acupuncture
Mim Lilley
(Bsc TCM)
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, and in 2002 I travelled to India where I studied Ayurvedic medicine, massage and yoga. On return to England, I decided to have acupuncture treatments for a health problem at the time and the results were incredible. I began reading about Chinese Medicine and the way they view the body and health made so much sense to me, it felt like this was the thing I had been searching for. I decided to do a degree in Chinese Medicine at the University of Westminster in London and I graduated in 2009.
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.
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. I have a postgraduate paediatric training and love to treat children at the Blossom Tree Children’s Clinic.
Another area of my expertise is the Chinese Medicine approach to diet, nutrition and cooking. I find that integrating dietary advice into treatments allows patients to be more actively empowered in their own healing.
I am a very intuitive person and 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.
