I offer acupuncture that’s steady, attentive, and shaped around real life. In this space, there’s time to slow down, listen to what your body is asking for, and support it gently back towards balance. We do this entirely at your own pace. My role is to listen, observe, and offer the right tools to help that process unfold gently.
Traditional Chinese Medicine & Five Element Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a time-honoured system of medicine that works with the whole person — body, mind and spirit — rather than just isolated symptoms.
Using fine, gentle needles, I help the body return to balance, reduce pain and tension, regulate hormones, and support emotional wellbeing. Each session is shaped around how you arrive that day, helping you move through life with more steadiness, clarity, and ease.
What to Expect from a Session
Each appointment begins with a thoughtful check-in to explore how you’re feeling physically, emotionally, and energetically. From there, I’ll create a treatment tailored to what’s most needed in the moment.
Sessions may include:
Cupping therapy
Moxibustion
Guasha
Tui Na massage
Chinese lifestyle or nutrition advice
You’ll have a full hour in a quiet, private treatment room. My focus is entirely on you throughout. This is your time to feel heard, cared for, and gently brought back into balance.

Patient Stories
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
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.
