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 training in Natural and Assisted Conception, IVF, Pregnancy, Miscarriage, Menopause, PCOS, Endometriosis and Advanced Facial Cosmetic Acupuncture.
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.
Supporting women through 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 help people through what can often be significant moments in their 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 seeking support with Women's Health, Fertility, Pregnancy or another health concern, my approach is always thoughtful and centred around helping you feel your best. 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.
