Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient healing therapy originating in China approximately 2500 years ago. There is now much evidence-based clinical research showing how the body responds to acupuncture and its benefits for a wide range of common health conditions.
Five Element Acupuncture is based on the concept of five fundamental elements: Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood. Each Element corresponds to specific organs, emotions and aspects of our health. Treatment focuses on balancing these elements within, to promote harmony and restore health and well-being.
Five Element Acupuncture can be an extremely effective treatment for a wide range of health conditions, both chronic and acute, as well as helping to maintain and promote our physical and emotional well-being – treating mind body and spirit as one to restore health and emotional well-being.
As a member of the British Acupuncture Council, I am committed to ensuring the highest standards of professional and ethical care for my patients.
I have a particular interest in mental health, beauty and enjoy treating children and teenagers.

Mental health – stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD·, low mood and burnout.

ABOUT ME
I studied for three years and graduated with an Honours Degree Level Professional Licentiate in Acupuncture from The Acupuncture Academy, which is fully accredited by the British Acupuncture Accreditation Board (BAAB).
I am also fully trained and qualified in cosmetic facial acupuncture, including micro needling, heskier and light therapy.
This training is considered the highest educational standard for acupuncture in the UK. I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) the UK’s largest professional acupuncture body, which is accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA)
During my training I had the privilege to be supervised and mentored by the highly regarded Five Element Acupuncturist Guy Caplan.
Prior to acupuncture I have a background in Art and media . Having completed a degree in Art , I worked for many years as a picture editor in fashion and lifestyle magazines, before becoming interested in Art Therapy, which lead me to working with autistic children where I have a particular interest in promoting joyful connection and emotional wellbeing.
I decided to study acupuncture after personal experience of transformative treatments helped me through my journey with fertility, pregnancy and emotional wellbeing..
Outside of the clinic I love spending time in nature, being creative, hanging out with my family and whenever I get the chance beach walks with the dog!

‘Sam agreed to treat my 15 year old daughter. We had ten sessions in total. Sam was so kind, incredibly reassuring and took so much time and care. The acupuncture itself was a big success, relieving a lot of my daughter’s long term ailments. We would definitely recommend.’

AK
‘I have had such great treatments with Sam, very attentive and sympathetic to my needs. She’s very knowledgable, professional, warm, gentle and caring. She always makes me feel at ease and I come away feeling relaxed and energised at the same time. I was having treatment for joint pain and anxiety both of which were much better as a result of seeing Sam. I highly recommend her.’
