As a Five Element acupuncturist I have been trained to understand the natural laws, as observed by the ancient Chinese, who acknowledge the five seasons of Spring, Summer, Late Summer, Autumn and Winter and in turn related them to the Five Elements of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. Using these natural laws to diagnose and treat, I am able to assist the body to recover its own balance of health and harmony.

My name's Vivien. I work as an acupuncturist and my dream has always been to make a beautiful, unique space to practice acupuncture in. A friend suggested building a straw bale eco-house with rammed earth tyre foundations, straw bale walls and a reciprocating roof. It seemed like a good idea. The acupuncture-ecohouse is the result. It's in my back garden in a residential street in Oxford UK.
I practice acupuncture in Stonesfield, Bletchingdon, East Oxford and Oxfordshire generally for home visits: acupuncture can help to deal with exhaustion, stress, pain (short- and long-term), general health issues etc. You are welcome to contact me to ask for information, and I am happy to meet you to show you what is involved in a treatment and discuss your needs before you decide whether you want to go ahead.
