The Acupuncture Clinic

Rachel Pattison has a Licentiate of Acupuncture having graduated from the International College of Oriental medicine (ICOM) with a first class BSc honours degree. She feels privileged to have studied at ICOM, and has taken the knowledge that she has gained there to formulate individually tailored treatments in a compassionate and skilled manner to treat the root of the patient’s condition. In addition to acupuncture, Rachel has a diploma in therapeutic massage and natural facelift massage which she integrates into her acupuncture treatments when it is appropriate.

Rachel is registered with and insured through the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC). The BAcC is the largest regulatory body for professional acupuncturists in the UK. This means that she provides the highest standard of professional care by fully complying with their code of professional conduct and their code of safe practice.

Rachel grew up in an environment which exposed her to oriental philosophy and culture and became fascinated with acupuncture in particular while living in South East Asia. No longer a job, rather a way of life, she perceives acupuncture as a journey of learning and is captivated by the subject and the results that it produces.
