Jo Darling Acupuncture In Brighton

Experienced Acupuncturist, Effective Acupuncture Treatment in Brighton & Hove

About Jo Darling MBAcC

I’m an experienced Acupuncturist, passionate about helping you live a healthier, happier life. I love what I do at my Brighton & Hove acupuncture practice and have specialist interests in using acupuncture to assist fertility, to support cancer patients and pregnancy niggles as well as acupuncture to help women through menopause and for pain relief

I practice from my home Preston Park acupuncture clinic offering personalised, professional care, using acupuncture, moxa, cupping and electro-acupuncture where appropriate. I have also practiced Reflexology since 2006 and offer combined ‘Acureflex’ treatments – a wonderful combination of the wisdom of acupuncture and the soothing touch of reflexology.

Although I specialise in fertility, cancer, menopause & pain relief support and women's health, I can effectively use acupuncture to help you with a wide range of health issues, from hay fever and arthritis, to eczema and sleep problems.
