About Me
I fell in love with Acupuncture after some health problems I had forced me to seek out complimentary medicine.
​
In 2020 I completed and obtained a BSc (Hons) in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine from the country’s leading teaching provider in TCM and Acupuncture - the prestigious Northern College of Acupuncture, in York.
Continually furthering my education & research to be as up to date and informed as possible, completing various CPD courses and I am also fully qualified in Facial Enhancement Acupuncture.
​
Within life & work, I pride myself on being kind, thoughtful, efficient and being able to deal with most situations we may face working together with good humour and a sense of ease.

Please do have a look at the website for further information and feel free to message me if you have any questions at all.

My Specilisations
Mental Health
Modern life takes its toll on all of us, no matter how 'good' your life is or the quality of your support circle. We often plod on, feeling not quite right, sweeping it of as feeling a bit low and it'll just pass. Headaches, body aches & stomach pains come along and we don't link it to our mental state, but very often, that's exactly what it is.
​
Take the time to come along and get some help. Together, with the use of Acupuncture & various TCM methods, we can help ease that pressure. Even if you are currently taking medication for Anxiety/Depression, Acupuncture can compliment this and help you find balance.
Gynaecological Health
From our younger to our older years, we suffer from many complaints as we move through life, simply due to our reproductive system.
​
It doesn't always have to be this way, we don't need to simply accept something as 'part of life' or as a consequence of ageing.
​
Acupuncture may help with the following:
​
Menopause - including hot flashes
PCOS
PMT - Low mood, Sore Breasts, Irritability etc
Heavy & Painful Periods
Irregular Periods
Hormonal Imbalance
Amenorrhea - No Periods
Coping with Endometriosis
​
​
​
Pain
Pain can be inflicted upon us in various guises. We have acute pain, which can be a pulled a muscle, an injury or a sudden twinge in the back.
​
We have chronic pain, which can be a whole host of different forms such as:
​
Fibromyalgia
Rheumatoid & Osteo Arthritis
Cancer Recovery
Headaches/Migraines
Nerve damage
Scar Tissue
Back/Neck Pain
Plantar Faciitis
​
​
Basically anything that causes you discomfort on an on-going basis. Acupuncture is a proven method of helping to reduce pain and helping you to manage it better. It is a part of the NICE guidelines for treatment for chronic pain
​
General Wellbeing
Acupuncture is the perfect remedy for keeping us in good general health and can help with:
​
Managing stress levels
Supporting good sleep
Relaxation
Whirling Thoughts
Supporting Talking Therapy
Fatigue
Immune System Support
General Aches & Pains
Brain Fog
Digestion Issues
High Blood Pressure
Supporting Diabetes Control
Gut Health
​
Gut Health is a key feature in TCM & Acupuncture. Poor gut health is a stepping stone into disease and illness. Not only this, but it can affect our over all wellbeing - from headaches, poor skin, poor sleep, fatigue, to brain fog and inability to concentrate.
​
It can also affect our immune systems, so we become more susceptible to illness and disease, along with a slower recovery time.
​
​
If you feel that any of these are causing issues in your life, get in touch and we'll work together to help get this resolved.
Facial Enhancement Acupuncture
I have trained personally with Paul Adkins of the world renowned leading cosmetic treatment - Facial Enhance.
Cosmetic Acupuncture is a natural alternative to Botox, Fillers & Facelifts. It can help to repair damage and prevent further signs of ageing.
It does this as it helps the body to produce collagen ( a protein that is used by the body for skin production - it is what fills in those fine lines and keeps the skin looking plump) and to stimulate the facial muscles.
​
The treatment includes a facial and facial acupressure massage upon removal of needles

Weight Management
Whether you're looking for assistance in weight management because you have a health issue exacerbated by excess weight such as knee/back pain, shortness of breath, fatigue. Or if it's simply you feel like losing some weight will just help you feel better in general - Acupuncture can help.
​
Acupuncture helps by regulating your blood sugar, to stop spikes and in response to that, cravings for the refined carbs and sugar. It helps with our overall mood and willpower, helping us to stay focused on why we want to lose weight.
​
I myself am currently going through a weight management journey, so i would hope you would feel comfortable discussing this with me as I totally understand the frustrations and emotions this issue stirs. There's no judgement or preaching here.
​
As well as your Acupuncture sessions, you will also be provided with some food guidance based on TCM principles, which will be personalised to you and your TCM diagnosis - totally up to have a look and choose if you want to use, all or none of the suggestions.
Testimonials
Kelly is a star, had my first appointment in June. Suffering with a trapped nerve in my neck for months before getting in touch with her. Started with the acupuncture then added cupping. I’m now pain free and so grateful to Kelly for her care. She’s a lovely girl with a big personality. Made me feel at ease immediately. Still going to attend her clinic for now but not as often, just to keep my body in perfect condition and pain free. Thanks again x
Tracy Coulson
I've been for a few sessions with Kelly for Acupuncture to help treat my anxiety. I was really appreciative of the kindness and understanding I was shown during my sessions. I was unsure about acupuncture but it was has really helped me cope better and control my anxiety. Thank you so much!
Chris Matthews
I came to Kelly for help with my periods. I was suffering with them being heavy and painful. It took some time, but eventually we got my cycle regular and normal flow, without the horrible pain and mood swings I was having. Aside the periods, I found coming for Acupuncture really helped my migraines and my mood in general, I definitely felt calmer for a few days after treatment.
