Helen Fielding - Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs

Acupuncture

Chinese Herbs

 

Time has passed swiftly. In 1980, I realised I wanted to study Chinese medicine as a result of learning taiji qian (tai chi) from my teens. I then qualified in Acupuncture in 1984 and have been in practice ever since.

In common with many acupuncturists of my generation, I undertook much postgraduate study as more aspects of Chinese medicine became available in the West. This included courses in specialist subjects such as women’s reproductive health, supporting pregnancy, early work in assisted fertility, respiratory conditions, muscular skeletal disorders, stems and branches and how to understand autoimmune disease.

I initially studied European herbs and was then fortunate to study Chinese Herbal Medicine when it was first taught in Britain at the end of the 1980s. The clinical aspect was certainly enlivened by volunteering for a year at the first herbal dispensary in Britain in Central London’s Soho, deep within the Chinese community.

I have been involved in teaching most of my working life. This includes on acupuncture, herbal medicine, and clinical supervision.

Most acupuncturists are generalists by the inclusive nature of the tradition. However, I do retain a special interest in women’s health issues and fertility, muscular-skeletal dysfunction and finding a solution to unexplained pain. All of these are excellent subjects for Chinese Medicine. Thankfully, I still practice taiji most days.

Helen Fielding has helped me enormously through the years. She treated me with both acupuncture and herbs through my infertility problems and during IVF, which resulted in the birth of my son. Not only is she a great acupuncturist, but her warmth and compassion made such a difficult time much easier to deal with.

Acupuncture & Chinese Herbs Success Stories

Having received treatment from many different acupuncture practitioners over the years, I can confidently say that both Helen and Jill are up there with the best.

Their long experience and their knowledge of the two major theoretical approaches in Chinese medicine, including the use of herbs, makes them quite possibly the best in Bristol.

Helen kept me sane.

Helen was my first acupuncturist. She has supported me through redundancy, retraining and flight from the rat-race – I’m now an acupuncturist myself – and I still have ‘MOT’ treatments from Helen.

I have been seeing Helen Fielding for many years now and I keep coming back due to the amazing results I always see every session. The treatment she applies to my body is in total response to what is most effective for it specifically – no more, no less -bringing about very positive results. I feel very safe in Helen’s capable hands; in fact I’m immensely grateful I have found her.

She has been a life-saver on many occasions for me.
