Welcome to Kalon Acupuncture

My acupuncture journey began after personally helping me with chronic health issues, debilitating physical pain and terrible anxiety. I wanted everyone to experience this powerful ancient medicine and to help to bring it to a wider Western audience. As a self-confessed skincare junkie, when I discovered Cosmetic Acupuncture and its potential for beauty treatments, it was only natural for me to take this direction combining my passions for skincare, acupuncture and natural therapies. 

I’M SOPHIE

A well-lit massage therapy room with a massage table covered with white sheets and a bolster pillow. The room features green and white walls, a wicker chair, wall lamps, and wood flooring. A small potted plant and a few cosmetic bottles are on the countertop.

I’m trained in both AcuRegen Cosmetic Acupuncture with Amanda Shayle and Facial Enhance Acupuncture with Paul Adkins and am delighted to bring their expertise to my clinic. My desire is to promote a “new”, non toxic approach to beauty and healthy ageing without invasive or chemical procedures whilst also being relaxing for the mind, body and soul and working holistically. 

I studied first in Traditional Five Element Acupuncture under Michael Baker & Paul Adkins at the International College of Acupuncture. Five Element theory is rooted in Daoist philosophy and living in tune with the laws of nature, complementing my interest in herbal medicine, holistic therapies and alternatives to Western medicine. I firmly believe in the mind/ body connection and I love five element acupuncture for its intention to realign and nourish on all three levels of the mind, body and spirit. 

Why “Kalon”

Kalon is an ancient greek word for beauty. It is the idea of a beauty that is much more than skin deep. I grew up close to the Welsh border and have Welsh family, so whilst looking for a name that was closer to my roots I discovered that in Welsh “Calon” means heart, not so much anatomically, but the inner core or spirit. The magic of acupuncture for me is not only in bringing a more youthful complexion, a calmer mind, or relief from pain, but it can bring you back to yourself in a way that I’ve not experienced with any other medicine or complementary therapy. My offerings in cosmetic and five element acupuncture seek to bring a beauty & wellbeing that is created from, and centred, within.
