My first career was designing and writing about gardens, from a family smallholding in mid-Devon. Sharing a couple of acres with diverse wildlife, every sort of plant I could grow and a dozen species of domesticated animals taught me about the interconnectedness of nature and the power of the light, holistic touch to heal and promote health and wellbeing.
When my children became teenagers, we moved into Exeter. Unfortunately, health problems took me to my GP whose solution seemed draconian, promising horrible side-effects. By lucky chance I opted to try acupuncture as an alternative and was wonderstruck by how treatment profoundly calmed my spirit along with healing my body.

Services
Before you come to the clinic, I'll send you an email with a form, asking for contact details and enquiring about your main complaint(s), your medical history and how well your systems are performing, such as digestion, sleep, energy levels and your state of mind. Once I have looked at your answers, we have a chat on the phone or a video call that takes around 30-40 minutes, giving both of us a chance to ask any more questions.
Acupuncture based on Chinese medicine has been practised and refined for over 2,000 years. It is widely used all around the world, particularly in the Far East, where it is an integral part of mainstream healthcare, both as a stand-alone treatment and in combination with other forms of medicine.
Whilst acupuncture is best known for pain relief from lower back problems, migraine and osteoarthritis of the knee, the World Health Organisation (WHO) lists a wide variety of diseases and disorders for which it has been tested in controlled clinical trials.Acupuncture is one of the safest medical treatments, when performed by a qualified practitioner.

Before embarking on any course of therapy, it is important that you feel the therapy is right for you, and that you trust and get on with your practitioner. This is why you are invited to a FREE 20 minute consultation, to provide an opportunity to discover if we both feel that acupuncture may help you, and that I am the right practitioner to be your acupuncturist.

I hadn't tried acupuncture before but as the hospital were unable to identify the reason for my stiff and painful hands I felt I had nothing to lose.
I wish I had come here much sooner. Patti was warm and understanding and explained the process before carrying out the treatment.
The results were amazing! A few days afterwards I had 80-90% of the movement in my hands that I had before the condition appeared and this has continued, 3 months later.

I first went to see patti as i was suffering from chronic hives and panic attacks. Obviously talking about this was difficult for me but Patti is so professional, approachable and easy to talk to. She soon put me at ease :)
I see Patti regularly and i wouldn't hesitate to say the effects of acupuncture has helped me immensely. I no longer have panic attacks , my anxiety levels are low and am not breaking out in hives.

I had chronic body pains due to stress and physical trauma. I couldn't sleep for days as I always woke up to severe backache every night. I was scared that I could end up paralyzed due to the sciatica pain . Patti's amazing professional help has changed my life. I am still undergoing acupuncture treatment, but now I am able to do my work and perform my daily activities with less pain. Thank you very much Patti for your amazing knowledge on Chinese medicine as I have seen amazing healing on the pain I couldn't bear. I highly recommend anyone to visit Exeter Quayside Acupuncture for the best intervention

I came to see Patti as I had severe eczema on my hands and up my arms which was painful and itchy. After having acupuncture with Patti it was amazing my skin became clear of eczema and I began living my life again.
I had tried creams and lotions in the past which had no effect. I highly recommend Patti she is very kind and caring and has helped me so much.

Patty is truly fantastic, warming and welcoming from the first contact. I was instantly put at ease and felt very comfortable talking and opening up. I visited patty for help with my hormones being off balance ( pmdd ) Patty made me feel like a new women in only a few sessions, she is very knowledgeable in her practice and I can not recommend her enough. 5 star from me. Thank you so much and I will be back ❣️
