalance, digestive concerns, chronic pain, fatigue and periods of prolonged stress.
Rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and informed by a modern understanding of the nervous system, acupuncture at SHY is designed to address the underlying patterns contributing to physical and emotional imbalance.
Rather than a quick intervention, it is a practice of listening, observing, and responding to the body as a whole — supporting regulation, resilience, and a greater sense of overall well-being.
Studio SHY is located at 35 High Street, Lewes, East Sussex (BN7 2LU), and is easily accessible for clients travelling from Brighton, Hove, Eastbourne, Seaford, Newhaven, Uckfield, Ringmer and across East Sussex.
Acupuncture at SHY.
A considered approach
At SHY, acupuncture works with patterns rather than isolated symptoms. Energy levels, sleep, digestion, emotional state and physical tension are all part of the wider picture.
Treatments are designed to encourage regulation and allow the body to recalibrate at its own pace. This is care that unfolds gradually — many clients begin during periods of stress or transition and continue as part of a long-term commitment to their wellbeing.
Alongside constitutional acupuncture, facial rejuvenation acupuncture is also available. This combines local needling to support circulation and collagen production with systemic points that help regulate the nervous system and hormonal balance.
The result is subtle, natural skin vitality supported by deeper internal balance.

Five Elements Acupuncturist
WEDNESDAY
Aye Acupuncture at SHY is led by Aye, a Five Elements acupuncturist known for her calm presence and attentive approach.
Aye works gently but purposefully, creating space within each session for both treatment and reflection. Her work is often described as grounding and unhurried, allowing clients to feel held rather than processed.
Her areas of focus include stress-related conditions, hormonal balance, sleep disruption, fatigue and emotional well-being.
Treatments take place in our private Lewes studio, a quiet, design-led space created to feel supportive, contained and unhurried.
Alongside acupuncture, SHY offers complementary treatments including massage, lymphatic drainage and holistic bodywork, supporting a more integrated approach to wellbeing.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Five Elements acupuncture is a style of traditional Chinese medicine that views physical and emotional health through the lens of five natural elements — Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. Each person is understood to have a constitutional element that shapes how they experience health and imbalance. Treatment works by addressing your whole pattern rather than individual symptoms, helping your body return to a more balanced state naturally.

This varies from person to person. Many clients begin to notice shifts after 3 to 6 sessions, though some conditions may benefit from a longer course of treatment.
