The Gilbert Clinic

The Gilbert Clinic, situated in the heart of Guildford, has been providing effective and lasting relief through Acupuncture and Craniosacral therapy for over three decades. Our primary goal is to help you achieve the results you desire in the shortest possible timeframe. We accomplish this by dedicating time to understanding your issues, examining your lifestyle, diet, and emotions as potential causes of health problems.

She employs Kinesiology and Bach Flower Remedies in her work, treating each client as a unique individual and aiming to empower and guide them towards better health.

Our Treatments

At The Gilbert Clinic, we specialise in various treatments, including:
