Acupuncture

Fran Phillips Lic.Ac, MBacC, MA (Hons)

After several years working for large corporations in London, Fran turned to acupuncture for support with her own health and fertility issues. Fast forward a few months and Fran’s health was in a much better place and she attributes the successful pregnancy and delivery of her daughter to the effects of acupuncture.

Disillusioned with the corporate world, Fran decided to retrain as an acupuncturist and the rest, they say, is history!

Fran holds a first class Licentiate in Acupuncture from the International College of Oriental Medicine (ICOM) and is a fully-certified member of the British Acupuncture Council.

About Acupuncture

Acupuncture involves the insertion of extremely fine needles into specific points in the body to regulate the flow of Qi along pathways in the body. In traditional theory, illness can be attributed to deficiency, excess or blockage of Qi in these pathways and the treatment aims to restore normal balance of Qi and stimulate your body’s natural healing response.

In the UK, acupuncture is currently recognized by the National Institute for Healthcare Excellence (NICE) for Chronic Primary Pain and the management of headaches and migraines.

Other common conditions treated include:

  • Aches, pain, injuries  and musculoskeletal problems including back pain

  • Allergies such as hay fever

  • Anxiety and depression

  • Arthritis

  • Digestive issues, e.g. IBS

  • Emotional issues

  • Headaches and migraine

  • Stress

  • Sleep issues

  • Women’s health, including menopausal symptoms, menstrual disorders, and fertility problems
