About the Business
My name is Anne Etherton. My house and practice is situated in Sutton Bonington, a small village a few miles off the A6, between Loughborough and Kegworth. I am married and have a daughter.
I was born in Gloucestershire in the early '60s, and grew up there. I attended university in Bristol, where I read Microbiology. After completing my degree, I worked in public health and the food industry. I worked in industry for 13 years before deciding to study Acupuncture. I first met Acupuncture in 1986 when talking to the mother of a friend of mine who was an Acupuncturist.
I found the subject fascinating because it treated the person as a whole and it was a method of improving health without using drugs. I studied for 4 years at the Northern College of Acupuncture in York, and qualified in 1999 with a Diploma of Acupuncture and a Master of Science from the University of Wales. My MSc was about atopic asthma and how this is understood in Chinese medicine. I am a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a system of healing, which has been used in China and the East for several thousand years. It uses a holistic approach, which focuses on improving the overall well being of the patient rather than the isolated treatment of specific symptoms.
It involves the insertion of needles into certain acupuncture points to rebalance the energy to allow energy to flow evenly around the body.
