“I always feel like a million dollars after seeing Tom. However tired, stressed or aching beyond belief, it is as if he has washed away all the bad things and just left me with everything good.” Rachel Duffield
Traditional Acupuncture Acupuncture has been practiced in Edinburgh for many years and is a holistic system of healing that has evolved and developed over five millennia. Originating in China, it works by boosting your body’s instinctive ability to heal and in doing so can bring about significant changes remarkably quickly. Use acupuncture to manage your energy levels or heal specific symptoms. Acupuncture works by stimulating the body’s amazing capacity to heal and bring about, often extraordinary, and lasting change.
What can it help with?
Use acupuncture to manage energy levels from work stress, rebalance gynaecological hormones and heal injuries. Although the skills and wisdom of acupuncture have been passed down the generations, there is a growing body of modern Western research showing the benefits of acupuncture with:
It is always advisable to contact your GP for any health concern.
How does it work?
Your body uses energy to exist; it flows in patterns and can actually be measured in micro volts.
These patterns can be disrupted by negative thoughts, emotions, inappropriate diet and activities – work, sports etc.
These imbalances can cause pain, stress and emotional disruption – a myriad of symptoms.
An acupuncturist's role is like a biological electrician, to return a correct, balanced flow of energy to all areas of the body. This is done through the use of tiny sterile needles placed gently into the body’s energy pathways to stimulate your natural healing systems.
What to expect
Consultations take around an hour, enabling us to really get to the bottom of what is causing your symptoms. I’m interested in treating the root cause as well as symptoms - to give you lasting relief - and this will also include specific recommendations about diet, relaxation, exercises and possible new ways to view a problem.

Testimonials
“…a huge improvement with my periods, general health and my mental wellbeing…”
“I was given Tom's number by a good friend of my mother’s, who highly recommend him. I’d seen my doctor on several occasions regarding very bad periods and I really didn't feel I was getting anywhere. So I looked for an alternative; Tom was my answer. His gentle and caring manner immediately put me at ease, and within just a few sessions, he’d helped me overcome problems I’d been battling for years. I now have regular acupuncture sessions and have noticed a huge improvement with my periods, general health and my mental well being: I’m feeling much more positive and happy in myself. Having started acupuncture because someone recommended it to me, I now recommend Tom to as many people as I can.” - Rhona Summers
“…improved the condition to such an extent…”
“I had a painful and debilitating issue with my knee which made even walking painful. I was due to go skiing within six weeks which would have been impossible had my knee not improved. Three acupuncture appointments improved the condition to such an extent that I was able to ski absolutely normally.” - Huw Williams
"…we have been given the greatest gift of all…"
I started treatment with Tom in the Autumn of 2011 to help me conceive naturally. Prior to this I had suffered two miscarriages and the loss of my first born son when he was only nine days old. Given my age at the time (44 years old) I knew my chances of getting pregnant again were slim at best but I was prepared to give natural methods one last shot before going down the route of assisted reproduction.
I had already been having acupuncture and other complementary therapies as well as attending a natural fertility clinic before seeing Tom but he had come highly recommended and I felt that it was time for a change.
The great thing about Tom is that it is not just about going along for acupuncture - he takes a whole mind and body holistic approach and helps deal with any kind of emotional issues that may be acting as a barrier to helping you achieve your goal. His serene wisdom, patience and positive outlook were a great help to me, plus he was full of practical suggestions such as techniques to practice at home, books to read etc.
I saw Tom every two weeks and he tailored the acupuncture in accordance to my ovulation chart. Amazingly I fell pregnant after my third visit but sadly miscarried a few weeks later - a sign that my body needed further work and strengthening before it could sustain a pregnancy. I am pleased to say that the regular acupuncture and Chinese herbs did work and in July 2012, shortly after my 45th birthday I fell pregnant. In March of this year my beautiful daughter Eva arrived to the great joy of myself and my husband. Eva has just turned 7 months and every day is a new discovery - for her and for us! Thanks to Tom we have been given the greatest gift of all and we couldn't be happier. Seeing Tom was the best investment I ever made and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a highly gifted alternative practitioner. - Janet Liu
