Acupuncture therapy involves the treatment of areas of the body using fine, sterile, single-use acupuncture needles. Administered sensitively, the process is comfortable. The practice is drug-free, safe and its effectiveness is backed by a collective evidence-base of more than 13,000 randomised-controlled trials.
I am trained in the Traditional Chinese Medicine, Five Element and Classical Acupuncture traditions of Chinese Medicine, as well as Dry Needling and Medical Acupuncture. Your treatment may involve any of these disciplines as appropriate for your needs. Following your comprehensive consultation, and depending on your own preferences, we'll agree your treatment plan.
I am passionate about supporting people with a wide range of health concerns, in particular for complex needs. I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council, accredited by the Professional Standards Authority of Health and Social Care.
There may be some assessment and palpation carried out when you come in for your first acupuncture session, as well as some paperwork. You'll be introduced to the clinic and the process of treatment, and we'll make sure you're comfortable before commencing any treatment.
There is never any obligation to undress beyond your comfort level. Typically, access will be needed to the arms and legs, up to the mid-thigh and upper arm, or to the abdomen or back. Some patients prefer to bring shorts and a sleeveless vest to attend treatments, but any loose clothing is fine.
Please bring with you a list of medications, dietary supplements, herbal remedies and other treatments you may be taking, as well as details of your surgical history and any other therapies you are currently undergoing.
