Traditional Acupuncture in Fife at Cupar and St Andrews

Welcome! This site is designed to provide a bit more information about acupuncture and in particular the style of acupuncture I provide in the Tayside area of Scotland. Most of all I hope to communicate two things: one that Five Element acupuncture is an amazing system of medicine, and two that I love what I do and am dedicated to using acupuncture to engender a state of health and wellbeing in my patients.

I am a licenced acupuncturist (Lic.Ac.) trained in a traditional acupuncture style known as Five Element Acupuncture from the School of Five Element Acupuncture. I also have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology with an emphasis on Genetics obtained from the University of California, Berkeley in 1992. I am a member of the main regulating body for Acupuncturists in the UK - the British Acupuncture Council (MBAcC).

Further Training:
Currently I am participating in the Postgraduate CF-EA (Classical Five-Element Acupuncture) Excellence program at the London Institute of Five Element Acupuncture. LIFEA is the only institution in Europe to offer education encompassing what is now known as Classical Five Element Acupuncture as passed down via JR and JB Worsley.


Did you know that acupuncture can help improve how you feel within yourself as well as with physical complaints?

All traditional style acupuncture is specifically tailored to each person who seeks treatment, and as such every person is treated individually no matter what symptoms are presented (i.e. two people with stomach ulcers may have vastly different treatment, but both may gain relief through acupuncture). In the recent past, and as a small example, I have found success treating people for:

infertility, fertility difficulties, dysmenorrhoea and help with assisted pregnancy (IVF, etc)

post-natal exhaustion

depression

stress

pain and/or trauma after surgery

auto-immune disorders

specific musculo-skeletal pains due to injury and repetitive strain

back pain

hormonal imbalances and difficulty with menopause

panic-attacks and acute anxiety

fatigue

varied symptoms developed post-trauma

spondylosis

loss of enthusiasm for life

migraines

pre-menstrual tension

allergies

Moreover, the World Health Organisation recognises the success of acupuncture treatment stating that it can help with numerous other complaints such as, but not limited to:

facial pain

headache

nausea (including morning sickness)

rheumatoid arthritis

sciatica

stroke

Please see the WHO website for more information.
