Hi, I’m Maria - offering Acupuncture for Women’s Health & Hormonal Support in Ipswich
I support women in Ipswich, Suffolk, and the surrounding areas using acupuncture to help restore hormonal balance, improve sleep, reduce stress, and support gut health.
My approach is calm, personalised, and evidence-informed, working with the body’s natural ability to rebalance and heal rather than relying on quick fixes or rigid solutions.
My Approach
Every woman’s health journey is unique, which is why a personalised approach is essential. I use acupuncture to support women’s hormonal health, sleep, and stress regulation, while taking into consideration physical, emotional, and lifestyle factors that influence wellbeing.

My Journey
From early childhood, I struggled with ongoing gut issues and frequent chest infections. Repeated courses of antibiotics were often the only option offered, but over time they became less effective and left my digestion increasingly compromised. Although these health challenges were persistent, there was little explanation or long-term support available.
As I moved through adulthood, episodes of fatigue and imbalance came and went. At 40, after welcoming my third child, everything intensified. Joint pain, brain fog, and ongoing exhaustion left me feeling disconnected from myself and unsure what was happening. Although I was told my blood tests were “normal,” I knew something wasn’t right. Was it perimenopause? Stress? Or something deeper?
That experience became a turning point. It led me to explore a more holistic understanding of women’s health, where acupuncture, nutrition, lifestyle changes, and self-care all played an important role. Gradually, my energy returned, my thinking became clearer, and I began to feel more balanced and settled again.
Motivated by my own experience, I trained in women’s health and acupuncture so I could support other women across the UK who feel unheard, dismissed, or uncertain about the changes they’re experiencing.
Today, my work is centred on acupuncture, supporting women with hormonal balance, gut health, sleep, stress, and overall wellbeing. Where appropriate, I draw on my background in nutrition and lifestyle support to complement acupuncture and encourage sustainable, long-term change.
If my story resonates with you, please know you don’t have to navigate this alone. I warmly invite you to Book your free consultation and explore how acupuncture may support your health.
