Jo Rochford - Acupuncture Services
I have dedicated my professional life to acupuncture and complementary therapies since 1997, specialising in family-centred healthcare from pre-conception through to paediatric and parental support. My practice is built on 19 years of clinical experience and advanced training at The College of Integrated Chinese Medicine, where I earned a Licentiate Diploma following three years of rigorous study. I prioritise evidence-based diagnostics and ethical practice, adhering strictly to the British Acupuncture Council's Code of Ethics and Practice while maintaining full professional indemnity insurance. My approach focuses on collaborative health partnerships, offering pre-treatment consultations of up to 20 minutes to ensure acupuncture is the most appropriate therapy for each patient's specific needs.I combine daytime and evening clinic hours with flexible home visit options to accommodate diverse patient schedules. My commitment to safe acupuncture is demonstrated through the use of disposable, single-use sterile needles and enhanced Criminal Records Bureau clearance. I actively pursue postgraduate training in paediatric acupuncture and gynaecological applications, ensuring my practice remains at the forefront of integrative healthcare solutions.
