Your health deserves depth of expertise

In the UK, anyone can legally purchase needles and call themselves an acupuncturist after a two-day short course. When you are struggling with complex, chronic internal health issues, the depth of your practitioner’s medical training really matters.

I am Ruth Irving, a degree-level trained clinician and the founder of Carlisle Therapies established in 2012 as a premium professional space for independent specialists.

As a registered member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) since 2007, I completed over 3,600 hours of clinical training. By blending deep traditional medicine Chinese diagnostics with modern anatomical science, I treat the root causes of your symptoms within a clinical environment.
