Lorna’s first encounter with acupuncture was as a patient while living in Japan in the early 1990’s. She was so impressed by the rapid results of her treatment, and fascinated by the holistic approach to health and life that she decided to investigate further; studying privately with her practitioner. Through treatment and study Lorna realised that the balanced approach of acupuncture and traditional chinese medicine offered solutions not only to healthcare but to greater well being in life generally. As a result she was inspired to train and qualify as an acupuncturist and on her return to Britain she completed an intensive three year diploma at the London College of Traditional Acupuncture. Lorna Withers’ long established Essex Acupuncture practise provides effective treatments combining Traditional Chinese acupuncture, cupping therapy and moxibustion. She is also pleased to have added the new techniques of Battlefield Acupuncture to this extensive arsenal.
