Profile
Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture
Traditional Chinese Medicine has been practised for thousands of years in China and the East as the main healthcare system. It is used to treat a vast range of health conditions and issues, physical, mental and emotional. It is a holistic treatment, addressing not only the presenting condition but also any root cause or deeper issues. Today, it is practised all around the world and people use it as an alternative to or alongside Western Healthcare.
Halcyon Acupuncture views each patient as an individual and each treatment will be specifically devised and focused entirely on creating the most successful outcome. A range of TCM techniques can be selected to help with your concerns and balance the body.
Carla trained for 3 years at the Northern College of Acupuncture, undertaking a degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine (Acupuncture). She is currently completing her MSc level in order to further her knowledge and experience. This has provided her with a grounding in Chinese Medicine and knowledge about Western Medical care.
Carla is a member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) which is the UK's largest professional body for the practice of acupuncture. She adheres to their strict Codes for Practice and Health and Safety. She is fully insured and licensed.
