Elaine Sharkey
Ripples Acupuncture & Healing
Ripples was inspired by Elaine's 30 years of working in specialist support services, where she saw how one person’s growth and choices could create ripples that touched the lives of those around them.
Elaine spent many years exploring holistic approaches to health, particularly in the areas of emotional and mental wellbeing. Through this exploration, she became drawn to acupuncture as a practical, evidence-based way to support both physical and emotional well-being.
Her vision is to empower people, through acupuncture and holistic approaches, to reclaim their health and emotional well-being to create positive change — one ripple at a time
Elaine's Accreditations include:
-
a BSc (Hons) in Acupuncture from the Northern College of Acupuncture - a respected institution specialising in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
