About Christina

ChristinaI am a highly qualified and licensed Acupuncturist practicing in Maidenhead, and  a fully insured member of the BAcC (British Acupuncture Council),  the UK’s largest professional body for the practice of Traditional Acupuncture in the UK.

Background

Before becoming a fully qualified TCM/Five-Element Acupuncturist, I trained with Body Control Pilates in London, where I qualified as a Level 3 Pilates teacher, in both matwork, and the pilates reformer machine. 

My pilates background has given me a special interest in muscular-skeletal conditions, as well treating a wide range of conditions such as; anxiety; stress; insomnia; back/knee pain; women's gynaeacological health and facial acupuncture.
