ACUPUNCTURE & TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE

Find balance with

Restore your energy and wellbeing.

I’m an acupuncturist, traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and bodyworker, based in the Lake District.

I help people find balance in their body and mind using a blend of gentle, effective treatments. My approach combines evidence-based research with the ancient wisdom of Chinese Medicine to address the root cause of your symptoms—not just the surface level.

I have a particular interest in women’s health, fertility, and chronic conditions, and I’m passionate about guiding people to reconnect with the natural rhythms of their bodies and the cycles of nature.

I hold a First Class Honours degree from the Northern College of Acupuncture in York and am a fully insured member of the British Acupuncture Council.

Whether you’re looking for relief from chronic pain, support with hormonal health, tools to manage stress, or simply want to maintain your wellbeing, I’d love to support you.

Hi, I’m Sam…

How acupuncture works

Acupuncture is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a system of medicine developed over 2,000 years ago. Unlike Western medicine, which often focuses on isolated symptoms, Chinese Medicine views the body as an interconnected whole. Every symptom is considered in the context of you—your lifestyle, environment, and overall wellbeing. This means that two people with the same diagnosis might receive different treatments, based on their individualised expression of the condition.

There is an energetic system of the body, just like there is a nervous system and a musculoskeletal system. When this energetic system is flowing freely, the systems of the body will function in harmony, and we will feel well and energised.

When this flow is disrupted, it can show up as physical or emotional symptoms. Acupuncture uses very fine needles at specific points along energy pathways (meridians) to rebalance the energy (Qi), restore flow, and support the body’s natural ability to heal itself.

Acupuncture works by regulating the body’s own healing systems; therefore, it can support a wide range of physical and emotional symptoms. People visit the clinic for all kinds of reasons, but these are some of the most common.
