Five Element Acupuncture in London
Kick-start the year with 50% off acupuncture
Restore your energy for a calm & focused 2025
If you want to stop a bad habit, reduce anxiety and/or address an ongoing health issue, acupuncture is the perfect choice of treatment.
Having acupuncture helps because it’s like hitting the reset button. Your mind and body feel calm, but energised. Experiencing who you are, before the bad habits began, reorients your neural pathways towards your authentic nature and potential. Among other things, acupuncture regulates hormones, including cortisol, and triggers the release of pain reducing substances such as oxytocin and endorphins [1]. Whilst acupuncture is most known for treating musculoskeletal conditions, pain and fertility, it truly is a complete healthcare system, when administered by a fully trained professional.

Imagine the Possibilities
We’re living longer, yet we’ve never been so sick. 40% of adults in the UK are estimated to have a longstanding illness or health condition [2]. Reporting of mental health issues are on the increase with 1 in 4 adults expected to experience this in any given year, and 1 in 6 experiencing anxiety or depression in any given week (3). Primary care waiting lists are typically 18 weeks for non-urgent outpatient and diagnostic appointments [4]. And sadly, we have an opioid crisis, with 60 million people thought to be addicted globally, with 100,000 overdoses causing deaths [5]. Acupuncture is a safe and natural healthcare system. Five Element Acupuncture training is geared specifically towards making diagnosis and treatment plans that take account of the mind body connection.
Safe, Professional, Effective
Five Element acupuncture is the original somatic healing. It integrates a profound and ancient understanding of human psychology, with how this affects the body. The reverse is also true: that physical problems start to affect a person’s mental and emotional health negatively.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has determined that there is clinical evidence for acupuncture for over 100 conditions [6]. The WHO also benchmarks the practice of acupuncture [7]. It recommends that practitioners should receive a minimum of degree-level training. Unfortunately, acupuncture is not regulated in the UK: anyone can call themselves an acupuncturist, set up a college or practitioner association. Professional practitioners are members of the British Acupuncture Council. This is the only self-regulatory body approved by the government’s Professional Standards Authority [8]. This means you can expected to receive the same professional standards as a practitioner from a statutory regulated body.
Acupuncture
Most commonly, I see patients for: emotional/mental well-being; digestive harmony; sleep repair; fertility & women’s health and musculoskeletal relief.
Cupping & herbs
Treatment may include other therapies that enhance outcomes. I am also a trained massage therapist and meditation instructor.
