Acupuncture is an ancient form of healing that has been used in the East for over 3000 years. Today, it benefits us as a powerful and effective form of treatment, relevant in our modern world.

Gabriella is one of the most experienced practitioners and teachers in London of Five Element Acupuncture: a classical style of acupuncture, pioneered in the West by a master of this tradition, the late Professor J.R. Worsley. Gabriella is based in a beautiful, tranquil setting in London, W2, within easy reach of Notting Hill, Bayswater, Maida Vale and Paddington by public transport and on foot.

The ancient Chinese discovered that the body has numerous points where energy, or Qi, can be readjusted and the flow restored by making contact with a fine needle. By treating the imbalance, it assists the body to restore its natural healing system. Many patients find acupuncture helps their physical symptoms improve as well as bringing about a greater sense of emotional wellbeing.

In short, acupuncture works as a way of reminding the body how to look after itself, through minimum intervention, with the only side effect being a greater sense of general well being, reaching beyond any physical symptoms originally presented. This happens because the skilled acupuncturist combines knowledge, genuine interest in each unique patient and strong rapport, forming a healing partnership with the patient.
