Five Element Traditional Acupuncture in Colchester
You are unique
When you book in to see me for your first consultation we will spend a lot of time talking about you. This is to help me understand where the root cause of your symptoms might be.
Unlike conventional medicine where treatment is generally based on suppressing a symptom, Chinese Medicine tries to get to the root cause of the symptom. Because each person is unique, there is no one size fits all approach. You are treated as an individual regardless of the symptoms that you present with.
In addition to acupuncture, I also offer cupping and gua sha which can be used alongside acupuncture or as standalone treatments.
If you want to be listened to and treated as the unique person that you are then Five Element traditional acupuncture might be for you.

About
I completed my three year professional licentiate in acupuncture at The Acupuncture Academy in Leamington Spa, achieving a distinction. I offer gentle Five Element acupuncture treatment tailored to each individual. I am registered with the British Acupuncture Council which is the UK’s leading professional body for traditional acupuncturists.
I re-trained as an acupuncturist after having acupuncture treatment to support me through my fertility journey. I believe traditional acupuncture should be integrated with conventional medicine to improve patient outcomes and help address underlying causes where possible.
Before retraining in acupuncture, I worked as a clinical commissioning pharmacist and have extensive knowledge of conventional medicine and the NHS.
I run a clinic at the Chill Out Centre in Colchester on Tuesdays and Fridays. Saturday mornings by request.
