Deb and Al

Deb and Al are fully qualified and licensed Acupuncturists in Bristol. We are both members of the British Acupuncture Council. In our practice we treat all kinds of physical illnesses and offer a specialist service for people with stress, anxiety, depression, panic attacks and emotional difficulties. We have undergone further training in fertility acupuncture and often have photos sent to us of babies who, we believe, we have had a small  helping hand in getting here . We  met at Acupuncture College and are now married with kids.
