About Vanessa Rubio
My Background
I studied Traditional Chinese Medicine for three years at the City College of Acupuncture in London, where I completed 3,500 hours of degree-level training, including more than 400 hours of supervised clinical practice. I graduated with first-class honours before undertaking postgraduate studies in Natural and Assisted Conception, IVF, Pregnancy, Miscarriage, Menopause, PCOS and Endometriosis.
Professional Memberships
I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) and the Acupuncture Fertility Network (AFN). I regularly undertake postgraduate training to ensure my practice reflects current professional standards. I complete a minimum of 30 hours of continuing professional development (CPD) every year.
Why I Specialise in Women’s Health & Fertility
Over the years, I've developed a special interest in Women's Health & Fertility and have undertaken extensive postgraduate training in this area.
Working with women during natural conception, IVF, pregnancy and other aspects of reproductive health is one of the most rewarding parts of my work. It's a privilege to be part of what can be significant moments in people’s lives, providing compassionate care and a space where they feel listened to and cared for.
My Approach
I believe treatment begins the moment you walk into the room.
Taking the first step towards acupuncture can feel daunting, particularly if you've never had it before or you're coping with something that feels overwhelming. I understand that these can be emotional and uncertain times and I hope to provide reassurance, practical support and a safe space where you feel understood.
I take time to understand your health, your symptoms and what has brought you to acupuncture. Together, we'll discuss your medical history, lifestyle and any concerns you may have before deciding on the most appropriate approach.
Whether you're considering acupuncture for Women's Health, Fertility, Pregnancy or another health concern, my approach is always thoughtful and focused on you as an individual. Many people come to acupuncture not only because of physical symptoms, but also because they value having time to slow down, relax and focus on their wellbeing.
If you’d like to find out whether acupuncture is right for you, I'd be delighted to welcome you to my clinic in East Dulwich.
If you have any questions before booking, you're always welcome to get in touch.
