I’m Maria Rossi, the practitioner behind MARIAcupuncture. I completed three and a half years of training at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading and am a fully qualified and licensed Integrated Traditional Chinese Medicine and 5-Element Acupuncturist. I’m also a member of the British Acupuncture Council, committed to maintaining the highest standards of professional practice and patient care.

My practice is rooted in the traditional principles of Chinese Medicine and Five-Element Acupuncture. I work with people seeking acupuncture for a variety of reasons, including pain, stress, tension, digestive issues, sleep difficulties and general wellbeing. I have also undertaken postgraduate training in fertility, gynaecology and obstetrics.
