Welcome to the Lotus Clinic – providing acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine in Edinburgh. You will receive professional qualified personal care during your time at my clinic and treatment for the cause as well as the symptoms of your health issues. The full power of Chinese medicine will be focused on your health, with a whole hour to address your individual health needs on each visit.
Acupuncture is completely safe. The needles are single use disposable. All the herbal products I use are safe. They are quality assured and from an RCHM 
approved supplier. They are un-sulphured, chlorine free and many are organic.
I have trained at degree level in the UK and I am a member of the regulatory bodies for acupuncture and herbal medicine. These are the British Acupuncture Council (MBAcC) and the Register of Chinese Herbal Medicine (MRCHM). I have been serving the health needs of Edinburgh folk for 8 years and have experience of treating patients with many different difficult issues like stroke, ME and fertility.
My clinics are a short walk from Edinburgh Castle in a calm, relaxing clinic space where you will receive elegant, pampering treatment. You will be treated with absolute respect for your individual health needs and personal boundaries. I will support you to choose the pace of change which suits you and your lifestyle.
An integral part of treatment is practical lifestyle and dietary advice to support your personal care. Sometimes referrals to another therapy are necessary, and we can decide together if this is the right way to go.
My previous experience in business and engineering consultancy means I understand the reality of lifes’ pressures, and I can develop an individual strategy just for you.
Chinese medicine is a medical system which focuses a personalised treatment on each individual patient. It treats the whole person who has a disease, rather than just focusing on the disease. The focus of treatment is to treat the cause of the disease as well as alleviating the symptoms. An important point about CM is that it treats ALL aspects of a person. It includes treatment of physical symptoms like pain and swelling, but also treats the emotional aspects of a person. This is because CM sees a person as a whole and the medical theory has been developed to take these emotional aspects into account. Advice and guidance will help you understand how you can support the progress of your treatment with diet and lifestyle improvements and changes. CM is a rich, well developed and very ancient medical system. It’s much more powerful than most people realize. The common idea that CM is only good for pain relief is very limiting, and fails to give people access to the rest of the iceberg! Please explore the possibilities and discover this richness for yourself.
