About Lisa - Acupuncture Practitioner

Lisa Lee, PhD, Lic. Ac., MBAcC is a fully qualified Five-Element acupuncturist who specialises in acupuncture for anxiety and a variety of other health issues. As a Member of the British Acupuncture Council, all her treatments adhere to the highest standards of safety and competency. Lisa has extensive experience treating men, women, and children at her clinic, addressing a wide range of concerns such as reproductive health and gynaecological problems, fertility including IVF support, acute and chronic pain conditions (e.g. sports injuries, back pain, sciatica, fibromyalgia, RSI, carpal tunnel syndrome, neuralgia), general stress, panic attacks, insomnia, migraines and headaches, tinnitus, vertigo and dizziness, sensory function problems, digestive disorders, and allergies like hay fever. Before relocating to Edinburgh, Lisa practised acupuncture for several years at her clinic on Harley Street in London's medical district and in Tunbridge Wells, Kent. In addition to her private practice, Lisa was part of the specialist acupuncture support team at the Macmillan Horizon Centre in Brighton, a collaboration between Macmillan Cancer Support, the Sussex Cancer Fund, and Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust. This work allowed her to gain in-depth knowledge of the use of acupuncture for cancer patients and witness first-hand the benefits of acupuncture for those undergoing and recovering from cancer treatments, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery.

Lisa has a strong interest in the use of acupuncture for anxiety and supported for several years the work of the charity Anxiety UK, by offering therapeutic support to the charity's members as part of its partnership with the British Acupuncture Council. As a skilled Five-Element acupuncturist, she has effectively assisted clients of all ages dealing with various types of anxiety and related symptoms. The benefits of acupuncture for anxiety and the positive transformations it can bring are detailed in her article on the subject, which you can find here.

Lisa Lee is passionate about helping people with their health and wellbeing through acupuncture and everyday lifestyle choices. This passion is encapsulated in her book, The Microbiome, Gut Health and Oriental Medicine, which explores the dietary and wellness tools from both Eastern and Western Medicine that we can use to maintain a happy, healthy, and long life. Lisa has also published a series of articles in the wellness magazine Balance, explaining the various ways acupuncture and a Five-Element acupuncturist can help you. You can find her articles here. Her approach to treatment emphasises understanding the root cause of each patient’s health and wellbeing issues while establishing their goals.

Originally from New Zealand, Lisa spent her childhood there as well as in France and Switzerland, where she grew up enjoying the outdoors, and continues to go running, skiing, and mountain-biking as often as she can.
