Treatment Philosophy Emily believes that each person’s health journey is unique. Her treatments begin with a thorough consultation where she listens carefully to concerns, health history and wellness goals. This personalised approach allows her to develop targeted acupuncture protocols that address both immediate symptoms and underlying imbalances, promoting deep healing and lasting wellness.

Stems and Branches theory focuses on cycles and transformations of QI that impact individuals both internally and externally. Ancient Chinese observers noted nature’s cycles, like day and night and changing seasons then connected them to health, a change in one part affects the whole. Key concepts include the duality of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements which are essential in various acupuncture approaches. Stems and Branches acupuncture enables a practitioner to work with natural rhythms and the individual’s constitutional strengths and weaknesses for better patient health. The aim of treatment is to address the root cause of symptoms. Now exclusively at VitaliQi Holistic Health Clinic in Barnstaple, Emily combines evidence-based acupuncture with compassionate care, empowering clients to achieve balance and vitality. For a personalised treatment plan, book a consultation at VitaliQi Clinic, where ancient wisdom meets modern wellbeing.

About Nutritional Therapy

Nutritional therapy is so much more than just eating well. A good diet is the foundation, but true health goes deeper. It’s about understanding how the body’s biochemical pathways interact, what nutrients fuel those processes, and how they influence other factors like sleep, mood, energy and resilience. At the heart of it all is the gut microbiome - your body’s central hub for overall well-being. It isn’t about restrictions or quick fixes. It’s about building a nourishing and sustainable way of life that works for you. Practical changes that fit into your routine, so you feel better not just for now, but for the long run. One-to-one support means you won’t be doing this alone. I’ll guide you and hold you accountable so that progress keeps happening - even when life get busy. And we’ll always go at a pace that feels right for you.

Hazel is a Registered Nutritional Therapist DipION, mBANT, regCNHC.

Our understanding of the human body is constantly evolving, especially in the areas I’m most passionate about: hormones, brain health and the gut microbiome. Health is complex - tug on one thread, and you’ll find it’s connected to everything else. With a balance of science and over 20 years of experience, I’ll help you uncover what’s really going on in your body and how to support it in a way that feels natural and sustainable.
