Acupuncture
Our acupuncture treatments use ultra-fine needles to stimulate energy flow and restore bodily balance. Proven effective for chronic pain, migraines, arthritis, and emotional disorders, this 3000-year-old practice activates natural healing mechanisms. We combine traditional techniques with modern neuro-anatomical understanding, specialising in scalp acupuncture for brain-related conditions. Treatments last 30-60 minutes and are tailored to individual health patterns.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Customised herbal formulations address root causes of health issues rather than symptoms alone. We prescribe over 300 high-quality herbs in decoctions, powders, or tablets to treat chronic conditions, hormonal imbalances, and immune deficiencies. Treatments adapt throughout your healthcare journey, combining with acupuncture for enhanced efficacy. All prescriptions follow strict quality control and safety standards.
Scalp Acupuncture
Developed from TCM principles and modern neuroscience, our scalp acupuncture targets brain function areas to treat stroke, cerebral palsy, and nerve injuries. This safe, effective method integrates multiple brain regions for bidirectional regulation, offering significant improvements in motor function and neurological health through targeted stimulation protocols.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Specialist pelvic floor treatments address prolapse, urinary issues, and postnatal recovery using sacral foramen acupuncture and tailored herbal support. Our evidence-based approach combines targeted needle placement with musculoskeletal realignment to restore pelvic organ positioning and functionality safely without surgical intervention.
Fertility Support
Our fertility program enhances conception success through acupuncture protocols synchronised with IVF cycles. Tailored treatments improve ovarian response, embryo implantation, and hormonal balance while reducing stress. Complementary herbal formulas optimise reproductive health, with treatment plans adapting to menstrual cycles and assisted reproduction timelines for maximum effectiveness.

Dr. Olivia is fantastic at providing acupuncture treatment and diagnosis. I benefited massively from her help and I would recommend her to anyone. I felt very imbalanced and lacking energy. It turned out that my energies were blocked on one side of the body. After a few acupuncture sessions I felt energetic and fantastic. I plan on having regular acupuncture sessions with Dr. Olivia as they help me rebalance physically and mentally.

Really helpful treatment with Olivia. Been coming a couple of months for recurrent cystitis, migraines and nerve pain. Because Olivia specialises in pelvic floor diseases and she uses sacral foramen acupuncture to treat me, my bladder, bad pain and migraines improved greatly and my eczema is gone. I also sleep better and have a better mood. I visited another acupuncture clinic that was cheaper but didn't get good results and felt worse. You get what you pay for. It's better to come to Olivia because she is qualified more and has more experience. What matters the most is good health and getting

Dr Olivia has been treating my daughter for the past 5 months now, unfortunately she was suffering from very heavy periods a long with anxiety and felt super sensitive along with being highly emotional at such a young age. Dr Olivia has been so kind and has gone above and beyond to help her, and weve had incredible results, she responded so well to the treatment.. We felt in such safe hands, and we would highly recommend Dr Olivia treatments.

After becoming bed bound in March 2020 with a very large number of symptoms and being under top doctors in London all they offered was a diagnosis and tablets to cover the symptoms up. Every day was a struggle with no quality of life! My partner had to bed wash me, push me in a wheelchair, cook for me, empty my wee bottle, not only was it hard on me but hard on my partner who was bringing up our 3 young children at the same time. Time went on with very little improvement then around April 2021 time I spoke to Dr Olivia, the functional way was the last resort

I went there due to severe lower back pain and was walking like a 90 year old. I had not read any reviews or anything like that. Olivia worked her magic for 1/2 hour and my back was pain free. I went back a few times to make sure that it remained that way and it worked. I would recommend her company as it does exactly what it says on the packet

I came to see Olivia in August hoping that she would be able to help me in my fertility journey. At the time I did not have my period for 2 months however wanted to to give 100% chance to be able to concieve at age of 42.Within a month having acupunture treatments, twice a week my period came back as normal. Olivia also established that I was not a good place mentally after going through a very stressful period of my life, I was suffering from anxiety. Thanks to her professional and caring nature I was able to beat anxiety and mentally was getting stronger again within the same time. Never met
