Naomi has a particular interest in working with fertility support and pregnancy given her own positive experiences as well as being keen to offer a safe, drug free treatment during this very special time. Naomi has spent time with the team at the antenatal acupuncture clinic at Calderdale Royal Hospital and completed additional training with professional midwife acupuncturists.

Sam has a particular interest in Oncology, specifically in helping with treatment side effects, such as treatment induced peripheral neuropathy and hormone induced hot flushes for both male and female patients. She has recently spent time with the team at The Christie in Manchester, who currently use a Research backed Acupunture protocol, for Peripheral Neuropathy.

She also visited the James Cook Hospital, Middlesbrough, and shadowed the Acupuncture team at the Trinity Holistic Centre, who succesfully used the NADA (auricular) protocol for the treatment of hormone therapy side effects such as Hot flushes and bone pain, in both men and women.
