About
“I couldn’t have asked, or dared to hope to feel this well. I can honestly say Steve has given me my life back.”
“Steve’s treatment has enabled me to reintegrate martial arts practice into my life after a nasty accident and dissipate the stress of a highly demanding job.”
“I have had severe pain for most of my life. Treatments with Steve have changed my life from being hell to being tolerable.”
“At 8 months pregnant I suddenly got the worst back pain I’d ever had. I had one session with Steve in which he applied hot stones massage and acupuncture and within 2 days I was completely healed. I would recommend Steve 100% to everybody.”
“Since my 1st treatment with Steve I haven’t had the need to take any pain killers at all – this is amazing!”
“Steve applied a unique acupuncture technique… boy, did it work! Steve has the skills to access your condition thoroughly. I have had acupuncture elsewhere over the years. None come close to Steve.”

I am a fully qualified and insured acupuncturist and massage therapist.
I have a 1st class (Hons) degree in acupuncture, which included the study of anatomy, physiology and pathology, enabling me to understand a wide range of Western medical conditions and how they can be treated with acupuncture. I am also the founder of Stroud Community Acupuncture. I have a diploma in therapeutic massage, I have trained in hot stones massage, structural fascial bodywork, shiatsu, and tui na (Chinese bodywork). I am environmentally and socially conscious and consider the impact that my business has on the environment.
