What my clients say:
"Rachel is one of the most insightful and caring acupuncturists I have ever had the good fortune to meet..."
"...our dream to conceive was fulfilled and I am expecting soon!"
"I call her medicine woman, as what she has done for me is like magic. She is a genuine gem!"
"After the 3rd month, all 3 of us (Rachel, my husband and I!) were over the moon to discover I was pregnant".
"This is what you will get from Rachel - time, understanding and a real "cure" as opposed to masking symptoms - I cannot recommend her enough".
"Her sessions were often the highlight of my week."
"...as a result your body and mind feel balanced and ready to enjoy life to the full."
"...last summer we found out we were pregnant (completely naturally). I am convinced that the acupuncture I received from Rachel was the major contributing factor..."
"...her knowledge, sensitive approach and emotional support were invaluable."
"I felt a huge sense of calm and relaxation for the first time in years."
"...she has lifted a very dark cloud in our lives which had been around for a very long time."
"...shortly after a couple of treatments we conceived naturally."
About me
I graduated from the College of Traditional Acupuncture in Warwickshire, where I studied Five Element Acupuncture, in 1997 and then went on to train for a further year at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading, where I studied Traditional Chinese Medicine.
In the years since I graduated I have worked in Warwickshire, Buckinghamshire and, since settling in Bournemouth in 1999, I have built up an established practice, mainly through word of mouth.
I regularly attend post-graduate training courses, and in recent years these have been focused on treating fertility, reproductive health and pregnancy related issues, areas that I have special interest in.
In December 2008 I became a founding member of the Zita West National Network for Reproductive Health and undertook specialist training with Zita and her team in London.
I have established an excellent working relationship with renowned fertility Consultant Mr Michael Dooley, of the Poundbury Clinic in Dorchester. This enables me to access information and support which has proved invaluable to a number of my patients, and keeps me up to date with the ever evolving subject of fertility.
I am a dedicated professional, with a passion for my work, and I strive to achieve optimum health and a positive outcome for each and every person I treat.
