Experienced acupuncturist in Sheffield, working in the Chinese tradition.

BSc Econ ( Hons), MBAcC, MATCM.

Vivienne has spent many years studying the most effective acupuncture techniques available in the world today.  She has studied with some of the most highly regarded Chinese medicine practitioners outside of China, including Dr Tan, whose Balance Acupuncture technique was brought from Taiwan to America and Professor Shulan Tang who Vivienne studied with for 2 years and who is qualified in Chinese medicine from both Nanjing and Beijing Universities. It is interesting to note that Dr Tang's herbal medicine professor had an impressive herbal medicine lineage, as his grandfather and teacher was the chief physician to the last Emperor of China(!).

Vivienne's focus  is on the study of traditional techniques, not widely known in the West, such as the Balance method, Distal acupuncture for pain relief and Master Tung points. She has a particular interest in treating chronic health problems of all kinds.

Vivienne has a deep interest in all aspects of spirituality and has studied meditation with the Self Realization Fellowship founded by Paramahansa Yogananda in the 1920s in America, which combines the wisdom of the Baghavad Gita and the New Testament.  Vivienne also believes in the vital importance of free will and all aspects of freedom in general.

Vivienne believes that illness is often a spiritual dis ease.  When we discover the meaning and purpose of our pain, it is easier to move on and heal our bodies, minds and souls.

As a member of the British Acupuncture Council (the lead body for acupuncture in the UK) & the Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture I uphold the standards and practices set down by these organisations. 

It also means you have a quality assurance of the treatment I give and the safety practices I adhere to.
