Traditional Acupuncture in Colchester
You're unique - your treatment should be too
Traditional acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to help support a wide range of health concerns. For a long time, it was dismissed as “woo woo” because science could not explain how it worked. That is now changing.
Research is now showing that acupuncture can help reduce inflammation, improve blood flow, and regulate the nervous system. Acupuncture is now widely used to help improve conditions such as; chronic pain, headaches, menstrual and fertility issues, menopausal symptoms amongst others.

Unlike conventional medicine where treatment is often based on suppressing a symptom, Chinese Medicine tries to get to the root cause of the issue. 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.

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. My clinic times are as follows.
Tuesdays 09.00 -16.30
Fridays 09.00 - 20.00
Saturdays 08.00 - 11.00
If you are undergoing IVF treatment, I will do everything possible to be available to provide pre and post transfer protocols within the necessary timeframes.
