Hi, I’m Emma, and I’m excited to introduce myself and my practice!

This year, one of my goals is to be more visible to people in my local community who are curious about acupuncture, and I thought a social media post / blog would be a great place to start – even though it’s a little out of my comfort zone!

I’m celebrating my 20th year as an acupuncturist, and I feel so privileged to have this fulfilling career. I live and work in Pudsey, where my clinic is located at the side of my house. I’m available for appointments on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. On Wednesdays, I work at a multi-disciplinary clinic in Wetherby.

I decided to pursue acupuncture in my late 20s after realizing that my career in finance wasn’t bringing me happiness. I knew I wanted to help people, and after some research, I found the Northern College of Acupuncture. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! I truly believe in the saying, “Do something you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.” It’s a privilege to meet so many wonderful people and assist them with their health, well-being, and pain relief.

Outside of my work, I have a few passions:

  • Mountain Biking
