Her Practice
In her practice, Paula is a fertility Acupuncture specialist working with patients from all of the local fertility clinics.
Paula has helped many patients prepare for IVF, IUI, ICSI, and has provided support for fertility issues and natural conception. She is proud and honoured to have played a part in the conception and birth of many babies following her treatment. When an acupuncture student asked Paula why she chose to specialise in fertility, she answered that she believed the specialisation chose her, not the other way around.
Paula has recently been asked to help teach fertility for the acupuncture school she trained with. She says “I am very proud to have been asked to take this step up in my career and to help to develop future TCM practitioners”.

Personal Note from Paula:
“The reason I chose acupuncture as a profession is the incredible feeling of making a person’s life healthier and happier. There is no better feeling than seeing someone who walks into my clinic broken and downhearted, to seeing them walk out again feeling like a different person and knowing that I did that! I truly love what I do and feel grateful to be able to enjoy my job every day. As the saying goes ‘if you do something you love you will never work a day in your life’. I also thrive on the challenges it brings to learn and discover just how powerful TCM can be”
Paula’s Mission
“My mission is to care for you and share my knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine and my passion for good health to provide the highest quality of patient care that I can. I want to spread the word far and wide about how acupuncture can treat almost any issue. I sincerely look forward to meeting you and working with you to reach your optimal health goals”
Who is Peter Dean?
Peter Dean is a graduate of the Total Therapy Training College. Here he studied Tuina Medical Massage and Gua Sha. He became interested in all things Chinese therapy when Paula started her business. Over the years he has seen how these therapies can help people and has been treated many times by TCM Practitioners, particularly with Tuina. Paula was unable to learn Tuina because of her Rheumatoid arthritis in her hands so Pete suggested they could work together and so he completed the course a couple of years ago. Peter and Paula will often ‘tag team’ patients using their skillsets to get the best outcome for you.
Peter has many hobbies including woodturning, gaming, archery, running, and going to the gym. He is a big family man and loves spending time with his family especially going on holiday with them.
What to Expect
When you come for a treatment with Peter you can expect a brew and a calm atmosphere of healing, he will lead you through the treatment ensuring at all times that he is working within your levels to give a strong but comfortable treatment for you. Everyone is different so it is important with Tuina that you are in full control of this.
