I was first attracted to this ancient system of healing in my twenties when I experienced my first course of treatment. I was quite simply amazed by what a few tiny needles could do for my health and well-being. Today I have the pleasure of helping my patients feel better - not just physically - but mentally and emotionally too. Every day that I practice I am in awe of this medicine’s simplicity and elegance and at the positive impact it has on my patients’ lives. Learning is something of a compulsion for me and I love complementing my practice with other methods of support. This is always done within the context of your diagnosis and your individual preferences and needs. See the Services section for more information. I also continue my professional development at post graduate level. See the Expertise section for more information. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606da8d552408833c18b178f/1619171127626-TSB31U0227QX438C3XPS/unsplash-image-biVuafyC8oI.jpg Acupuncture - What can acupuncture help? I see a whole range of physical, mental and emotional problems in the clinic. The beauty of acupuncture is that multiple problems can be treated during your course of treatment. Acupuncture works to restore balance so that symptoms are alleviated and, in many cases, disappear altogether. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606da8d552408833c18b178f/1617801705638-M8DH36JAINGBINZ83P4L/earthy.jfif Acupuncture - Conditions Whilst I have a special interest in digestive complaints I see a whole range of symptoms in my clinic. These cross the breadth of conventional medical problems as well as issues that have no known pathology in western medicine. You can find more information on acupuncture for particular conditions on the Association of Acupuncture Clinicians website or you can book in with me for a free chat to find out whether it can help you. https://www.cotswoldacupuncture.co.uk/contact daily 0.75 2026-01-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606da8d552408833c18b178f/1624884148503-67J0ZIDRM8HBE2G70FH8/unsplash-image-DJCcXAjj3vs.jpg Contact - Location Cotswold acupuncture is based at Three Gables dental & holistic practice in the beautiful Painswick valley, just off the A46.

I have been practicing classical five element acupuncture for 15 years since graduating with a first class honors degree/Lic Ac from Oxford Brookes University. Since then I have continued to train with the eminent Niki Bilton, within a dedicated post graduate learning group. Niki is academic dean at the Ongiara College of Acupuncture and Moxibustion in Ontario. She teaches across the globe. My post graduate training has deepened my knowledge considerably and has enabled me to treat some very complex cases, with fantastic results. Scroll down for more details of some of the additional training I have completed since starting my practice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606da8d552408833c18b178f/1624880756868-1WZ3HP4E46M60YQYKFQL/unsplash-image-zoTdPQzG3JE.jpg Expertise - Additional training Acupuncture in Pregnancy with leader in the field Debra Betts. I remain up to date with the evidence base in the field of obstetric acupuncture, including emerging evidence around fertility and IVF protocols. Whilst I am trained in IVF protocols I generally use bespoke treatments for each individual client as during my years in practice I have found these to be more effective. I am, however, happy to discuss your individual needs in this area. The art of moxibustion with Merlin Young. First Aid (updated every 3 years). I have a special interest in acupuncture for digestive issues and am widely read in this subject. Training courses are too many to list. More recent training has been with Josephine Spilka in the use of essential oils and I have completed Nectar of Plants parts I to III. I have completed hundreds of hours of post graduate training so the information above is not exhaustive. If you have a specific question about my training please do not hesitate to contact me. https://www.cotswoldacupuncture.co.uk/services daily 0.75 2026-01-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606da8d552408833c18b178f/1624958527161-H1L87D37SGQFD9NBUJW8/acupuncture-medecine-maigrir-1024x652.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606da8d552408833c18b178f/1624958474499-WCYX456LG19D512RKNIB/unsplash-image-mod2s3-qFOc.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606da8d552408833c18b178f/1619179556241-2P5L53WBYPV2FE8CRRUV/unsplash-image-Vrztewqmi4Q.jpg Services https://www.cotswoldacupuncture.co.uk/covid-secure daily 0.75 2023-07-05 https://www.cotswoldacupuncture.co.uk/appointments daily 0.75 2026-01-26 https://www.cotswoldacupuncture.co.uk/what-to-expect daily 0.75 2023-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606da8d552408833c18b178f/1624959689962-2CZRZTVMYUFCEX5PL62V/unsplash-image-7AcMUSYRZpU.jpg What to expect https://www.cotswoldacupuncture.co.uk/testimonials daily 0.75 2026-01-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606da8d552408833c18b178f/1769441145470-2FYTOYZ1OXLISRKD1U4P/unsplash-image-8Jbo0T-DxUI.jpg
