Acupuncture with Pouyan Salimian

Lic.Ac. BSc (Hons) BAA, AAC, ITEC

Acupuncturist and Massage Therapist, Pouyan Salimian

Welcome to my practice, where I offer a unique blend of ancient Eastern wisdom and modern Western knowledge to promote holistic well-being. I'm excited to share my journey and expertise with you.

Exploring the Healing Arts of the Far East

In 2004, my path led me to explore the healing arts of the Far East. I completed an MA in Oriental studies (Japanese) at the University of Venice, followed by a transformative year living and studying in Osaka, Japan. This experience deepened my appreciation for Eastern cultures from a unique perspective, particularly their holistic approach to well-being.

My connection to healing began early in life, influenced by a family tradition of holistic well-being. This upbringing instilled in me a profound fascination with the intricate relationship between the body and mind and the ways we can empower ourselves to achieve optimal health and realize our full potential as human beings.

My journey into healing took various forms, starting with meditation and later evolving into a deep passion for yoga. Nearly a decade ago, I completed my yoga teacher training, which became a pivotal moment in my personal and professional development. Following this, I spent four transformative months in northern Thailand immersing myself in the study of Thai healing arts.

Acupuncture and Holistic Care

Today, I am a dedicated and fully qualified acupuncturist specializing in Classical Chinese Acupuncture. I'm proud to be a full member of both the Association of Acupuncture Clinicians (AAC) and the British Acupuncture Association (BAA). Additionally, I am a part of the Fertility Support Network, reflecting my commitment to providing holistic care.

My education in acupuncture took place at the International College of Oriental Medicine (ICOM), the oldest acupuncture college in the UK. I earned a BSc (Hons) in Integrated Western Medicine and Classical Chinese Acupuncture, a testament to my dedication to combining the best of both worlds in my practice. I continue to pursue ongoing professional development through workshops and postgraduate courses, enhancing my expertise in areas such as acupuncture for infertility and IVF support, gynecological conditions, musculoskeletal issues, and Japanese acupuncture techniques.

Integrated Approaches and Specialized Treatments

In my practice, I offer a range of traditional acupuncture treatments, including cupping therapy, gua sha, moxibustion, and massage when appropriate. I am also skilled in cosmetic acupuncture, a technique that promotes facial rejuvenation. What sets my approach apart is my commitment to taking an integrated, holistic perspective. During our consultations, I consider the whole person, gaining a comprehensive understanding that guides our treatment.

Specialized Treatments for TMJ and Vocal Enhancement

Acupuncture and Massage for TMJ Issues: I provide specialized treatment for Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) issues, a condition causing jaw discomfort. Through acupuncture and massage therapy, I alleviate TMJ pain, tension, and discomfort, improving jaw function and overall well-being.

Vocal Acupuncture and Massage for Voice Users: As a vocal acupuncturist and massage practitioner, I support singers, actors, and voice users. These treatments focus on relaxation, reducing vocal strain, and optimizing vocal function to enhance performance and expression.

 

 

At the core of my practice is a commitment to helping you achieve balance, vitality, and overall well-being. Whether you seek acupuncture, massage, or one of my specialized treatments, I am here to support your journey to wellness. Thank you for considering me as your partner in this endeavor.
