About Advanced Acupuncture

Expert, Transformative Acupuncture with Michelle Aris

Advanced Acupuncture operates from a clinical space in Ealing, West London. 

Founder and advanced acupuncturist Michelle Aris, LLB BSc MBA, has over 16 years of post-graduate clinical experience and training in Traditional and Classical Chinese Medicine acupuncture. 

Michelle has practised acupuncture continually since she completed her Chinese Medicine Acupuncture degree in 2007, working first at a Japanese spa near Bond Street, then at a busy clinic in Waterloo, before basing herself at her current clinic in Ealing. 

After completing a law degree and working in the legal field, Michelle was inspired to study acupuncture through her love of Chinese medicine and martial arts and the theories behind these ancient practices. 

Meet Michelle Aris of Advanced Acupuncture

Why Choose Acupuncture? 

Acupuncture works on the same principles as Qi Gong, which focuses on breath, mind and movement to direct the body’s internal energy flow. Qi Gong has multiple applications, including health, martial arts & spiritual development. It encourages the connection between mind and body for health, well-being and balance. 

The practice of acupuncture allows the practitioner to give their patient that same clear and balanced energy flow. Therapeutic acupuncture is delivered in a clinical setting rather than through the physical exercise of Qi Gong, making acupuncture a convenient, comfortable and accessible treatment option. 

Generations-Long Acupuncture Knowledge 

Advanced acupuncturist Michelle Aris feels very privileged and profoundly grateful to have accessed her deep knowledge of acupuncture through lectures presented by Dr Jeffrey Yuen, an 88th-generation lineage holder and gifted teacher on all aspects of Chinese Medicine.

As part of her life-long commitment to developing her practice of advanced acupuncture, Michelle is proud to continue the tradition of apprenticeship within Chinese medicine by completing mentorship programmes with several renowned teachers within Dr Yuen’s lineage: Ann Cecil-Sterman, Sean Tuten & Dr Hung Tran. 

These outstanding teachers strive to preserve the precious gift of Chinese Medicine in its truest form. 

The Benefits of Advanced Acupuncture 

At Advanced Acupuncture, patients seek help for life-long or chronic physical or emotional pain and other difficulties. 

Standard acupuncturists tend to focus on only 14 of the body’s channels. Michelle Aris has trained extensively to offer advanced acupuncture using all 68 channels. 

With a deep understanding of all the body’s channels, an advanced acupuncturist can treat severe physical conditions and emotional pain, use acupuncture for spiritual purposes and even work with chronic degenerative diseases. 

Contact Michelle Aris 

If you’re struggling with physical, emotional or spiritual symptoms, Advanced Acupuncture can relieve that pain and reintroduce balance and positive energy to your life.

    I had the pleasure of working with Michelle to address knee pain I was experiencing while training for the London Marathon, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Her expertise and personalised approach truly made a difference in my … More recovery journey. Not only did she alleviate my knee pain, but she also provided valuable insights and guidance on preventing future injuries. Thanks to her care, I am feeling strong and confident. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone seeking effective pain relief solutions.

    Was struggling with neck pain for over 4 years, just after few sessions felt massive improvment and pain almoust gone. Tried chiropractors, thai massage and physiotherapy before and nerly lost all hope. Brilliant service!
  • Avatar mxmorgan7 ★★★★★ 4 months ago
    Michelle is the absolute best! There are no words to describe how truly wonderful she is.
    I have had chronic pain for at least 16 years due to being hypermobile, then suffering a car accident as well as other traumas. As a physiotherapist
    … More myself I have done everything in my power to try and heal but I was only able to get temporary relief from my symptoms. I also tried osteopathy, chiropractor, CBT, deep tissue massage, gym, pilates, yoga, meditation, dietary changes and even short periods of acupuncture in the past, non of which had any lasting effect.
    Michelle has been the only one that has been able to finally relieve me of the pain and trauma that was stored deep in my tissues. For the first time in many years I no longer consider myself a ‘chronic pain patient’. I have not felt this good for years! Although, I was never limited functionally, I can now enjoy the martial arts, gymnastics and even simple sitting, without feeling the awful heavy, dragging pain that consumed the last 16 years of my life.
    Thank you Michelle - you are an angel and I hope my gratitude comes across enough!

    Michelle is an extremely gifted, and experienced acupuncturist. It was my first time having this kind of treatment and Michelle made me feel at ease.
    She was capable of finding the underlying root cause of my pain from the initial session,
    … More and I found within 3-4 sessions the kind of healing I’d been waiting for for 10-15 years. I had already tried medical solutions, physio, massage, and osteopathy and none had been a successful.
    Not only did she help with dealing with physical trauma but also psychological relationship to the pain as well as giving advice on how I could continue my healing independently.
    in addition to helping with physical pains in my neck and back she also healed symptoms I didn’t expect to be treated within the session. Bloating, hormonal pains, and leg circulation issues I was facing.
    The only regret I have is that I waited this long to have treatment and would recommend her highly to anyone seeking help with pain treatment.

