This system offers a holistic approach, not only to achieving the absence of symptoms, but one that focuses on improving all aspects of well being: physical, mental and emotional. Although patients may initially come to acupuncture for help with a specific problem, they will usually find it achieving far more than they initially expected.

I began my career in public health and have worked across the NHS in a number of roles ever since. I have always had a keen interest in eastern systems of thought and sought acupuncture for a health problem with no known western cure in my early twenties. The results were fantastic and I was inspired to combine my deepening interest in eastern medicine and my experience of working in health services to train as a five element acupuncturist.
Many people come to acupuncture for help with specific problems and symptoms. Others choose acupuncture to maintain health or because they don't feel as well as they could. This is because acupuncture acts both as a treatment and as a preventative therapy. The aim of your individual diagnosis and course of treatment is to build a complete picture of you - to understand your health history and treatment goals.
At the core of twelve rivers is the belief that patients need a 100% commitment and focus from their practitioner to get the most out of their treatments. Your comfort and treatment goals are always my priority. Sufficient time is always given to your diagnosis and treatment so that you will gain the maximum benefit from it.
It is advisable to have something to eat at least 2-3 hours prior to your acupuncture treatment - particularly for the first session. The first session will be around 2 hours in length and will include taking a full case history. I will need to ask about your symptoms, sleep pattern, diet, digestion and other lifestyle factors.
People have usually experienced needles in a western medical setting - having blood tests for example - so it is quite common to expect something similar in acupuncture treatment. In fact, acupuncture treatment is nothing like having blood taken! Acupuncture needles are incredibly fine - thinner than a human hair.
