We are an Acupuncture Clinic based in Morpeth, Northumberland. Acupuncture supports the body’s natural healing ability, improving circulation, reducing pain, and calming the nervous system.

I treat a wide range of health issues, from acupuncture for chronic pain and muscular aches, arthritis, skin, digestive, heart and respiratory issues to chronic fatigue, fertility and IVF support. I also treat the effects of cancer treatment, menopausal symptoms, insomnia, anxiety, and mental health. Choose a gentle and natural approach to health with Jo Mac.
Your journey to health
90-min initial consultation and treatment
Take your time to tell me your health concerns and receive a relaxing first acupuncture treatment and a clear care pathway ahead.
Acupuncture for You
Each follow-up treatment is designed to restore your body and mind, easing pain and relieving stress. Along with acupuncture, you receive supporting therapies and lifestyle advice, such as nutritional guidance and acupressure techniques.
Acupuncture MOT
Why leave it until you feel awful to visit the clinic? Lovingly termed your ‘Acupuncture MOT’, preventive healthcare with regular acupuncture helps to avoid chronic pain and unmanageable health issues.
What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is the insertion of very fine, sterile needles throughout the meridians of the body to restore balance and improve energy flow and vitality. Modern research suggests that acupuncture influences the nervous system, enhances circulation, and releases endorphins, which help to reduce pain, calm the mind, and support overall well-being. A deeply relaxing and restorative experience, it addresses not only presenting symptoms but their root cause. Simply put, it reminds the body of its natural ability to heal.
What to expect
After a warm welcome, your first appointment begins with an in-depth consultation. We will explore your health concerns and observe pulse and tongue before curating an individualised acupuncture treatment. You’ll then enter the treatment sanctuary and relax on a heated bed to receive your first acupuncture. At the end of your first session, you’ll be given some natural healthcare advice and a clear care pathway ahead. Consultation and treatment last approximately 1.5 hours.
Follow-up treatments include a shorter consultation followed by acupuncture. I may also include complementary therapies such as cupping or electroacupuncture. These are 1 hour in duration. Once your specific health concerns are alleviated, preventative healthcare is offered to tonify and nourish the body, supporting longevity.
Concerns
Acupuncture
Acupuncture has been practised for thousands of years, with many of its core principles outlined in the Huangdi Neijing. This ancient text explains how health depends on the smooth flow of Qi through the body’s meridian pathways.
Acupuncture for Pain
Evidence supports the use of acupuncture for pain relief, reducing inflammation, increasing circulation, and supporting the body’s natural healing process.
Acupuncture for Mental Health
Acupuncture supports clearer thinking, improved mood, and a greater sense of peace. Whether you’re looking for relief from stress, anxiety, mood changes, or simply want to feel more centred, I offer acupuncture as a supportive path toward emotional wellness.
Acupuncture for Fertility
Acupuncture can play an important role in regulating hormones. By stimulating specific points on the body, I work to encourage natural hormone production and balance, which can support regular menstrual cycles, ovulation, and even sperm health.
Acupuncture for Hormonal Health
Acupuncture can help calm hot flushes, improve sleep, and steady mood shifts by soothing the nervous system and supporting a smoother hormonal transition.
Acupuncture in Pregnancy
Acupuncture may help reduce nausea and morning sickness, ease back pain and pelvic discomfort, improve digestion, and support better sleep. It may also help manage stress and anxiety, helping you feel calmer and more relaxed throughout your pregnancy.
Acupuncture for Cancer Care
Acupuncture can provide gentle relief from nausea, pain, fatigue, and anxiety, helping you feel more comfortable throughout your treatment journey. I also use ear acupuncture and ear seeds to help manage specific symptoms such as hot flushes, which are common during hormonal changes or certain cancer therapies.
Cosmetic Acupuncture
Often referred to as “the natural version of Botox”, cosmetic acupuncture offers so much more than temporary smoothing of wrinkles because it treats the root cause of skin issues for lasting results.
