Emma Gordon Stables Bio

I was drawn to acupuncture through my own health issues which inspired me to train as an acupuncturist although I actually always wanted to be a nurse but realised I didn’t like the sight of blood!  As a former Senior Flight Stewardess for an international airline, I also have personal experience of the effects of stress, jetlag and fatigue which undermined my health and ultimately lead me to acupuncture as a career.

Passionate about people, your welfare and wellbeing, I have been established as an acupuncturist and registered with the British Acupuncture Council since 2003.  Prior to this, I trained as a therapist in holistic clinical aromatherapy and therapeutic and acupressure massage, reflexology, Indian head massage and nutritional therapy. 

As an accredited acupuncturist, trained in London and China, I have extensive undergraduate and post-graduate clinical training in acupuncture and bio-medical sciences appropriate to the practice of acupuncture in the UK.   I have international experience of working with people who are physically challenged, suffering from chronic pain,  and/or stress/psychological related disorders. I have many testimonials of my successful work.

"I highly recommend Emma and her acupuncture expertise; the whole experience was relaxing, educational and produced the required results"

"Emma was exceptional.  Both my husband and I suffered from pains - one in shoulder and other in jaw and neck.  Thanks to Emma, we, especially my husband, has started his road to recovery in hopes to avoid surgery.  And we have a new found love and respect for Acupuncture.  Thank you Emma."

Altogether, my clinical experience spans 25 years.  From 1993-1999, I was formerly employed as a holistic therapist at 'The Sanctuary' in London's fashionable Convent Garden.  During 2012-14, I was contracted as a ships' Acupuncturist working all over the world on board the 'Disney Fantasy' and Holland America Line 'Zaandam' cruise ship after which I returned back to Hampshire.  

I am now based at The Lotus Flower Clinc in Over Wallop, near Stockbridge, Hampshire. 

Since 2017, I have been teaching and lecturing at the College of Naturopathic Medicine in London on the Acupuncture pathway. In 2019, I qualified as a Naturopath,  which included the study of naturopathic nutrition and detoxification, herbal medicine, homeopathy and tissue salts, iridology, Bach Flower remedies and bodywork. Simply put, a Naturopath is an educator/teacher empowering the patient to take responsibility for his/her own health.

Training


Picture
I gained a BSc Honours Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine: Acupuncture having completed a thorough 3 year training programme (1999-2002) in both Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Western medical sciences at the University of Westminster.  After graduating, I completed 170 hours of post-graduate clinical training and lectures at the Chengdu University teaching hospital of TCM in southwest China, under the supervision of licensed TCM doctors and professors.  This experience gave me a unique insight into how acupuncture is traditionally used in a Chinese hospital setting.

My training has provided me with a thorough knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pathology and medical terminology.  I am constantly refining and updating both my clinical skills and theoretical knowledge through continuing professional development.  I also hold an emergency first aid at work certificate which I regularly update.

"Neck pain is almost gone - before my neck used to pain all the time.  Very satisfied with the results - I was very sceptical of acupuncture, but it really helped me!  Emma, thank you so much."
