About

The name Rose Acupuncture is a dedication to the beautiful souls I lost in Utero whose presence has brought me great learning and wisdom.

In Chinese medicine, the rose (mei gua hua) is linked to the heart meridian, which is also known as the house of the Shen, or mind. The rose petals medicinal properties assist with opening up a heart that has closed emotionally and spiritually; as well as having qualities that can assist physically, for instance regulating menstruation and managing anxiety and palpitations.

My Story

Nicola Booth-Jones - MBAcC, AFN, Lic.Ac, Lic. Tui na, Dip Nat, LLM, LLB

I began my training in Chinese medicine and naturopathy with a five year part time course in Acupuncture at the College of Naturopathic Medicine in London. Following qualification, I attended the University of Nanjing, China for further clinical training and observation.

I previously trained as a solicitor and have a first class masters in law. I also completed a legal internship at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda in Tanzania.

My passion for Chinese medicine and acupuncture began when I experienced fertility issues. The difference that acupuncture made to me on my own fertility journey (one that spans almost 9 years) means that I am now proud to be able to use these same tools to assist in the care of others.

I am blessed to be a busy working Mummy and in my spare time, you can find me walking by the sea with my son, daughter and chocolate lab, Rudy.

I have a strong belief in continuing professional and personal development. I have completed specialist training with the Association of Naturopaths (ANP) and the Acupuncture Fertility Network (AFN) and I am a member of the regulatory body of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) and now have a diploma in Tui na (Chinese Medicial Massage).
