Welcome to the website of Fiona Wallis, a
registered acupuncturist working in Caterham, Chaldon, Coulsdon & Croydon.
Many people come to Acupuncture to find relief from specific complaints or conditions, others become aware of more subtle changes in their daily life. What is also clear, however, is that you do not have to be ill in the traditional sense to experience the benefits from acupuncture.
Because Western medicine views diagnosis and illness as tangible biochemical concepts that lead to pathology, it applies names, labels and conditions. This can lead to an understanding and recognition of the problem, for the patient, but it can also lead to confusion, helplessness and acceptance of what will happen or develop - often in an unconstructive way.
Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture is simpler. With it's holistic approach to the Mind, Body and Spirit diagnosed through an imbalance of Qi, Yin and Yang, or the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water) it can focus on and relieve specific diseases, symptoms, labels or categories by encouraging the body’s own healing response.
