Welcome to the practice of Alison Courtney - acupuncturist, registered midwife, member of the British Acupuncture Council.

Alison began her career in the NHS in 1968, firstly as a nurse and then in 1979 she moved into midwifery. During the years of practice as a midwife came the recognition of the powerful ability of the body and mind to alter a process as dynamic as birth, which could not be understood using a modern medical model. This would eventually lead her to change her path and to train in acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

Her career as an acupuncturist allows her to call upon all of her previous experience while utilising Traditional Chinese Medicine to treat her patients.

Alison enjoys the challenge of a general practice treating a diverse range of diseases and ages, while at the same time having her interest in pregnancy treatment.

One of the most motivating aspects of Chinese medicine is that there is not a week that goes by in which something new isn't learnt, the enormous depth of this medicine is both inspiring and challenging. It also allows for the individuality of the practitioner and the patient to be acknowledged. Alison brings to her own practice a very grounded approach.

Please feel free to contact Alison anytime with your concerns/queries.
