Clark is deeply passionate about the simple, elegant way that acupuncture can help to release profound emotional and physical blocks.

Our mental health and our bodies are intimately connected, something that often gets overlooked in modern medical practice. Clark found his way to acupuncture after several years of mental health advocacy and fundraising as a volunteer for Papyrus, a suicide prevention charity.

After graduating from The College of Integrated Chinese Medicine (CICM) with a BSc (Hons) in 5 Element Integrated Acupuncture, and a diploma in Tuina Medical Massage, Clark has continued to study and integrate Applied Channel Theory into his practice.

Clark creates a safe, calm space for people to explore and release their physical and emotional symptoms, along with discussions around lifestyle, and an exploration into Qi gong exercises.

​As well as mental health, Clark also treats symptoms which may have originated from an external trauma, such as musculoskeletal pain, muscle tightness or aches and pains

Clark is a member of The British Acupuncture Council (BAcC), a first aider, and ASIST certified. He has trained in martial arts and kickboxing for over 20 years, and now enjoys training for triathlons, as well as music and playing the handpan at yoga retreats, events, and festivals
