Coronavirus update

Due to recent developments, The British Acupuncture Council are now advising acupuncturists to suspend all acupuncture treatment until further notice. 

It is with great sadness that we have decided to temporarily close all of our clinics. Many of our patients have expressed that they need our help now more than ever. Acupuncture has been shown to strengthen the immune system as well as reducing stress and anxiety. However given the escalation of the situation in the UK and across the world we feel that temporary cessation of treatment is the only sensible response to help stop the spread of the virus and save lives. 

Nobody knows how long these measures will have to be in place for, but we will keep you updated as the situation progresses.

Our thoughts are with those who are ill and those most vulnerable in our society.

Every one of us is struggling to come to terms with the shock of the situation and the uncertainty of what lies ahead. A crisis can also present us with the opportunity to re-evaluate what is truly important. We’re already starting to see communities coming together to support each other like never before. 

We are still available via phone and email. Please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns or if you are in need of support or guidance. 

With love,

Gabriella and Michael
(Directors of FEAT)

School Open Day March 7th 2020

On March 7th we're holding an open day for our September 2020 intake.

We'll be giving an introduction to Five Element Acupuncture as well as showing you some practical exercises for developing your senses. Most of our training is practice based right from the start.

For example, the best way to learn about the subtle colouring on the patient's face and what it means, is to see it on actual people.

So if you're looking for a university style course where you write a lot of essays about research methods and the history of acupuncture then this might not be right for you.

But if you're looking for a practical apprenticeship that gives you everything you need to excel as a Five Element Acupuncturist and have a successful career, then our training might be just what you're looking for.

During the open evening we also talk about the course structure and you'll get the chance to ask questions and talk to current and past students.

When: Saturday 7th March, 9.00am - 12.00 noon.
Where: FEAT West, Maida Vale, London W9

To reserve your place at the open evening, click here:

The event is free to attend, but we require a £25 deposit to secure your place.

Michael Arnold Lic Ac. Co-founder of FEAT

Hi I’m Michael Arnold. For the last 15 years I’ve dedicated myself to the practice and teaching of Five Element Acupuncture.

"Can you make a living out of acupuncture? Does it even work?"

These were my dad’s words when I told him I’d decided to study acupuncture. My dad is a doctor and can be very sceptical of anything he can’t measure or quantify. So confronting him with the fact that I wanted to be an acupuncturist was not an easy task.

In reality his response was just his way of showing her cared for me. He didn’t want me to go through the pain of making the wrong choice

When you make a decision to study something like acupuncture it can feel like a lonely path sometimes. There are a lot of people who either don’t understand what acupuncture is or who just don’t believe it works.

Incidentally, my dad is now a raving fan of acupuncture, having experienced what it can do first hand. But that’s another story.

There is a song by Supertramp called the Logical song. You might be able to relate to the lyrics:

"When I was young it seemed that life was so wonderful, a miracle.
Oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees well they'd be singing so happily, oh joyfully. 
Oh playfully, watching me.

But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible, logical. 
Oh responsible, practical.
And then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
oh clinical, intellectual, cynical."

Maybe you know you don't fit into this mad world. This world of order and logic and reason. 

For a long time you might even have believed that you were the mad one.

"There is no political solution"

“There is no political solution
To our troubled evolution
Have no faith in constitution
There is no bloody revolution
We are spirits in the material world”

The Police wrote this song back in 1981 but it is as relevant today as ever.

It’s so easy to feel disillusioned with the state of the world.

- Climate change out of control
- Corrupt politicians
- Corporate greed

We definitely need people fighting for our rights and campaigning for a better future.

But nothing changes in the world unless individuals change from within.

Climate change is a great example. Mass destruction of the planet only happens because we have forgotten that we are one with nature.

When I first had Five Element Acupuncture, the challenges of life had pushed me to numb my emotions. The treatment put me back in touch with a deep part of myself that I had almost forgotten.

This is hard to put into words but it’s why our patients like Hana Yacoub say things like:

“Acupuncture is not an alternative medication, it is a discovery of the power within”

Five Element Acupuncture actually comes from Japan and Korea and escaped the cultural revolution in China. For this reason it retains the original spiritual roots of acupuncture and the ancient Daoist wisdom. It recognises that if you help people to reconnect with the peace within, you create the conditions for true healing to occur. Western science is catching up with this too now and acknowledges that most chronic illness is linked to stress.

What's more, healing on a global level has to start with each of us as individuals.

We’re looking for the next generation of Five Element Acupuncturists to keep this medicine thriving. It’s not for everyone. For a start you need to be prepared to look deep into yourself. If we want to help people transform spiritually we have to do the work ourselves.

But if this sounds like an exciting challenge then becoming a Five Element Acupuncturist could be one of the best decisions you ever make. It certainly was for me.

We’re holding an open evening for our next Apprenticeship in Five Element Acupuncture.

You’ll receive an introductory lesson so you can find out about our experiential approach. You’ll also get the chance to ask any questions and talk to current and past students.

Where: Maida Vale, London W9
