About Alchemy of Acupuncture
Your Pathway to Good Health
Alchemy of Acupuncture offers a natural and holistic approach to medicine that promotes balance and wellness through healthy alternatives to conventional treatment.
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) are safe, effective and drug-free options for many conditions.
The treatment is always in alignment with whatever treatment patient is currently working with. Implementing Acupuncture is not about neglecting or rejecting Western Medicine. It is about collaboration and going above and beyond conventional treatments. For that purpose, alongside with Acupuncture, we offer:
- Cupping therapy
- Gua sha
- Moxibustion
- Healthy lifestyle and exercise advice.
Each acupuncture session is an hour-long. Sterilized disposable hair-fine needles are gently inserted into the skin to stimulate certain points along the major energy channels of the body.
Alchemy of Acupuncture strongly feels it is our responsibility as healthcare practitioners to encourage and to educate our patients to take care of their own health. Let the change begin with Alchemy of Acupuncture.
About Emilia
I am a BAcC Licensed Acupuncturist, with a BA and BSc Hons in Nursing, and I am also a qualified Kundalini Yoga Teacher. My path into the healing arts has always felt natural, as I’ve been drawn to healthcare from a young age. As a sensitive young woman with immense empathy for others, I chose to become a nurse. Over the course of 16 years, I have worked with critically ill and cancer patients within the NHS, initially as an Intensive Care Nurse and more recently as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner in the Acupuncture Clinic at The Royal Marsden Hospital.
My journey into Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) began through my own personal healing. After discovering the limitations of Western medicine in addressing both, my physical and emotional health, I was drawn to Chinese medicine by chance. A transformative acupuncture session not only improved my health but also fundamentally shifted my perspective on medicine, prompting me to study TCM.
I graduated from The City College of Acupuncture, and a few years later, I completed my Classical Acupuncture apprenticeship under the guidance of Philip Weeks, Darren Rose, and Dr. Hung Tran. This experience deepened my understanding of classical acupuncture philosophy, which emphasizes treating the root cause of imbalances rather than merely addressing symptoms. Classical acupuncture views health as a harmonious balance between the physical, spiritual, and emotional aspects of a person. This holistic approach is central to my practice, and I integrate it with the understanding that health is deeply connected to the cycles of life, art, nutrition, and self-cultivation. It is through this broader lens that I am able to meet each person exactly where they are, addressing their unique needs and promoting healing on every level.
I focus on treating the whole person and my practice is grounded in the belief that true healing involves restoring balance on every level. I am committed to integrating ancient wisdom with modern medical understanding, offering a comprehensive and effective approach to healing.
I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC), adhering to their code of safe practice, and I am also part of the Acupuncture Fertility Network.
My approach to healing is deeply personal, and I cherish the relationships I build with my patients. I see every interaction as an opportunity to help them restore balance and achieve optimal health, whether through acupuncture, yoga, or simply being a supportive presence. I am passionate about empowering people to take control of their health and well-being.
