Acupuncturist: Sakura Kennedy (BSc, BAcC)
Sakura has a BSC (Hons) degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine from The University of Westminster, where she studied both Chinese Medicine and Western physiology and pathophysiology. She also studied Facial Revitalisation Acupuncture and Tui Na massage.
Sakura is a member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC), the main regulatory body for Traditional Chinese Medicine in the UK.
The principles of Chinese Medicine see a person as an integral whole. Sakura’s treatment not only addresses a patient’s presenting conditions, but also supplements or removes, where appropriate, whatever the body is lacking or producing in excess. In this way a 'single' course of acupuncture treatment is often able to apply itself to multiple problems.
Sakura has a keen interest in the application of acupuncture to gynaecological problems and fertility support, where she continues to keep herself up-to-date with the latest trends and skills. She also works for Imperial College Hospital in South Kensington, treating a wide range of conditions including acute infections, and chronic internal conditions such as asthma, hayfever, fatigue, insomnia and IBS.
