Philosophy

Hug is centred on a background in Traditional East Asian Medicine, combined with a modern Western alternative approach to health. 

Our philosophy is one of kindness, consideration and our relationship to the natural world. 

Anna, Hug's founder, is a practicing Five Element and Japanese acupuncturist with a passion for natural health. This ancient form of medicine is not simply about needles, but a holistic and preventative approach combining nutrition, exercise, movement, breathing and meditation. 

Our aim at hug is to offer simple tried and tested health care solutions, frequently recommended in treatment, to help combat ailments and keep you healthy and comfortable, naturally. These include Japanese Haramaki’s, Chinese Gua Sha massage and magnet therapies for home treatments of common ailments, and essential oils blended using natural ingredients for skin and home health.
