About Emily | Five Element Acupuncture in North East London
My path into Five Element Acupuncture began as a patient over 10 years ago. After years spent seeking answers for various digestive and women’s health issues resulted in me feeling emotionally low and wondering what was wrong; left without support or explanation I sought a different route to healing which led me to acupuncture. As weeks and months progressed I found seemingly random improvements in my health - from sleep, to stress levels to digestion. Then over the long-term, I found my sense of self reaffirmed and I felt more authentically me, more grounded and with a greater capacity to hold life’s challenges.
It is this experience that fuels my practice today.
My approach
I believe that treatments should be collaborative and tailored—because every body is unique. Whole-person medicine embraces every aspect of who you are.
In my treatment room, time slows down. I aim to create a sanctuary away from the demands of daily life—a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can be witnessed and held. Whether you are navigating hormonal imbalances, relationship challenges, bereavement, or chronic pain, I offer a space where healing and transformation can unfold.
My role is to support and empower you on your journey back to your natural capacity to heal.
“With the benefit of regular treatments over many months I have no hesitation in highly recommending Emily to anyone who is considering acupuncture. Emily clearly cares about her work and with a calm and reassuring manner I feel relaxed and comfortable during my treatment. With her strong empathy and skills I leave feeling replenished with a real sense of restoring my well-being.”

“Years of long-term pain left me feeling broken and disconnected from my body, but for the first time I feel more in control. With Emily’s guidance, I’m learning to understand and trust my body again. Acupuncture has not only eased my Endometriosis symptoms but has also supported my mental wellbeing, treating my physical and mental health as one.
