Welcome!
Suzi Kirk, Five-Element Acupuncture and Cupping
What is Five-Element Acupuncture?
Traditional Five Element Acupuncture is a complete, holistic system of medicine that treats the whole person - the body, the mind and the spirit.
At its heart, is the Doaist philosophy that all of nature is borne and created from The Five Elements: Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal. This tradition recognises that sickness and symptoms arise when the elements fall out of balance.
Through bespoke treatments, we are able to target the root cause of imbalance and thus, promote our natural capacity to self-heal and recover. It can enable us to live the rich, full life we all deserve, with freedom and peace.
What is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping Therapy is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and dates back thousands of years. It involves the placement of glass suction cups on the skin, in order to increase blood and chi flow to a specific area of the body.
Popular among athletes, it can be wonderful to alleviate tight muscles and assist in recovery. It can also be of huge benefit for issues such as sciatica, frozen shoulder, back pain, planta fasciitis and even those suffering from long Covid.
I offer Cupping Therapy as a stand alone treatment, or as a complement to Five-Element Acupuncture depending on the nature of symptoms and the needs of the individual.
About Me!
After working as a yoga and pilates teacher for over 10 years, I was led to study Five-Element Acupuncture and then later, Fire Cupping Therapy, through my desire to delve deeper into understanding the energy body and the elements. When I discovered the work of renowned acupuncturist and fertility expert, Gerad Kite, I knew I had found my teacher and went on to study through his training school, YellowPath, through which, I gained my Licenciate of Acupuncture certification.
I have found Five-Element Acupuncture to be a lifeline in helping me overcome my own health struggles when Western medicine provided no solutions and can honestly say, it is now the cornerstone of my own self-care and self-development.
I am committed to supporting you on your own path to optimal health and self-discovery and am delighted to be able to bring this system of medicine to the community of Ware, Hertfordshire. Feel it to believe it!

Client Testimonials
"I just wanted to let you know the treatment I had on Saturday has been like a magic wand! I have felt clearer emotionally and despite more life events, I have remained with a more positive outlook. It's helping me to help myself."
"I feel more balanced in body and mind. It's like I have found a way of being me that I have never known or inhabited, like I can dare to have hopes and aspirations for myself, rather than expectations and limitations. It is quite miraculous!"
“Meeting Suzi and having Five-Element Acupuncture has been a game changer for me. I’ve got a few complex health conditions and have struggled with pain and fatigue for years and found nothing helped. After each session with Suzi I feel different - calmer, more balanced and my pain and fatigue has reduced massively. I’ve seen huge change in only 3 sessions. I would encourage everyone to try Five Elements with Suzi!”
