Sarah Gebreyes - Acupuncture Therapist

I am a fully qualified, traditional acupuncturist. I am a passionate believer in acupuncture and treat all age groups with a wide variety of conditions and symptoms. INITIAL TRAINING Professional Licentiate in Acupuncture from The Acupuncture Academy: a three and half year degree level course accredited by the British Acupuncture Accreditation Board. FURTHER TRAINING

Diploma in Paediatric Acupuncture: a 1 year course with Rebecca Avern, author of Acupuncture for Babies, Children and Teenagers, which is now used in colleges all over the world. She has also written a book for parents and practitioners called Chinese Medicine for Childhood Anxiety and Depression. My training was extensive and covered all aspects of Chinese medicine and acupuncture theory. Treatments focus on the Five Element Acupuncture approach which considers a person’s immediate symptoms as well as addressing the wider issues that might affect their general health and well being.

Alongside Traditional acupuncture, I am also qualified in Moxibustion (application of indirect heat using moxa a therapeutic herb to warm and relax muscles and stimulate the energy meridians), Cupping (glass cups with a vacuum seal placed on the skin to stimulate the blood flow and clear stagnation) and Gua-sha (a smooth-edged tool used to stroke the skin while pressing on it to treat chronic pain) and use these additional tools alongside acupuncture during a treatment as required. Dietary and lifestyle advice according to Chinese medicine is also offered as part of a patient's treatment plan if requested. I have a special interest in treating fertility, pregnancy, babies, children and teenagers. I have completed a postgraduate specialist diploma in Paediatric Acupuncture. I offer acupuncture as an effective, gentle and safe treatment for babies and children of all ages. I offer both child-friendly needle and needle-free techniques. It can be used in cases of both acute and chronic illness.
