Kim Kakebe

Traditional Acupuncturist
BSc(Hons) LicAC MBAcc DipTN

As a Traditional Acupuncturist, Kim helps people to counter the problems and imbalances that our busy lives can create. Everyone handles stress differently; for some this may manifest as digestive issues or difficulty sleeping, for others it may be headaches, a sore back, high blood pressure or perhaps just that sense of feeling below par.

Kim believes health is more than the mere absence of disease and is also about the quality of life. The aim is to help you feel in greater control of your health goals and to make the best of your current circumstances.

Training and interests include a combination of TCM and 5-element styles of acupuncture, which can be combined with Tui Na (remedial Chinese) massage. Kim also trained in a Japanese style of acupuncture called Toyohari – in this system very fine needles or sterling silver tools are used to make contact with the skin but are generally not inserted. Adjunct therapies including small magnetic pellets, warming moxa and other tools are also used.

Kim also volunteered for seven years as the resident acupuncturist at Terrence Higgins Trust in Bristol, treating patients with complex health issues.

Kim is a member of the British Acupuncture Council and adheres fully to its Code of Safe Practice and Professional Conduct, and is licensed and fully insured.
