We provide high quality acupuncture treatment at affordable rates. We are able to do this because we run what is called a multibed clinic. This means that for all subsequent treatments we see patients at 20 minute intervals and then allow you to relax with your needles in while we see the next patient. This allows us to pass the cost savings on to you the patient. While you are relaxing with your needles, each patient is given a bell with which you can call your acupuncturist at any time.

Traditional acupunctureis based on the principle that the health of the body and mind is dependent on the appropriate functioning of the energy systems that connect with and support every part of us. Acupuncture is used to tune these energy systems in order to bring about beneficial changes in health. Treatment is aimed at both the cause of disease as well as the symptoms.
Acupuncture is a form of Chinese medicine that promotes natural healing of the body. The science and art of acupuncture involves insertion of fine needles into specific points along meridians, or channels, of the body to stimulate the nervous system, which then activates mechanisms which bring about balance and healing within the body. Acupuncture is a great way of getting well and helps maintain good health enabling you to stay well.
Welcome to my website, and to the chance to enjoy an improved quality of life. I offer acupuncture, shiatsu and tuina (Chinese massage) treatment in Exeter, from a tranquil clinic adjoining the university campus and nature reserve, yet only 5 minutes drive from the city centre and major routes from elsewhere in Devon. I do it because I greatly enjoy practising a medicine which looks at the whole of you and which encourages your body to heal itself.
We were motivated into Chinese Medicine at the beginning of the 1980's by what was then a growing awareness of the vast amount of medical knowledge China had to offer. Our approach in the clinic is practical, well grounded in Chinese literature and the actual Chinese practice as well as the huge benefits of the integration of Western and Chinese Medicine. Simon initially studied Plant Science before gaining a First class degree in Philosophy.
