Neurological Health
Support in Bath
A thoughtful approach to complex symptoms
Neurological symptoms can affect movement, sensation, balance, pain, energy and confidence. I take time to understand how they affect you as a whole person, consider the different factors that may be influencing how you feel, and identify the forms of support that may be most appropriate for you.
When neurological symptoms affect everyday life
Neurological symptoms can be difficult to live with—and sometimes difficult to explain. They may affect how you move, think, feel and manage everyday life, while also influencing your independence, relationships and confidence.
You may be dealing with a diagnosed neurological condition, recovering after an illness or injury, or experiencing symptoms that are still being investigated. Sometimes the symptoms themselves are only part of the picture; disrupted sleep, fatigue, pain, digestive changes, medication and the emotional strain of living with uncertainty can all affect how you feel.
I take time to understand your experience as a whole—not simply the name of a condition. This allows us to consider what matters most to you and where thoughtful, practical support might make a difference alongside your medical care.
How I approach neurological health
Neurological symptoms rarely exist in isolation. Alongside changes in movement, sensation or cognition, you may also be dealing with pain, disrupted sleep, fatigue, digestive problems, medication effects, stress or changes in mood and confidence.
I look at these different aspects of your health together. We’ll consider your diagnosis and medical history, how your symptoms have developed, your current treatment and investigations, and the wider factors that may be influencing how you feel and function.
Depending on what is appropriate for you, your support may draw on acupuncture, Functional Medicine and practical changes to nutrition, sleep, movement and daily routines. My aim is to complement your existing medical care and help you identify realistic priorities—not to replace the advice or treatment of your neurologist, GP or rehabilitation team.
What might we focus on?
Your priorities will depend on your diagnosis, symptoms and how they affect everyday life. Areas we might explore include:
Movement, mobility and coordination
Balance and confidence
Pain and altered sensation
Fatigue and energy
Sleep and recovery
Memory and concentration
Stress and emotional wellbeing
Digestion, nutrition and metabolic health
Neurological conditions I work with
I work with people living with a range of neurological conditions, as well as those revovering from neurological illness or injury. This may include people with Parkinson’s desease, multiple Sclerosis (MS), peripheral neuropathy, stroke and other neurological conditions.
Treatment is always tailored to the individual and focuses on the symptoms and wider health concerns that are most important to you. Acupuncture and other supportive approaches are used alongside, rather than as a replacement for, your neurological or medical care.
Specialist training in neurological acupuncture
Neurological health and rehabilitation are particular areas of professional interest for me. Alongside my core acupuncture training, I have undertaken specialist training in Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture (YNSA) with David Bomzon and Avi Amir, internationally recognised teachers and practitioners in this field.
YNSA is a specialist form of scalp acupuncture used within neurological rehabilitation and pain management. My training in this allows me to tailor treatment carefully around each person’s diagnosis, symptoms, mobility, medical care and stage of recovery.
Where appropriate, I may incorporate YNSA into a broader, whole-person approach that also considers sleep, nutrition, energy, stress and general wellbeing. Any support is designed to complement—not replace—the care provided by your neurologist, GP or rehabilitation team.
What happens at your first appointment?
Your initial consultation gives us time to understand your symptoms, diagnosis, medical history and current care, as well as how your health is affecting everyday life.
We’ll discuss what matters most to you and consider the different forms of support that may be appropriate. Depending on your individual circumstances, the appointment may include acupuncture, alongside practical recommendations relating to areas such as sleep, nutrition, movement and daily routines.
You’re welcome to bring relevant medical letters, test results and a list of medications or supplements. Any recommendations will be carefully tailored to you and designed to complement your existing medical care.
