ABOUT US
Welcome to Edgware Acupuncture
​
We offer equally high quality Acupuncture and Alexander Technique given by our practitioner Rosalie Segal in a calm, quiet relaxing clinic that is totally focused on enabling you to maximise your health and well-being.
Rosalie Segal graduated with first class honours in Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture from Westminster University in 2008 and was awarded the Nutri Centre Prize for ‘best overall performance’ for the last two years consecutively of her degree course.​
​
She was also privileged to undertake her Alexander Technique training with renowned first generation teachers Walter Carrington (who took over FM Alexander;s training course) and his wife Dylis Carrington at the Constructive Teaching Centre and has been in practice now for over 30 years.
Women's Health
​
Rosalie has a special interest in womens' health (including pregnancy, infertility and gynecological issues) and has completed extensive post-graduate Chinese Medicine training in this field including an obstetrics and gynaecology diploma with Dr Trevor Wing (where she is an associate practitioner). Rosalie is on the steering of the Acupuncture Childbith Team London (ACT), a dedicated group of acupuncture practitioners working in London committed to supporting women's experience through all stages of conception, pregnancy, childbirth and postnatal.
She has undertaken Ilana Machover's intensive specialist training to teach Alexander Technique for pregnancy and birth, offering both individual sessions and classes for small groups.
​
Advanced Training
​
Rosalie has completed the requisite 150 hours (plus) training in Kiiko Matsumoto palpation style Acupuncture and is on their world-wide register of recognised practitioners.
She continues to upgrade her knowledge by attending further courses with Kiiko Matsumoto who shares her latest amazing discoveries and is acknowledged as a living master. Patients love the immediacy of feeling the effects of the Acupuncture treatment in real time which gives them the confidence to continue and progress with their healing.
Patients play an important and active role in the treatments by giving feedback on the reflexes that are active and the points that then release them.
​
Kiiko Matsumoto palpation style Acupuncture addresses both the root of the illness/condition (that can sometimes go back well into their family health history or early childhood) as well as treating the symptoms that are currently manifesting.
​

​
-

Rosalie has also previously undertaken the foundation and advanced Master Tung Acupuncture course with renowned American Tung Acupuncturist Susan Johnson and then further extensive Tung studies with Henry McCann (another very respected American Tung style Acupuncturist). This is another very effective method of treatment and can be a valuable addition or stand-alone treatment.
The other very powerful mode of treatment is Nogier style auriculotherapy which she has studied with Jim Chalmers. This can be used in conjunction with any other treatments and is especially valuable for IVF support, musc

Musicians
​
Due to her past experience as a professional musician (cellist and pianist), she specialises in working with musicians and performing artists. Having both Alexander Technique and Acupuncture to offer can allow a much more holistic approach depending on whether they want help with acute conditions (treated with Acupuncture) or more long-term management and improvements of how they are using their bodies (having Alexander Technique lessons).
