Serena is an acupuncturist and Tui Na masseuse who has a firm belief and a strong track record in helping to right a variety of ailments and energy complaints. After graduating from the London Collage of Traditional Acupuncture (LCTA) she gained postgraduate training in pregnancy, fertility, IVF support and post-natal care and thoroughly enjoys treating and helping with these conditions. She is a member of the Acupuncture for Childbirth team (ACT). Serena also has quality experience in treating stress disorders, such as anxiety, as well as sleep, digestive and energy disorders. Although her background is in Traditional Chinese Medicine she is interested in working alongside western medicine and is a member of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
Acupuncture is more than just needles and Serena uses a combination of auxiliary techniques to support her treatments. These include cupping, gua sha, moxa, electro-acupuncture, plum blossom needle technique and a massage called Tui Na. Tui Na has been practiced in the East for many hundreds of years. Acupuncture actually originated from Tui Na so the theory of treatment and pressure points used complement an acupuncture treatment or replace it if there is a fear of needles. Before any supporting technique is used there is a thorough explanation so please do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions.
Serena is committed to bringing acupuncture into the mainstream medical system by regularly attending seminars in both western and Chinese medicine. She believes by working closely together, referring when necessary for appropriate scans, blood test etc., we can create effective results and maximum support for every individual. Serena also works closely with ones bloody type and the diet that is appropriate for each individual. This is achieved by looking at both the Chinese energetic of foods as well as which foods complement ones blood type. You can find Serena’s price list just below.
