Traditional Chinese Acupuncture (TCM)

Our acupuncturist and centre manager Ruth Irving has been a professional member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) since 2007.  Not all acupuncturists are eligible to be a BAcC member - only those who have extensive training to degree level, such as Ruth.

​She may use a combination of techniques to achieve the best treatment outcome for you.  Her specialisms include traditional acupuncture (including cupping, gua sha, moxa, massage), yoga and mindfulness.  Acupressure is a needle-free option, including ear acupressure using ear-seeds.

Ruth is a general practitioner of acupuncture treating a spectrum of issues from back pain to vertigo.  Visit the BAcC Evidence section for current research into the effectiveness of acupuncture for some common conditions.
 

Ruth has a special interest in the holistic management of menopause, fertility & IVF and anxiety and stress. 

Contact Ruth to discuss which of her treatments, either individually or in combination, may help support you back to your optimum health.​​
