Five Element Acupuncture (constitutional treatment looking at the balance of the elements: wood, fire, earth, metal (air) and water, which are each associated with different parts of your system)
TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine - works with these elements and has a language for dealing with particular symptoms and clusters of symptoms known as Syndromes), e.g. Liver Qui Stagnation (linked to issues such as premenstrual tension and feelings of frustration)
Simple meditation techniques and relaxation exercises
Bodywork (with 15 years of experience, my bodywork skills help release pockets of held tension and enhance feelings of deep relaxation)
To Groups (2 or 3 people - or more)

I believe in acupuncture for particular conditions but also and very importantly as a preventative medicine. It is my belief that the preventative aspect of acupuncture means it really should be available to all.
I operate a sliding scale of fees and set aside 25% of my practice for low cost treatment (£25 per hour). This is available for people on lower incomes with long-term health problems who would not otherwise be able access complementary therapies or to afford a course of treatments. There is daytime availability only and there are restrictions on the number of treatment sessions available.
