Jo Vessey

Acupuncturist

Jo our acupuncturist trained at the University of Westminster in London graduating in 1999 with a BSc in Traditional Chinese medicine: Acupuncture. After qualifying she returned to Guernsey and has been practicing at Avenue Clinic.

Jo takes a holistic approach in her treatment and focuses on the individual rather than the illness, with the aim to improve the person’s overall well being. Acupuncture is an ancient therapy based on the theory that the body depends on vital energy, known as qi, being in balance. The correct manipulation of qi can treat a range of emotional and physical conditions, such as musculo-skeletal, respiratory and circulatory, gastrointestinal, gynecological, neurological and stress-related disorders and the relief of pain and allergies.

Jo is a member of the British Acupuncture Council and you can find more information on their website www.acupuncture.org.uk or email jo@avenueclinic.co.uk

It is when this becomes unbalanced that illness may result and pain may occur. > Find out more
