About Kate

Kate Sleeman, BSc (Hons), AAC, BAF

TCM Acupuncturist & Reiki Therapist

I’m a traditional acupuncturist which means I use acupuncture to treat symptoms of the mind, body & spirit based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory. I’m a member of the Association of Acupuncture Clinicians (AAC) and a British Acupuncture Federation (BAF) registrant.

Expertise

In 2012 I graduated from Leeds Beckett University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Acupuncture. Since graduating I have worked in private practice in various settings, including a multi-bed acupuncture clinic and physiotherapy practice.

I have experience of treating a wide range of health issues and have a particular interest in stress management, burnout, migraines and women’s health.

I am committed to undertaking ongoing training and have recently attended the following courses and workshops:

~ Menopause Masterclass by Kath Berry – June 2024

~ Fertility Treatment and Planning with Zita West – November 2023

~ Facial Cupping & Gua Sha for Neuromuscular Facial Conditions with Michelle Gellis – October 2023

What I Do

At your initial consultation I will take a detailed case history from you, take your pulses and examine your tongue. This information will enable me to formulate a TCM diagnosis and treatment plan. Your bespoke treatment plan will focus on improving your health issues and overall feelings of wellbeing. Your progress will be reviewed at each appointment and your treatment plan adjusted accordingly.

I can also offer lifestyle advice based on the principles of Chinese medicine, which can easily be implemented into your daily life.
