Christine MacFie's Practioner Biography
My background in health and social care underpins the way I work as an acupuncturist.
I graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Acupuncture from the International College of Oriental Medicine. My training provided a thorough grounding in acupuncture theory and practice, incorporating Stems and Branches and 5 Element systems of acupuncture, alongside the more commonly known Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) method. It also included the compulsory study of Western anatomy, physiology and pathology.
In addition to the knowledge and experience I've gained from working for a number of years in private, multidisciplinary clinics, I was a volunteer acupuncturist at the Brighton MacMillan Centre for three years, supporting many cancer patients before, during and after their treatments.
I have a strong interest in using acupuncture to help people with acute and chronic pain, reduce stress and anxiety levels, achieve better sleep and enjoy greater daytime energy.
When you receive treatment from me as a qualified and insured member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) you can be assured that your wellbeing and safety is at the heart of everything I do.
