acupuncture
Mim Lilley
(Bsc TCM)
Chinese medicine is a remarkable philosophy and a continual source of inspiration in my life. Having gained so much for myself and my families health from this philosophy, I feel passionate about sharing this knowledge with others and supporting people on their journey to better health.
My awareness of the importance of health originated from growing up with close family members unwell. This experience sparked an interest in alternative approaches to health and wellbeing, which has become a lifelong fascination and interest. I discovered Chinese Medicine and it immediately made sense to me. I graduated from the University of Westminster London in 2009 with a Chinese Medicine Degree.
I have a specific interest in treating pain of all kinds from musculoskeletal pain to migraine headache and trigeminal neuralgia, the list goes on. I find this is an area which acupuncture treats so effectively on both a muscular and nervous system level and so I have naturally gravitated to treating pain more and more in the clinic.
As a mother to four young children, and after four home births, I have lots of first-hand experience in how to support the whole family's health. I am passionate about women's health, including menstrual disorders and pregnancy; acupuncture can be a great resource in both the preparation for birth, and the postnatal period and I run a dedicated low cost Pregnancy Clinic. . I also have a postgraduate paediatric training and love to treat children at the Blossom Tree Children’s Clinic.
I am committed to holding a gentle and healing space where people can come back to themselves and connect to a deeper sense of wellbeing.
