Acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and Craniosacral therapy are incredibly powerful, safe, healing modalities that offer a different perspective on health and illness – one that complements conventional medicine. They have helped millions of people the world over and I feel so fortunate to to practice them.
I offer:
- A wealth of experience – I have over 30 years of clinical experience and have trained in the UK, Europe and Asia, in many different styles of practice and techniques. I am trained in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, Classical Acupuncture (following the teachings of Jeffrey Yuen), Five Elements, TCM and a range of classical and modern Japanese approaches to acupuncture, Classical Chinese herbal medicine including Jing Fang and Kampo
- A caring approach – Mindfulness and resourcing techniques play an important role in my work to help my clients let go of stress and anxiety.
- A holistic and truly complementary perspective – I look at the whole picture, listening carefully to my client’s illness story and considering all their symptoms to build a picture of imbalances where support is needed. I work with the body not against it. Our bodies have enormous wisdom and healing capacity – far greater than any physician’s. To find out a little more about my approach and how I work with clients, this blog might be helpful.
- Care from a registered practitioner – I am registered with the AAC (Association of Acupuncture Clinicians), which is part of the British Acupuncture Federation and the CSTA (Craniosacral Therapy Association). I am also registered with the ATCM (Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine) and a member of the Herbal Alliance, an umbrella organisation that brings herbal medicine practitioners together.
- Care from a health practitioner with a deep understanding of clinical research – I have a PhD in Health Sciences.

“Sylvia is a lovely, thoughtful and intuitive person who makes a very careful diagnosis and prescribes a holistic treatment. The herbs she prescribed for me arrived in the post the day after my appointment and are very gentle and actually taste good! I can feel them gradually working for me already. With Chinese herbal medicine, the prescription is individual and is adjusted as you improve, dealing with every aspect of a condition until full health is restored, with no nasty or frightening side effects. I thoroughly recommend Sylvia and her online appointment service. Talking to her on Skype was almost like being in her clinic” (Catherine T. Kirkudbright, Scotland)
