About
Annie Astbury
BA (Hons), PGCert, Lic.Ac, MAAC
Annie trained in Five Element acupuncture at The Acupuncture Academy in Leamington Spa in 2018.
In clinic
Your diagnosis and treatment plan
In clinic, Annie's approach offers each patient a tailored diagnosis of their health needs. During a thorough initial consultation, she will diagnose your element and any imbalances in your body, mind and spirit. We will delve into your medical history and lifestyle. There will be a physical palpation as well as pulse and tongue diagnosis.
Annie will create a bespoke treatment plan for your specific health needs and will discuss treatment spacing to ensure the most efficient outcomes for you.
Acupuncture is an effective treatment for many complaints. For more information on whether acupuncture is suitable for you, visit the FAQ page.
Annie has a special interest in women's health, offering support through menstruation issues and menopause. She has worked with many women who are receiving chemotherapy, and post-cancer recovery.

Five element acupuncture
What conditions do you treat?
Acupuncture is a truly holistic approach to health. A Chinese Medicine practitioner doesn't treat conditions, symptoms or labels... it treats the individual, systemically.
