Five Element Acupuncture treats the whole of our being-​body, mind and spirit. It is a system of medicine which is used in the restoration and maintenance of health as well as the prevention of illness.

In Chinese medicine any illness or symptom, whether it be knee pain, headache, indigestion, immune problems or severe depression, is seen as an imbalance in the energy. The inherent strength of Five Element Acupuncture is its ability to look at the whole, to heal physical symptoms without ignoring the underlying cause.

History

Established in 1983.

My interest in acupuncture started when one of my yoga pupils got dramatic results from having acupuncture treatments for severe migraine headaches. After reading about the many different traditions of acupuncture, I decided to study at the College of Traditional Acupuncture with the world-​renowned teacher Professor J. R. Worsley. What drew me to this tradition was the emphasis placed upon adapting the treatment to meet the individual needs of each patient.
