Welcome

Welcome to Japanese Acupuncture London

I am delighted to be celebrating my 35th year in clinical practice and what a rich three and a half decades it has been!

I work in North London, practising in East Finchley and in Newington Green.

I treat a wide range of physical conditions (including pain related ailments) and emotional & mental health conditions. I also have a particular interest & extensive experience of treating fertility & pregnancy related issues & helping women & their partners prepare for childbirth.

I treat babies, children (with a special non-invasive style of Japanese acupuncture)  & teenagers through to the elderly.

Since the pandemic, many people have been seeking support with their Long Covid symptoms. Consultation & treatment includes looking at lifestyle & all the ways you can support yourself through this challenging experience.

I worked for many years in an NHS GP practice (read about my study & published paper on the clinical outcomes of using acupuncture with chronic conditions). I taught for many years at the University of Westminster & currently teach Japanese acupuncture in the UK and internationally.

Specialising in Japanese Acupuncture, a gentle and effective form of treatment, using very fine needles, superficial, painless insertion and non-inserted techniques. This hands-on approach to diagnosis and treatment offers a dynamic system of feedback to both patient and practitioner. More recently, I have completed advanced further training in Neo-classical acupuncture – which can treat and make instant changes using a single needle.

As an Advanced EFT practitioner (Emotional Freedom Technique – aka ‘tapping’), I can also offer remote sessions. ‘Tapping’ is a powerful & effective way of managing stress, anxiety & other emotional related issues that impact on our physical and mental health. It literally involves tapping on acupuncture points whilst focussing on the specific thoughts, feelings & physical issues that need attention. I also teach you to apply this wonderfully simple and effective technique at home. EFT can help you navigate a way through and strengthen your inner resources and make fundamental changes to your life. Click here for more information EFT Tapping

A 92 year old patient of mine sent this email just after her treatment:

“This is just to tell you that your treatment has boosted my energy level quite remarkably. I am really amazed.  Thank you!!”

 

The NHS recommend choosing an acupuncturist who is a member of a national acupuncture organisation on an accredited register.

The British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) is the leading professional organisation for acupuncture in the UK.

Members of the British acupuncture council have a professional level accredited qualification at degree level belong to an accredited register, regulated and approved by the Professional Standards Authority for Health & Social Care (PSA).

Acupuncture is not regulated by law. Therefore, it is advised that the public seek an acupuncturist on an accredited register.

Members of the British Acupuncture Council are currently the only practitioners listed on an accredited register.

The PSA protects the public by overseeing the regulation and registration of healthcare professionals – including statutorily regulated professions, such as the Nursing and Midwifery Council, and Accredited Registers like the BAcC. This offers a quality mark for high training standards, safe practice and professional conduct.

 

I have had four sessions of Japaneses acupuncture over the last few weeks and there has been a marked improvement in my level of mobility and pain relief. After the first session although there was still quite restricted mobility and pain when walking there was an underlying stability in the knee which was not there before; this improvement has continued..A combination of acupuncture a daily routine of knee exercises and Ibuprofen has markedly reduced the time it has taken my knee to recover compared to the previous quite severe flare up.

I saw Marian after two attempts at implanting IVF embryos had failed. I found her very calm and encouraging, and the treatment seemed to have swift effect. Within a month my menstrual cycle was more regular. After two months I implanted an IVF embryo, which was successful, and I now have a healthy baby daughter.

Apart from being a lovely personality, Marian's acupuncture treatment proved to be invaluable for me during my pregnancy. All of my pregnancy related conditions, like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, oedema and a posterior baby have found relief and got significantly better after some treatments. I feel that my body is well prepared for labour now. Marian also introduced me and my partner to acupressure for labour, resulting in my partner becoming very confident and involved with a very positive approach towards the birth of our baby.

Thank you very much for all your help, Marian.
