Clinic Update: True Fortune Wellness is relocating. Existing patient appointments continue as planned, but we’re not accepting new patients at this time while we prepare for our move.
Acupuncture and Tuina Massage are treatment methods that can offer support to those who need help regaining balance in their life, but can also support people experiencing more serious illness. Whatever condition you are living with, it is well worth considering how traditional Chinese medicine might help.
As a member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) I adhere to the highest standards of practice available in the UK. The BAcC is the only regulatory body for Acupuncture in the UK approved by the Government’s Professional Standards Authority.
There is ever growing research into the role of acupuncture in supporting a wide variety of conditions. To read more about this please visit the BAcC website.
I am always happy to call you back for a complementary consultation over the phone. If you’re in Bristol and not sure whether acupuncture is right for you, I am here to answer any and all of your questions.
