The Fine Balance

Why Traditional Acupuncture?

Do you find yourself perplexed by the onset of headaches or perhaps the inability to achieve a restful night's sleep? Or are you currently grappling with chronic pain, with little to no relief in sight? In some instances, these symptoms may worsen over time, and mainstream medicine may only offer medication that comes with its own set of side effects. However, there is another way - Chinese Medicine.

At The Fine Balance Traditional Acupuncture & Yoga, we firmly believe that there is a reason behind every symptom. Our mission is to help you understand the root cause of your problems, enabling you to make informed lifestyle choices and prevent future symptoms. Anita or Jack, our highly qualified acupuncturists, may incorporate the use of moxa, guasha, cupping, and lifestyle advice into your acupuncture treatments. These methods work in harmony to aid healing and restore the natural balance within your body, as it strives to heal itself.

About Jack & Anita

Jack Tempest-Keeping BSc(Hons) Lic Ac and Anita Tempest-Keeping Ba(Hons) BSc(Hons) Lic Ac bring their unique perspectives and experiences to their acupuncture practice.

Jack was born in Bristol and was exposed to Chinese medicine and alternative worldviews from a young age, thanks to his father, an acupuncturist. His personal experiences and belief in the interconnectedness of health factors have driven him to explore and learn more about Eastern knowledge. Jack has studied Taijiwuxigong (Qi Gong) and has completed additional training for a diploma specialising in Obstetrics, Gynaecology, and Fertility.

Anita, a Bristol native as well, grew up with a similarly open-minded perspective on health and well-being. She has a background in both acupuncture and yoga, having discovered her passion for these practices at an early age. Anita has studied in Thailand and has been significantly influenced by her experiences in eco-systems and conservation work.

Both Jack and Anita chose to study acupuncture in Reading at the College of Integrative Chinese Medicine, where they graduated with a full Licentiate in Acupuncture and BSc(Hons) degrees. They are committed to sharing the powerful benefits of traditional acupuncture and helping their clients find their own fine balance.
