My name is Ana Palma and I am a fully qualified Five Element Acupuncture practitioner, registered with the British Acupuncture Council.

I first experienced acupuncture when I was 20 years old. At the time I had been suffering from frequent migraines for about a year and a half and I was desperate to get rid of them. I had 10 sessions of acupuncture and never had a migraine again. That was 16 years ago!!!

During the course of treatment I discovered that acupuncture also helped me feel better in myself and more able to deal with the stresses of everyday life so I continued to go for treatment. Over the years I became fascinated by this non-invasive method of treatment and decided to train as a practitioner myself. I really enjoy helping people bring balance to their lives and improve their general health.

On a personal level, I have two young children and am well aware of the stresses of managing one’s family life and work. My life experience has helped me to understand my patients and support them wherever they are in their lives.
