Hello, I'm Samantha - a registered nurse and licensed acupuncturist, and the founder of Inner Balance Acupuncture.

 

I believe good healthcare starts with being truly listened to, and my aim is always to make you feel heard, comfortable, and cared for from the moment you walk in. I've spent more than 25 years as a nurse, most of them as a Clinical Nurse Specialist in advanced kidney disease. Working so closely with people managing long-term conditions like hypertension and diabetes gave me a deep understanding of how chronic illness affects the whole person - not just physically, but emotionally too. I've also worked as a fertility nurse at a Harley Street clinic, supporting people through what can be one of life's most sensitive and hopeful journeys.

I'm a registered nurse (Adult) on the NMC register, and I hold a Licentiate Diploma in Acupuncture from the City College of Acupuncture. I'm a member of both the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) and the British Medical Acupuncture Society (BMAS), which means I'm trained in both traditional Chinese and Western medical acupuncture and can draw on whichever best suits you.

 

My heart lies in women's health. I support women through every stage — hormonal balance,
fertility, pregnancy, and menopause — as well as the wider issues that so often travel alongside them, such as migraines, stress, and disrupted sleep. Having spent much of my career in this field, I understand how deeply these things affect daily life, and how much difference feeling properly supported can make.

I also love helping people stay active and doing what they enjoy. In an area where so many of us play tennis and golf, run, or practise yoga, I treat a range of musculoskeletal concerns — from sports strains and joint pain to the everyday aches that come with an active life — helping you move more freely and recover well.
Above all, I offer a calm, unhurried space and a genuinely empathetic ear. Whatever brings you to me, you''ll be met with warmth, honesty, and care. I see patients in Gerrards Cross in
Buckinghamshire, and I'd be delighted to help you feel more like yourself again!
