About Claire Mindham

I am an acupuncturist and yoga teacher who has served the Oxted area for over 25 years.
 

I believe good health is achieved with a whole-person – or holistic approach. True well-being occurs when your mental, physical, and spiritual elements work together in harmony.

 

I am drawn to acupuncture and yoga precisely because they both work holistically for my patients and students.

Acupuncturist

In 1993 after a long period of poor health I tried acupuncture and I responded remarkably well to treatment. I wanted to know more, which lead to five years at university starting with a BSc(Hons) in Traditional Chinese Medicine, an internship in China and then two years of postgraduate studies in Chinese Herbal Medicine. 

I have continued my professional development with additional courses in specialist acupuncture techniques and complementary skills including Face Revitalisation Acupuncture, (otherwise known as facelift without surgery)!

I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council.

Claire Mindham Yoga For Everyone

Yoga Teacher

 

In 2012, I completed 500 hours of British Wheel of Yoga Teacher Training and have been teaching yoga ever since. The synergies of yoga align with the belief in treating the whole person resonates with me. Yoga is wonderfully calming and is 'whole person' exercise for body, mind and soul.

 

Anyone can learn yoga, and my classes are specifically non-judgemental for people of all abilities, fitness levels and ages. We don't take ourselves too seriously, and we certainly feel better afterwards!

Professional Membership: The British Wheel of Yoga.

Professional Qualification: BWY Yoga Teacher.

Additional Skills

 

My interest in natural medicine and  human anatomy began in late 70’s with a course in Swedish Massage. It is a skill I have never lost and still use in my treatments.

 

I am a curious person and have, over many years, put myself through additional training in therapies that are synergistic with acupuncture, meditation and yoga.

 

  • Swedish Massage

  • Mehta Face Massage

  • Reiki (I am a Reiki Master)

  • EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)

  • Meditation Teacher Trainer Certificate

I value kindness in my fellow human beings and find joy in nature. I consider my work in the fields of acupuncture and yoga to be a honour and hope I have the opportunity to share my learnings and skills with you.
