Stephen graduated from The International College of Oriental Medicine in 2004 with a Bachelor of Science honours degree in Oriental Medicine – Acupuncture.  He is a member of The British Acupuncture Council. (BAcC).

Acupuncture has been an established mainstream treatment in the East for thousands of years. It is now acknowledged and respected in the West as a way to good health, encompassing the physical, psychological and spiritual aspect of man.

Although commonly thought of as a means of relieving pain, a wide range of illnesses can be treated by acupuncture. Acupuncture stimulates the body’s self healing process, focusing on the whole body in its entirety, rather than the isolated treatment of specific symptoms. It is used to prevent and treat physical, mental and emotional disorders restoring the body’s natural balance.

The origins of acupuncture lie in ancient China and can be traced back over 5000 years. The long history itself is evidence of its importance and effectiveness. It can produce rapid results but more often it requires a number of treatments over a period of time.
