Acupuncture for When Life Feels Out of Balance
Sometimes life leaves us feeling out of sync, tired, tense, or just ‘off’. You might notice it in your sleep, your mood, or even the way your body moves.
You’re not alone, and it’s not something you have to ‘just live with.’ At SJL Acupuncture, we slow down, listen to what your body is telling us, and gently guide it back to balance and ease, together.

Why I do this work
I first found acupuncture in my early twenties, at a time when my body and mind were calling out for support. The transformative and life changing healing journey helped me restore balance and sparked a curiosity that eventually led me to leave the Civil Service and follow this path fully.
I trained at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine, graduating with First Class Honours and a licentiate in acupuncture. Today, I’m honoured to be the college’s Vice Principal, keeping me connected to the heart of this ever-evolving practice.
I am incredibly passionate about this holistic form of medicine. In my clinic, I blend Five Elements and Traditional Chinese Medicine, treating mind, body, and spirit as a whole.
What it’s like to work with me
I take a professional, gentle and intuitive approach that meets you exactly where you are, blending the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine with the Five Elements to treat mind, body, and spirit as a whole.
Treatment begins with a thorough and thoughtful consultation, allowing me to create a personalised plan just for you. Treatments may include acupuncture, cupping, guasha, moxibustion, Tui Na, and lifestyle or nutritional guidance, all chosen to support your body’s natural ability to restore balance.
My aim is to offer a space where you can slow down and reconnect — a place for the body to soften, the mind to quiet, balance to gently return, and for us to release your inner doctor.
You can find me at two clinics:
-
Cheltenham town centre
-
Kingshill, Dursley
Patient Stories
I've been really blown away if I'm honest of just how powerful Saras acupuncture sessions have been! Each time it's shifted things for me and allowed me to release stored emotions giving a feeling of renewed energy In life. Sara is incredibly intuitive always knowing exactly what I need! I honestly don't think id be seeking out traditional doctors again after experiencing the power of this!
Sara has the most amazing presence and has supported me with my experience of chronic pain. I feel safe, supported, seen and heard which has helped me so much. I would definitely recommend.
I was lucky enough to find Sara a few weeks ago after searching for a local Acupuncturist to help with a horrid back spasm.....and am so grateful to have received her amazing help. In just a few weeks she has gently - with great kindness, understanding, skill and care - relieved the spasm and the pain that l was in. I cannot recommend Sara enough. She immediately puts you at ease, listens and is just brilliant.
Wow I am so glad I booked to see Sara, my back pain has gone, no more pain and restful nights sleep now which is great. It has helped hugely with the menopause too. I just wished I had started it earlier. Sara is so lovely very friendly, extremely knowledgeable, a real tonic and I cannot recommend her enough to people.
Amazing experience, years of migraines and headaches cured within the hour. I must admit I never would have believed that a few needles could help me. Will 100% recommend.
I was recommended to see Sara & was sceptical she could help me but to my joy & amazement within 24hrs the pain started to ease. I didn’t think it would last but it has & I can’t thank Sara enough as my Dr wasn’t doing anything. Sara is very professional & caring. She’s not at all pushy. She really listens to how you are feeling. Thank you Sara
