Tracey has a BSc Honours degree in acupuncture from The International College of Oriental Medicine and is a member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC). Also a Yoga teacher of many years, these dual disciplines guide her practice as a healthcare and bodywork practitioner.
The practice of acupuncture is not only one of the safest medical treatments available in the UK today, but is fast becoming one of the most popular forms of complementary therapy with over 2 million treatments now performed annually. If you have private health care check your policy, though cover may be limited acupuncture is fully or partially covered by many health insurers including BUPA.
The physical and meditative components of yoga practice are more associated with non-specific health benefits, although it has been studied as an intervention therapy for conditions such as back pain, stress and depression. Contemporarily it is used as a form of prevention rather than cure, in the East traditionally acupuncture is used in the same way.