    I contacted Michelle when I was struggling with my acid reflux after the standard PPI medications failed me. She examined me carefully and applied different approaches to resolve these unpleasant symptoms. She has also helped me with tracking … More down the foods that can potentially trigger these issues. I had a series of treatments which lasted about 3-4 months, but my relfux have completely resolved by now. I highly recommend her to anyone struggling with similar problems.
  • Avatar Liss Tham ★★★★★ a year ago
    Michelle has provided me with excellent acupuncture and intervention for an allergic reaction that I had developed. I suffered 6 months of acute itching and inflammation in and around my eyes, which I had not previously experienced before. … More I tried to manage this through conventional/ Western medicine to no avail.

    I contacted Michelle after I had had almost daily headaches for months. Michelle listened to me, took a lot of detailed notes about how the headaches felt, where they were, and how frequently I got them. She identified an appropriate treatment, … More and after two treatments, my headaches were gone. She helped relax the muscles and nerves that affected my headaches, which released the tension. Michelle is very attentive and offers personalised treatments. She gives great advice about food, sleep, and exercise as well.
    I highly recommend Michelle!
  • Avatar Mark Shiels ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    Michelle is an absolute gem. She has helped me with an old neck injury that was causing me quite a bit of stress. Her ability to listen and understand my issue and to select the best treatment for me was great. Thank you so much Michelle … More
  • Avatar Wren Lou ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    This is the first time that I have received acupuncture, and I was quite nervous, but I have now been seeing Michelle for about 8 months. She has treated me for anxiety and depression, but also for general muscular aches and pains. Michelle … More is a highly skilled acupuncturist with a kind and attentive attitude towards her clients. She works first by listening to find the best form of treatment, so I never had two sessions that were the same! She is also a very gentle person who is down-to-earth and lovely to speak to. I would not hesitate to recommend Michelle to any of my friends or family, and I encourage anyone who is feeling apprehensive about acupuncture to see her - she is great at explaining what she is doing and how it can be helpful. Thanks, Michelle!

    Michelle the magician. I first attended back in 2019 and I had the best experience ever. Her acupuncture technique is so unique unlike none other I have ever had before.
    I came back just a few months ago, after each session I feel like
    … More a new person and the issues I went in with have been relieved. She is most caring and really listens to what I have to say and my feelings. She also understands the body and her knowledge is better than any doctor I have ever been to. I highly recommend Michelle. Give her a try and a guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
  • Avatar SC Lourie ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    Michelle’s level of acupuncture is unparalleled in my experience. She has a subtle and non-intrusive way of working where she gets beyond the symptom, often to the root of the problem. Her presence is reassuring, thoughtful and gentle. … More And her sessions have been incredibly supportive and I would say fundamental to my healing journey. She is a rarity and I feel fortunate to have come across her work. I imagine you will be amazed too.
  • Avatar Peter Mieszkowski ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    Having suffered with neck pain for many years I had visited a chiropractor and several osteopaths over the years in an attempt to resolve the issue, sadly little improvement was seen. I decided to try Acupuncture and have been treated by … More Michelle several times now and the improvement in my neck has been slow, sure and impressive. We're not at the end of the journey but well on the way. I would recommend Michelle without hesitation.
  • Avatar Julian Matthews ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    So far I have had three sessions with Michelle and I can honestly say that it has changed my life. I have had shoulder/back pain for many years and have had different treatments from chiropractors and physiotherapists but none have been … More as effective as Michelle's. She also cares deeply about her clients all-round well-being and offers insights and links to resources to help us cope with the demands our our busy London lives. Would highly recommend to anyone and very much looking forward to my next visit!
  • Avatar ANAMI London ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    Michelle is absolutely amazing! Very skilled! Thanks to her my life and health transformed to so much better. She’s so gifted and knowledgeable and makes such huge impact in my wellbeing. I definitely recommend!
  • Avatar Afrina Ranjha ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    I found Ealing Advanced Acupuncture online after a bad experience with a different Acupuncturist. After having taken several sessions I can hand on my heart say that Michelle is one of the most wonderful people I have ever met - she is … More very empathetic and I truly felt at ease with her straight away. After my first session, I felt an instant difference and ease of my symptoms. Every session to follow further improved my condition. She is one of the few professionals that actually take the time (and heart) to listen, analyse and adapt/personalise their service to their clients. She is extremely knowledgeable, kind and calming and has a tranquil nature yet confident manner which holistically helped me heal. I have no doubt I'll be returning one day soon - thank you Michelle!
  • Avatar Roz Price ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    Michelle is brilliant! At my first session I was very apprehensive of the idea of having needles inserted, but her gentle reassuring manner and in depth knowledge of the subject put me at ease. From the first session I started to feel better, … More but it does take a while for the full impact of the acupuncture to take effect, so one needs to be patient. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
