Your Trusted Partner in Rejuvenation
and Healing Providing the Highest Standard of Care with Acupuncture and Tuina

Christine Son is a Registered Acupuncturist with the British Acupuncture Council and the British Medical Acupuncture Society. Her service to medicine is shaped by her personal health journey, including overcoming her own challenges and the loss of a close family member due to medication side effects. This experience inspired her to explore natural remedies and dedicate her life to helping others manage and overcome illness.

Acupuncture, rooted in her cultural heritage, resonated with Christine as a holistic approach. By applying East Asian Medicine principles to her own recovery, she now brings that vision to her practice, guiding patients toward better health.

Christine studied Chinese Medicine at the International College of Oriental Medicine and City College of Acupuncture. She is also a certified Tuina practitioner through the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine and has gained valuable clinical training and experience at Kyung Hee University Hospital of Korean Medicine in Seoul. Additionally, Christine is a qualified reflexologist and auricular Acupuncturist, accredited by the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA).

Her distinctive service, Acupuncture and Tuina, combines gentle, calming touch with deep therapeutic intent, promoting relaxation, balance, and vitality. Christine believes that touch is a powerful tool—breaking down barriers, releasing blockages, and nurturing self-esteem. Through empathetic listening and a deep understanding of each patient, she guides them toward lasting health with compassion and clarity.

Christine combines East Asian medicine principles with Western anatomy to provide individualised care. She has worked at Princess Alice Hospice and in top-rated Acupuncture clinics across London, gaining extensive experience with a wide range of patients and conditions.

Fully insured through the British Acupuncture Council, Christine provides the highest standards of safety and care for her patients.

I have always seen medicine as both a science and an art. Knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and clinical science forms the foundation—but meaningful treatment goes further. The best care includes a ‘plus alpha’: experience, intuition, sensitivity, and compassion that transform knowledge into true impact. In this balance, medicine becomes not only effective but also deeply human.

Services

Standard Session

£90 – One Hour

Comprehensive Acupuncture and Tuina tailored to your needs

Acupuncture and Tuina work together to support body and mind, relieving pain from back tension, headaches, and sports injuries, or simply helping you feel more at ease. These therapies also boost digestion, circulation, and immune function. They’re great for women’s health and help restore balance, reducing stress, anxiety, and poor sleep.

For a gentler approach, Japanese acupuncture offers a soothing, more subtle treatment.

Tuina Session

£100 – 45 Minutes

Focused treatment for particular areas of tension or pain

Tuina is a hands-on therapy that targets muscles, tendons, joints, and fascia to relieve tension, improve circulation, reduce swelling, and restore movement. Techniques like kneading, stretching, and rolling help release tightness in the fascia, promoting smoother movement and pain relief. This needle-free therapy is especially effective for muscle stiffness, joint pain, and chronic discomfort.

While Acupuncture works on a deeper energetic level, Tuina provides immediate physical relief, addressing issues directly in the muscles and connective tissues.

Facial Session

£120 – One Hour

Facial Acupuncture and Reflexology to lift, glow, and unwind — the natural way

This feel-good combo of facial acupuncture and reflexology is designed to refresh your skin, melt away tension, and leave you feeling balanced inside and out.

Ultra-fine needles and facial reflex points boost circulation, soften lines (yes, even on the neck), and bring out your skin’s natural glow — no toxins, no fuss, just real results.

Includes gua sha for that extra glow-up.

It’s your skin’s way of saying “thank you” — and your cue to walk out glowing, calm, and quietly confident.

On-Demand Session

£150 – As Required

For urgent or exceptional cases
(out of hours, sports injuries, sudden pain flare-ups, etc.)

We provide flexible treatment options tailored to your needs — offering timely care and extra support when you need it most.

Common Concerns

Pain Relief

Pain doesn’t have to be the boss of you.

