Hi, I’m Claire

Claire Watkins
Acupuncturist (BSc, MBAcC)
I achieved a first class BSc Honours Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Acupuncture after four years of study at the prestigious Northern College of Acupuncture (NCA) in York.
My goal is simple, to provide expert, compassionate care that supports your health and wellbeing.
Whether you’re managing a long-term condition, recovering from an injury, navigating fertility challenges, or seeking relief from stress and fatigue, acupuncture offers a natural and effective way to make you feel your best.
Every treatment is tailored to you. By using a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnosis to address your symptoms, I also aim to resolve their root cause. Beyond your sessions, I provide follow-up care, lifestyle guidance, and Chinese Medicine diet advice to help you get the best results.
My clinic is a space where you’ll feel heard, supported, and empowered on your journey to better health.
I work with patients facing a wide range of health concerns, from chronic pain to digestive disorders, mental health struggles and oncology (cancer) patients. I also see patients struggling with Long-Covid, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME).
As a member of the Acupuncture Fertility Network (AFN), I also specialise in supporting fertility and IVF journeys.
