We treat the person, not just the symptom.
Acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine and complementary therapies built around your health history — not a generic protocol for your diagnosis.
Holborn Clinic
One symptom is rarely the whole picture
Stress doesn’t stay in one place. It can show up as poor sleep, digestive trouble, tight shoulders, or pain that seems to move around the body. Treating each of these separately often means addressing the same root cause in five different ways — with limited results.
Why has this problem developed in this particular person?
How we get to the root of it
Listen to your story
We start with an unhurried consultation — what’s happening now, what’s happened before, and what you’ve already tried.
Build your health timeline
We map out how your health has changed over time, looking for the events, patterns and turning points that shaped it.
Connect the pieces
We look across your symptoms for the threads that link them, rather than treating each one as an isolated complaint.
Assess possible imbalances
Using TCM diagnosis alongside complementary assessment tools, we form a picture of what may be contributing to how you feel.
There isn’t one treatment for everyone
Depending on your timeline and what we find, your plan may draw on any combination of the following.
Two people can share the same diagnosis and need completely different care.
One person. One plan. We treat the person, not simply the label.

Pain & musculoskeletal problemsBack, joint and chronic pain

The tools we draw on

— Sample testimonial, digestive & fatigue
“The first consultation felt more like a proper history-taking than anything I’d had before. I finally felt heard.”
— Sample testimonial, chronic pain
“My plan changed twice as we learned more about what was helping. It never felt like a fixed protocol.”

What happens when you book
We listen first.
If you’ve been treating symptoms in isolation without lasting results, an initial consultation is the place to start looking at the wider picture.
