Member of BACC and RCHM.
I’m Nick Lutyens-Humfrey, and I practise Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine and Acupressure Massage. I gained all my qualifications from the Northern College of Acupuncture in York. I have an MSc in Acupuncture, accredited by the University of Wales, and in 2001 gained my Diploma in Acupuncture and MSc in Acupuncture. In 2005 I received my Diploma in Chinese Herbal Medicine, and got my certificate in Massage and Acupressure in 1998. Over the years I have also attended a number of courses and seminars to maintain my continual professional development.
How I work
I start with a consultation about the specific condition and other background health issues. I usually also look at the patient’s tongue and feel their pulse (Chinese tongue and pulse diagnosis). I enquire about biomedical diagnosis, treatment and medication or other supplements. I often ask about diet and lifestyle, and from this I make a diagnosis in terms of Traditional Chinese Medicine and decide on a course of treatment, using acupuncture, Chinese herbs or other associated techniques. I also may give diet and lifestyle advice. Usually a course of treatment is required depending on the type of condition and severity/ duration.
My charges
Acupuncture £45 1st consultation (1 ½ hrs) & treatment, £35 subsequent (1 hour)
Acupressure massage £40 1 hour appointment, £20 half hour appointment
Herbs £35 1st consultation (1 hour) , £25 subsequent (1/2 hour), not including cost of herbs which varies according to product, but 100g concentrated powders approx £25.
About me…
I am enthusiastic about the benefits of acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine as well as massage, and keen to help people get better and improve their lifestyles.
I have been fortunate to train with many very wise and experienced colleagues. I can treat a great range of different patients of many ages and conditions, through the combination of acupuncture and Chinese herbs and acupressure massage, which complement each other.
