Welcome
"Philippa has excellent listening skills. She has been a major support, helping me manage a long term chronic condition, improve my health and consequently reduce my very potent medication."
"I have really valued... my sessions with Philippa - the chance to talk through certain things in more detail and in a more personalised way than with the doctors, as well as the time to slow down and reflect on myself and my body. I am sure the acupuncture treatments themselves have helped me conceive on a first cycle of IVF..."
I have been practising in South London since 1997 using acupuncture and Tui Na massage to improve people's health and wellbeing for a wide range of issues. Over the years my focus has been drawn to styles of acupuncture that embrace palpation and massage, and to supporting fertility for men and women, women's health including pregnancy and for relieving stress.
I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council, The Acupuncture Fertility Network and the Acupuncture Childbirth Team (see below) and have undertaken training in gynaecology and fertility with specialist acupuncturists and Western Medical consultants.
My approach lends itself to holistic treatment, not just of women's health, fertility and pregnancy, but also muscle and joint pain, chronic pain conditions like migraines and tension headaches, anxiety and depression and a wide spectrum of other ailments. Issues will often resolve completely but for intractable conditions that are more difficult to treat acupuncture can invariably help people to feel more relaxed, cope better and live life more fully. It is great for stress which underlies and exacerbates a great many health issues.
The effectiveness of acupuncture is supported by a growing body of evidence-based research and is endorsed by the World Health Organisation.
Tuina can enhance the therapeutic effect of acupuncture and is wonderfully relaxing.
Member of 3 professional organisations that between them cover Acupuncture, Male and Female Fertility, Women's Health, Pregnancy and Childbirth.
