Welcome to Keziah Serena Acupuncture!

I am a Chinese Medicine practitioner who practices an integrated style of Traditional Chinese Medicine and 5 Element Acupuncture. I trained at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine where I received a degree qualification in Acupuncture.

Since qualifying as an acupuncturist, i have continued my journey of healing though bringing the wonderful art and science of acupuncture to those in need.

I work from a beautiful and tranquil treatment room located in Headingley, Leeds. The Clinic is well-served by local transport and free parking is available.

I am a full member of the Association of Acupuncture Clinicians (AAC) and the Acupuncture Regulatory Authority (ARA).

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a natural healing system based on ancient Chinese principles which date back to over 2000 years. By inserting fine needles into acupuncture points an Acupuncturist can help the body to balance its 'Qi', your body's vital energy. In modern times, lifestyle and environmental factors can cause the body's Qi to become scattered, depleted or blocked and this results in symptoms of pain, illness and disease.

Acupuncture offers a holistic approach to healing, addressing the body, emotions and spirit. By targeting specific points on the body, it stimulates to flow of energy (Qi), promoting physical health, reducing pain, and enhancing overall well-being. Emotionally, acupuncture can help alleviate stress, anxiety and depression, restoring balance to the mind. Spiritually, it fosters a sense of peace and connection by aligning the body's energy.

Each treatment is individually tailored to meet your unique needs, ensuring a personalised healing experience for mind, body and spirit.

Additional therapies

Cupping Therapy

Cupping Therapy is a traditional African, Chinese and Middle Eastern practice which can be used to treat a broad range of conditions.

Cupping involves placing suction cups on certain areas of the body. A flame is used to create a vacuum in each cup and this suction promotes the flow of blood. The cups may be static or oil may be applied to move then around a certain area.

Benefits of cupping include:

  • pain reduction
  • muscle relaxation
  • improved blood circulation
  • activation of the immune system
  • release of toxins
  • removal of wastes and heavy metals

Cupping is likely to leave red dots or small bruising on the skin. This is part of the therapeutic effect and will usually fade after 5-10 days.

Gua Sha

Gua Sha is a traditional healing technique rooted in Chinese Medicine, where a smooth-edged tool is scraped over the skin.

It is often applied to the back, neck, shoulders, or face to stimulate flow of Qi and blood, clear blockages, and promote overall wellness.

Gua Sha is believed to help expel "heat' or 'toxins' from the body, improve circulation and restore balance to the body's energy system. It is often used to treat conditions such as muscle pain, chronic tension, headaches, respiratory issues and colds.

This technique is often used in combination with acupuncture, to address both physical and energetic imbalances.

Moxibustion

Moxibustion is an essential part of Chinese Medicine which takes its name from moxa, a natural substance prepared from Mugwort leaves.

Moxa can be held just above the skin, or placed on top of an acupuncture needle or directly on the skin, usually over a specific acupuncture points or meridians. The herb is then lit and as it slowly smoulders, heat permeates the skin and affects the flow of Qi and Blood in the area being treated.

Most people find the gentle heating sensation of moxa treatment very pleasant.
