Your Trusted Acupuncture & Naturopathy Partner in Oban
Forest Heart Acupuncture has been delivering expert acupuncture and naturopathy services in Oban since 2003. As a fully-qualified acupuncturist and naturopath with over 30 years of nursing experience, I combine Western medical knowledge with traditional Chinese practices to address chronic health conditions, women's health issues, and general wellness. My practice integrates acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary advice, and lifestyle counselling, supported by my background as a former NHS professional and acupuncture course director. I hold memberships with the Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine and have taught at the College of Naturopathic Medicine for five years.My approach prioritises individualised treatment plans, addressing root causes through diagnostic tools like iridology and laboratory testing. With a focus on both prevention and treatment, I offer home visits for patients requiring additional accessibility. My expertise spans musculoskeletal pain management, Long Covid support, and hormonal balance for peri-menopausal women, grounded in evidence-based practice and continuous professional development.
