Struggling with menopausal or perimenopausal symptoms?

Acupuncture works in a different way to HRT and other supplements. Many of our patients find it a useful complement to their existing treatments.

We offer treatments from as little as £30 in our community multibed in Merstham with private appointments also available in our Redhill clinic.

If you'd like a free 15 minute, no obligation chat please do get in touch with Nicci at info@acupuncture-surrey.co.uk.

Breathe and Rest Gently in This Moment

Rest here for a moment,
near quiet waters,
letting the surface of the water hold silence,
and the silence hold you.

As the body rests,
the mind begins to quiet.
Thoughts soften,
like leaves drifting downstream.

As the ripples fade,
so do your thoughts.
They dissolve,
they settle,
they become still.

Awareness widens,
a horizon without edges,
expanding into gentle stillness.

You open,
breath by breath,
into spaciousness,
where nothing is hurried,
and everything belongs.

The world drifts softly around you,
and stillness settles
into every corner of your body.

There is no effort here,
no striving,
only the quiet unfolding
of what already is.

Breathe,
and rest gently in this moment.

At Acupuncture Surrey we focus on the patient experience.

Whether you are seeing us in our lower cost community multibed or our private clinic we make time to properly listen to you - not a too brief check-in and then off to work on someone else.

We personalise our treatments to you - not the same set of points week after week.

We build our treatment course around you - not a standard 10 treatments for everyone and everything.

If we can't help you we will be honest and tell you. If its going to take a long time we will tell you that too. If you need support from other services we will try to point you in the right direction.

Sometimes longstanding health issues take time to turn around. Sometimes we can make them a little easier to bear but we can't resolve them entirely.

We believe that you deserve great care and honesty.

If you'd like to know more about our clinics in Redhill, Reigate (from 1 October) and Merstham please contact us on info@acupuncture-surrey.co.uk or check our website at www.acupuncture-surrey.co.uk

*Shout out for my fabulous acupuncturist, Harry Freedman*

Feeling grateful today for the wonderful people in my life.

One of them is my acupuncturist and mentor, Harry Freedman. Not only is Harry an incredibly knowledgeable practitioner of Stems and Branches (constitutional acupuncture) with deep roots in Chinese medicine and philosophy, he’s also a lovely person 😊.

With Harry’s support, I’m not only working on physical health but also finding my way towards a more authentic version of myself. That’s the magic of Stems and Branches acupuncture—it helps create an internal energetic environment which allows you to explore who you truly are.

I’ve chosen to focus my own practice in this style of acupuncture, and I’m grateful for Harry and others guiding me on the journey.

If you’re in the East Grinstead or Forest Row area and looking for acupuncture, I can’t recommend Harry enough.

As well as an acupuncturist I am also a tai chi and qigong teacher. The qigong I teach is called Taijiwuxigong and I posted the below about why I love teaching it and the benefits it has for people's health and happiness on my Tai Chi & Qigong Surrey page earlier.

*****

Taijiwuxigong for health and happiness
A teacher's perspective

Taijiwuxigong is a powerful qigong system developed by Dr. Shen Hongxun. As you can see from my well-worn and much-loved manual, its central aim is to support both the health and happiness of those who practise it.

I especially love that happiness is part of the purpose. As a teacher, I try to bring that into every class—sharing not just tools to support your physical and emotional wellbeing, but also laughter, smiles, and a strong sense of community.

To me, Taijiwuxigong is about learning to understand your body and emotions on a deeper level. It invites us to come into the body and out of the overactive mind—not to become mindless, but to become more aware. You’ll start noticing posture habits, tension patterns, and gradually discover how to release what's no longer serving you. This allows you to move more freely and feel lighter—both physically and emotionally.

(If you’re curious about emotional release and the “double vicious circle” of posture and emotion—come along to a class and experience how we work with it!)

Taijiwuxigong is a personal journey—different for each individual. One of the things I love most about teaching is adapting the exercises to meet each student's needs. That might mean helping someone open the chest for easier breathing, improving balance or joint mobility, building leg strength, easing stress in a tense or traumatised body, or simply allowing lightness and joy to return.

Each class is tailored to what you need—whether that’s stillness and quiet, or reawakening dormant muscles and energy pathways.

Come give it a try!
We meet at the Quaker Meeting House in Reigate. Our new term starts 10 September.

Class times:
🌀 Wednesdays, 10am – Taijiwuxigong
🌀 Wednesdays, 6:30pm – Taijiwuxigong with Tai Chi form
🌀 Wednesdays, 11:30am – Tai Chi form only

Your first class is free.
All are welcome—come as you are, and begin where you are.

*Multibed acupuncture*
*Low cost but not low quality*

🌿 Ever wondered how our community acupuncture clinic in Merstham works — and why we started it?

When I qualified as an acupuncturist, one of my biggest goals was to make acupuncture more accessible. That’s why I offer pro-bono treatments at Macmillan once a week and also run a lower-cost community multibed clinic in Merstham.

💚 The multibed clinic has been running since December 2022 at the Age Concern MRR Hall. We’re open Monday evenings and some Saturday mornings, offering hour-long treatments with a qualified acupuncturist for just £30–£45 (you choose what you can afford). That’s about half the usual cost in the area.

🛏️ What’s a multibed clinic?
We have 4 treatment spaces set up with privacy screens. You’ll have 30 minutes of one-on-one time with the acupuncturist for diagnosis and needling, then rest while we treat the next person. We're always nearby if you need anything.

This model is widely used in China and is growing in the UK too — ideal for those who want professional care but are on a tighter budget.

💬 We support patients with a wide range of issues, including (but not limited to):

Headaches & migraines

Musculoskeletal pain (neck, back, shoulders, etc.)

Hormonal & menstrual issues

Fertility support

Fatigue

Digestive complaints

Anxiety & panic attacks

Hay-fever

Side effects of cancer treatment

Bell’s Palsy

We believe everyone should have access to quality care — and, to our knowledge, we’re the only community multibed clinic in the area.

What are you putting off doing or saying?

09/07/2025

We have space in the lower cost community multibed clinic this coming Saturday morning (12 July at 10.30 or 11am) for a new patient.

If you have been struggling with an issue and would like to try acupuncture to address it now is a great opportunity.

Initial appointments are 90 minutes and cost £40-45 (you decide how much to pay). This is roughly half the going rate for an initial acupuncture appointment locally so a more affordable way to explore this powerful practice.

Contact Nicci at info@acupuncture-surrey.co.uk if you'd like a free chat about your symptoms or to book an appointment.
