Treatments

Traditional Chinese medicine looks beyond individual symptoms to understand the body as a whole.

The connections between physical health, emotional wellbeing and lifestyle can help us identify underlying patterns of imbalance.

Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine aim to support the body's natural capacity for regulation and balance.

I'm Gemma, a qualified Acupuncturist and Chinese herbal medicine practitioner with over 15 years of clinical experience. I hold a BSc in Acupuncture and a Master's degree in Chinese Herbal Medicine, offering personalised treatments in East Finchley and East Barnet, North London.

I work with a wide range of health concerns, with particular experience in headaches and migraines, fertility and women's health, digestive disorders, and musculoskeletal pain.

My approach combines traditional Chinese medicine with individualised care, taking the time to understand each person's health and wellbeing.