If you’re dealing with persistent back, neck, or joint pain, headaches, or sports injuries, Acupuncture and Tuina could be the relief you’ve been searching for. These therapies target key points to reduce inflammation and improve mobility, helping you move more freely and comfortably. Acupuncture is recognised by the World Health Organization (WHO) for its effectiveness in pain management. Whether it’s relieving muscle tension or boosting circulation, each treatment is personalised to fit your specific needs. We may also incorporate Cupping, Gua Sha, or Moxibustion to further enhance recovery and accelerate healing. Give it a go, and see how your body responds to these natural therapies.

Stress and Anxiety

Feeling like life’s a bit much?

Stress and anxiety can take a serious toll on your mind and body, but Acupuncture and Tuina are here to help. These therapies work together to release built-up tension and help calm your mind, restoring balance and promoting deep relaxation. If you’re struggling with sleep or feeling on edge, adding Reflexology or Auricular Acupuncture can deepen your relaxation and bring you even greater calm. Why not give it a tryand see how much lighter and more centred you can feel?

Digestive Issues

Your gut knows when things are off.

If you’re dealing with issues like IBS, bloating, acid reflux, or nausea, Acupuncture and Tuina can help improve gut function and ease digestive discomfort. By targeting key points to restore balance, we aim to relieve symptoms like nausea, bloating, and indigestion. When combined with Moxibustion, these therapies offer a gentle yet effective way to restore digestive harmony. And to make your healing even more complete, we provide personalised lifestyle advice to keep you feeling your best long-term.

Immune Support

Want to give your immune system a boost?

Whether you feel run-down or just want to stay strong, Acupuncture and Tuina are your natural allies in immune support. Acupuncture stimulates the immune system, while Tuina promotes circulation to boost vitality and energy. Moxibustion further strengthens your body’s defences, and Auricular Acupuncture, along with ear seeds, offers targeted immune support. If you’re looking for a natural way to feel more resilient, give it a go and see how it enhances your well-being.

Facial Rejuvenation

Glow up — the no-tox way.

Refresh your skin and feel amazing with facial acupuncture and reflexology. Tiny needles boost circulation, ease tension (bye, jaw clenching!), and encourage your skin’s natural glow. Reflexology targets pressure points on your face and neck, promoting balance and relaxation. Gua sha may also be included to enhance the glow and soothe your skin. Together, they may soften fine lines and neck wrinkles, brighten your skin, and boost your natural glow — supported by emerging research and totally on trend. Ready to glow no-tox style? Let’s get started!

Neurological Conditions

Movement is everything. Let’s support it.

Whether you’re dealing with Parkinson’s disease, stroke recovery, or chronic migraines, Acupuncture and Tuina work together to support neurological health. They can reduce tremors, improve motor function, and help ease migraine pain. Acupuncture is recognised by the WHO as an effective complementary therapy, while Tuina can often offer even more immediate relief for motor function recovery. Moxibustion can also help to warm and invigorate the body, enhancing movement and reducing symptoms. Reflexology and Auricular Acupuncture complement these therapies, further supporting movement and the nervous system. If you’re ready to improve your movement and comfort, let’s give it a try.

Chronic Conditions and Cancer Support

Living with long-term pain or recovering from cancer treatment?

Chronic conditions like fibromyalgia or arthritis can drain your energy, but Acupuncture and Tuina are proven ways to ease long-term pain and restore mobility. These therapies provide relief from stiffness and discomfort, helping you get back to doing what you love. If you’re going through cancer treatment or recovery, Acupuncture can ease fatigue, nausea, and stress while supporting your body’s healing process. For a more complete approach, we can add Moxibustion, Auricular Acupuncture, and Reflexology to further boost your recovery and well-being. Why not give it a go and experience how these therapies can help you feel better?

Women’s & Hormonal Health

Supporting you through every stage of life.

Whether you’re dealing with painful periods, menopause symptoms, fertility challenges, or postnatal recovery, Acupuncture and Tuina can help restore balance to your body’s rhythm. Moxibustion is particularly effective in boosting fertility and regulating hormonal imbalances, including PCOS and thyroid conditions. Gua Sha can enhance circulation to your reproductive organs, while Auricular Acupuncture provides targeted relief for hormonal support. Whatever you’re experiencing, we’re here to offer personalised care that helps you feel your best through every phase of life. Let’s work together to find the balance your body needs.
