My name is Madeleine and I am a fully qualified, traditional acupuncturist working from a quiet and relaxing clinic, The Balance Rooms, in Pickering town centre.
I graduated from The Acupuncture Academy in 2023 and was awarded a Distinction for my Professional Licentiate in Acupuncture, which is a three year degree qualification accredited by the British Acupuncture Accreditation Board. I was also highly commended for my clinical work. My training was extensive and covered all aspects of Chinese medical and acupuncture theory, with a focus on the five element approach. This means that I will consider your main health problem, together with a holistic approach to you as an individual.
I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council and adhere to the Council’s Codes of Safe Practice and Professional conduct. British Acupuncture Council members are also registered with the Professional Standards Authority which is a government body set up to regulate health and social care providers, and is accountable to Parliament.
My clinic is licensed by North Yorkshire Council and I hold full medical malpractice and public/products liability insurance cover.

And finally, there is also my Facebook page that you could Like, and follow – Églantine Acupuncture.
Why Églantine Acupuncture?
The symbolic meaning of the églantine or wild rose is ‘I wound to heal’. Its name comes from the old French word for needle.
It has personal significance as French has been a big part of my life. My first degree was in French and German and I used to be a modern languages teacher. I am proud to have French ancestors. The églantine also appears in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and featured in the early modern herbals I used to work with as part of my old career running the public service of the second largest Shakespeare library in the world.
Finally the églantine has five petals, representing the Five Elements!
With thanks to Richard Morris for the banner photo of an eglantine.
