Medical Acupuncture & Lifestyle Medicine
Here at Acu-Lifestyle, my aim is to provide patients with an alternative or adjunct treatment to conventional medicine through practicing acupuncture and educating on the benefits of a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
Dr. Ruzeen Hettiarachchi
MBChB, MRCGP, dipISLM/BSLM, BMAS
As an NHS doctor for over 19 years and a GP for the past decade, I bring a strong medical foundation to my acupuncture and lifestyle medicine practice. Trained in Western Medical Acupuncture and Lifestyle Medicine, I offer an evidence-based, holistic approach that supports patients in managing their symptoms, improving wellbeing and reducing the risk of lifestyle-related illness.
My approach combines back ground medical knowledge with a modern, science-based adaptation of traditional acupuncture. Through stimulating nerves in muscles and connective tissue with very fine needles, Western Medical Acupuncture (WMA) reduces pain signals, triggers release of natural pain-relieving chemicals, improves blood flow and relaxes tight muscles. It can therefore be very helpful in managing conditions such as: Osteoarthritis, back pain, migraines, headaches, tennis elbow, shoulder pain and many more.
I also treat many Women’s Health issues, as acupuncture can help regulate female hormones and pain modulation. It can be a helpful adjunct in managing conditions such as: endometriosis, period pain, menopausal flushes and fertility. I am also trained to treat women in pregnancy.

Acupuncture Treatment
Each session lasts approximately 60 minutes and begins with a thorough initial assessment, allowing a personalised treatment plan to be created based on your individual needs. Very fine, single-use acupuncture needles are used, with typically 6–20 needles placed at specific points on the body depending on the condition being treated.
-
Electro-Acupuncture
Where appropriate, electro-acupuncture may be used to enhance the effects of traditional acupuncture. This technique applies a gentle electrical stimulation through the needles and can be particularly beneficial for certain conditions.

Lifestyle Medicine Consultation
Lifestyle Medicine focuses on helping patients prevent, manage and improve chronic health conditions through sustainable lifestyle changes. Consultations aim to empower you with practical, evidence-based guidance to support your long-term health and wellbeing.

— Mrs AK, ChalfontI’m incredibly grateful for the care and support I received from Ruzeen. I initially saw her for fertility support, but her treatments helped me in so many other ways as well. Her calm, compassionate approach made a real difference during what can be a very emotional and stressful time. Through acupuncture and her holistic care, I felt more balanced, supported, and hopeful throughout the process. I truly appreciate her expertise, kindness, and dedication, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Ruzeen to anyone seeking support for fertility or other health concerns.
