Vida Woods

Vida has been an acupuncturist for over ten years, graduating with a 1st degree from one of the top acupuncture institutions in Europe. She uses many modalities including 5 Element, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Shonishin (Japanese needle-free technique for children).

Vida completed a diploma in paediatric acupuncture and regularly partakes in professional development in her speciality of treating babies, children and teens. This form of medicine supports wellbeing, treats acute and chronic conditions; can be used alongside conventional medicine and helps to restore balance.

Vida also treats individuals going through infertility challenges and during pregnancy.

Forming a bond with the mother is a lovely way to start a child’s acupuncture journey, as there is already that much needed element of trust. The word “needles” can put parents off immediately however, Vida uses a large variety of needle free techniques. Treatment focus on the whole child, not just their symptoms and each session is specifically tailored to suit their needs at that time.

Vida has her own experience of being mum to a child with a chronic condition that can also become acute without notice. Acupuncture has helped her son immeasurably and she knows with certainty that he wouldn’t be the person he is today without it. Vida is here to listen to you as a parent as well, to be that support as you ride the waves.

Vida is more than happy to have a chat to see whether acupuncture is the right choice for your child. No question is too silly or small, she’d love to hear from you!
