Welcome

Acupuncture and Pilates with Elaine Slee

After working as a solicitor in central London for most of my career, I moved to Hayling Island, where I teach Pilates at 3 venues and practise acupuncture at The Hayling Clinic.

Details of my classes and the clinic can be found by clicking on the links above.

Like many people, I first turned to acupuncture out of desperation. I was so fed up of feeling ill all the time and, while Western medicine helped with acute symptoms, I wanted to get to the root of the problem.

I first had treatment to help with migraines. The beneficial effect it had impressed me so much that I left my successful legal career and retrained as an acupuncturist.

The training takes 3 years at degree level and includes studying Traditional Chinese Medicine as well as some aspects of Western medicine. I am also qualified in facial cosmetic and auricular (ear) acupuncture.

Also, I experienced back pain for many years before discovering Pilates. Practising Pilates has prevented me from requiring further spinal surgery and from suffering daily pain.

You can see that I have good reason to be enthusiastic about what I do!

Professional Standards

I am fully insured, a member of The Acupuncture Society and a member of The Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA), so you can be confident that I comply with the professional standards required of those bodies.
