Hello, I’m Laura

I am a Bedfordshire-based acupuncturist, and I see people with a wide variety of symptoms and complaints, with a special interest in fertility, women’s health and musculoskeletal conditions.

 

Acupuncture works to re-establish your body’s equilibrium, with each person being treated as a whole, looking not just at presenting symptoms, but also the root of a condition. When working with someone, I like to spend time getting to know you, taking a full medical history to help me build your individualised care plan. I also strive to provide a welcoming, inclusive space for all. 

 

I first had acupuncture when a musculoskeletal issue flared up during a very stressful period of my life.
The improved sense of wellbeing that acupuncture promoted during this time made a profound impression
on me, and prompted me to learn more about this ancient medicine that is growing in popularity in
these modern times.

 

To find out more, I offer a free 15-minute consultation either online or over the phone, where I am happy to answer any questions you may have.

Testimonials

“Laura is absolutely brilliant, very knowledgeable, very kind and supportive. I came for a musculoskeletal issue. Laura’s treatments were so relaxing yet very effective. I am very pleased with the remarkable changes I have experienced. Only after a few sessions, I stopped taking painkillers and didn’t have any more treatments for 8 months. Thank you very much Laura for improving the quality of my life!”
