Karen Costin Lic.Ac.M.B.Ac.C.

Karen began her practice 18 years ago after training under the guidance of Professor J.R. Worsley, the world-renowned professor of 5 Element Acupuncture. During this time Karen has successfully treated many patients with women’s health issues, including menstrual, fertility and menopausal disorders.

Karen works primarily with women who are either pregnant, or trying to get pregnant and finding it difficult to conceive. Using 5 Element Acupuncture, she has helped women to overcome PCOS, endometriosis, blocked tubes and unexplained infertility to go on to conceive either naturally, or with the help of fertility treatments.

In addition she has worked with many patients during pregnancy to reduce anxiety, blood pressure and generally improve the wellbeing of the body during this potentially stressful process.  Karen regularly assists women in labour, reducing the pain and encouraging them to empower themselves during the birth process. She has also assisted in home and hospital deliveries.

In addition, she works with patients on post-natal care, including the treatment of depression, assisting lactation and exhaustion.

Karen is a member of the British Acupuncture Council.
