About Me

Hello my name is Vanessa Jewell. I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) having completed a three year degree course at the College of Traditional Acupuncture in Royal Leamington Spa.  Through this I have studied Western medical sciences appropriate to the practice of acupuncture.  It is one of a few approved by the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC).  The BAcC maintains standards of education, ethics, discipline and practice to ensure the health and safety of the public at all times.  Through this I am covered by Medical Malpractice and Public/Products Liability Insurance.  As a member of the BAcC, I observe a Code of Safe Practice, which lays down stringent standards of hygiene and requires the use of sterile, disposable needles. 

I have always been particularly interested in the treatment of infertility with acupuncture.  In fact, this is what first introduced me to acupuncture while undergoing fertility treatment and eventually IVF.  I even wrote my dissertation in this subject.  Furthermore, I became an affiliated acupuncturist of the Zita West network for reproductive health.  All members receive training and ongoing support in Zita West’s comprehensive, holistic approach to achieving optimum reproductive health.  This covers a wide range of treatments and approaches to help boost fertility, enhance IVF, improve pregnancy, enhance birth outcomes and support postnatal recovery. 

 I am also one of a few practitioners trained in the specialised technique of Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture by Virginia Doran of New York.
