Julia Biggs BSc(Hons) LicAc MBAcC
Born in London, Julia was educated at St Martin-in-the-Fields High School and went on to graduate from London University with a BSc Honours Degree in Psychology.
On leaving University, Julia became an advertising copywriter, working first in London agencies, and then setting up her own successful freelance copywriting business, working for clients such as Sainsburys and Toshiba computers. After 20 years’ copywriting, Julia felt the need to do something that was not only more satisfying on personal level, but which also contributes positively to the well-being of the community. Having had acupuncture herself for many years and experiencing first-hand the profound changes it can make to health and life, Julia switched track and completed a full-time 3-year course at the UK’s leading acupuncture college – the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading, Berkshire.
Julia practises an integrated approach, combining two styles of acupuncture: Five Element and TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). This provides a thorough understanding of the whole range of conditions which may be affecting any individual, whether physical, emotional or spiritual. This is how acupuncture treats the whole person, not just a presenting symptom.
The goal is always to treat the root cause of ill health rather than suppressing the manifestation of the problem. Through effective diagnosis and treatment of the root cause, long-lasting relief from presenting symptoms is provided.
Julia is a member of The British Acupuncture Council and has full professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover. BAcC members have an extensive training in acupuncture, anatomy and physiology and biomedical sciences appropriate to the practice of acupuncture in the UK.
British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) members observe the Code of Safe Practice which lays down stringent standards of hygiene and sterilisation for all equipment. Members use high-quality pre-sterilised needles which are disposed of after each treatment.
Note: Heather Campbell Lic.Ac is currently covering all the acupuncture patients at the Walsingham Clinic. Like Julia Heather also practices Five Element acupuncture.
