Five Element Acupuncture

Louise Webster Lic.Ac. MBAcC

About me


In 1998, following a shoulder injury and subsequent related problems, Louise gave up her career as a professional musician and shortly after decided to work to help others through natural and holistic therapies, having explored many different avenues for her own issues.

After training as a Reflexologist and Sports Massage Therapist, and helping many athletes, dancers and musicians with repetitive strain injuries, she graduated from the School of Five Element Acupuncture, London in 2004.

Louise is also a qualified yoga teacher, has trained extensively in nutritional therapy, and has committed her skills and energy to helping people through her practice ever since.

Louise enjoys spending time in nature, reading widely and attending continuing professional development trainings, constantly updating her knowledge and experience around physical, mental and spiritual health and well-being.
