Joana Turner NMC, RCN, AACP

Acupuncturist and Registered Nurse.

I have a First-class Honours BSc, with over 20 years NHS nursing experience. I currently work as a Senior Nurse Specialist at an internationally renowned teaching hospital in East London. 

I am an Associate member of and trained with the Acupuncture Association of Physiotherapists, qualified in Western Medical Acupuncture (WMA). This is the insertion of fine needles through the skin into various parts of the body to treat a wide range of conditions.  WMA differs from Traditional Chinese Acupuncture in its approach to where you are putting your needle and why; considering anatomy, biochemistry and neurophysiology.  

My interest in acupuncture began when I embarked on my own holistic health journey and found acupuncture  improved my overall wellness.  This was coupled with my own experience of providing many successful treatments of tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS), a type of stimulated acupuncture for bladder and bowel incontinence within my NHS role. Due to many factors general acupuncture and PTNS as a holistic treatment is difficult to source via the NHS, is not covered on many private insurance policies and can be expensive. 

I bring together my expertise in healthcare and acupuncture to offer a holistic approach to health and wellbeing. Each treatment is thoughtfully crafted to restore balance, promote healing, and help you feel your very best — inside and out.
