Hi, I’m Rachel - the owner of Flo Acupuncture.
I trained at The Acupuncture Academy in Leamington Spa and hold a Professional Licentiate in Acupuncture, which is a three-year degree level qualification accredited by the British Acupuncture Accreditation Board. My training was comprehensive and covered all aspects of Chinese medical and acupuncture theory, anatomy, biomedicine, and clinical skills. The training had a focus on Five Element Acupuncture which means that I treat the person as a whole at mind, body, spirit level in preference to focusing on symptoms alone.
My original degree was in Medical Biochemistry and I worked as a chartered accountant for over 20 years before experiencing stress and burnout. Western medicine suppressed my symptoms but led to side effects and failed to resolve the underlying issues. It was after a course of acupuncture that I finally felt a sense of peace and calm again and was able to feel true connection, both with myself and others. I was so passionate about my own outcome that I wanted to train as an acupuncturist myself so that I could share its benefits with others.
Alongside Traditional acupuncture, I am also qualified in Moxibustion, Cupping, Tui Na massage, auricular acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and Gua-sha and use these additional tools in treatment when appropriate.
As a member of the British Acupuncture Council I adhere to the Council’s Codes of Safe Practice and Professional conduct. British Acupuncture Council members are also registered with the Professional Standards Authority which is a government body set up to regulate health and social care providers and is accountable to Parliament.
