About Josephine Haworth
Josephine Haworth is an acupuncture specialist with over 30 years of experience, bringing a deep knowledge of Japanese acupuncture traditions to her practice. She is a member of both the British Acupuncture Council and the UK Branch of the Toyohari Association, reflecting her commitment to rigorous, evidence-based practice.
Josephine offers a range of acupuncture approaches, including traditional acupuncture, Japanese acupuncture using the subtle Toyohari method with very thin gauge needles, and specialised techniques such as Shonishin, the non-invasive paediatric form of Japanese acupuncture. She also practises Manaka's Yin Yang Balancing System, which incorporates modern scientific principles, and uses moxibustion—a time-honoured Japanese herbal therapy derived from Artemesia Vulgaris. For those seeking aesthetic benefits, she offers cosmetic acupuncture for facial rejuvenation as a non-invasive approach to easing wrinkles and freshening the skin.
Beyond needle-based therapies, Josephine provides Western herbal medicine consultations and Kampo herbal medicine, offered in palatable powder form. She also teaches movement and mindfulness practices including yin yoga and tai chi classes, creating a holistic approach to wellbeing.
Whether you're seeking relief from specific health concerns, preventative care, or natural approaches to skin vitality, Josephine combines traditional wisdom with contemporary understanding to support your health journey.
