Modern care & healing through a holistic lens
Hello, my name is Eloise.
I’m a fully licensed and accredited acupuncturist (Lic Ac, BSc Hons, MBAcC) with a BSc (Hons) in Psychology. In treatments I combine my knowledge of acupuncture, psychology, diet and lifestyle and how these can best compliment each other for optimal health. I’m trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture and my treatments may also include additional techniques such as electro acupuncture, gua sha and auricular (ear) acupuncture.
I know first-hand what it means to go through life’s challenges, and how they may show up for us both mentally and physically. The valuable combination of my professional background and rich personal life experiences allows me to offer a professional and non-judgmental space for people in all stages of life to bring you back to balance in both body and mind.
I practice at Third Space Medical Centre in Soho, London and will be opening a treatment space in Kent soon.
I’m passionate about women’s health and have undertaken further studies in this area including on acupuncture for fertility. As a member of the Acupuncture Fertility Network, I have helped women of all ages with symptoms ranging from fertility issues, hormonal imbalances as well as the stages of peri-menopause and menopause. And I’m also a member of The British Acupuncture Council, the UK’s principal regulatory board of acupuncturists which is regulated and approved by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care.
For any questions about acupuncture and treatments with me, I’m here to help so please don’t hesitate to reach out!
As seen in:
“The session [with Eloise] easily leapfrogged into one of the most effective acupuncture treatments I’ve had, sending me into a hazy state as soon as the needles were in, and I emerged back into the vigour of town with less acute neck pain and a greater sense of being grounded. This, for a single session, is remarkable in my experience.”
- Madeleine Spencer, Wellness & Beauty Editor

My services
Acupuncture
From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective Qi (life force or energy) flows through the body along pathways called meridians. When you are in good health, the Qi flows freely. When the Qi is interrupted or slowed, illness or pain can occur. Acupuncture looks to address these imbalances by unblocking, balancing and stimulating the body’s innate ability to heal itself.
From a Western medical perspective acupuncture stimulates sensory nerves under the skin and in the muscles. This causes the body to produce natural substances such as pain relieving endorphins. These endorphins have similar characteristics to painkillers that can affect systems in our bodies such as immunity, digestion and hormones. Acupuncture can decrease inflammation, ease muscle pain and boost the immune system by increasing the T-cell count.
With over 13,000 clinical trials registered in the Cochrane Database, and numerous systematic reviews demonstrating its effectiveness, acupuncture continues to gain recognition as a valuable treatment option. This includes within the NHS, where it's offered as a complementary approach to managing various health conditions. Organisations including the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) have endorsed acupuncture for a variety of conditions, further affirming its credibility.
Auricular (Ear) Acupuncture
In auricular acupuncture tiny needles are placed into acupuncture points on the outer ear exerting a gentle stimulation that creates a response in a particular part of the body to promote natural self-healing. It’s based on the understanding that the ear is a microsystem representing the entire body. There are hundreds of acupuncture points in the ear, each correlating with a specific area or function of the body.
Electroacupuncture
Electroacupuncture involves using tiny electrodes attached to pairs of acupuncture needles to run an electrical current through the body. This circuit of electricity activates the sympathetic nerve fibres and increases circulation thus improving blood flow that is essential for reducing inflammation and kickstarting recovery. Electroacupuncture can be useful when treating conditions such as neurological disease, chronic and acute pain, arthritis and spasms.
Infrared Heat Therapy
Infrared heat therapy has a restorative and rejuvenating effect on the body. Exposure to infrared light may improve the circulation of oxygen rich blood around the body, meaning, injuries heal quicker, cells regenerate faster, and pain doesn’t last as long. It can help relieve symptoms associated with a range of conditions, including muscle pain arthritis, inflammation, sciatica and menstrual pain.
Gua Sha
Gua sha (pronounced "gwa-shah") is an ancient technique that has been used in China for over 2,000 years. It is used to promote healing, stimulate circulation and blood flow, relieve musculoskeletal pain, release tension and reduce inflammation. We use a small, smooth-edged tool to firmly stroke your skin, lubricated with oil, to help Qi flow again.
