London’s most in-demand acupuncturists

The former stuntman turned acupuncturist Johnny Childs trained at the Acupuncture Academy in Leamington Spa. He went on to apprentice under Gerad Kite, founder of Kite Clinic and one of the leading practitioners in five element acupuncture in Britain.

Five element acupuncture seeks to balance five core elements — wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Each element is linked to a different organ, emotion and season. Childs’s expertise covers everything from back and neck pain to IVF and pregnancy, sleep problems and insomnia, and even chemotherapy support.

His sessions are highly personalised. He seems able to detect even the smallest shifts in energy, mood and language, all of which help him to identify the best approach for an individual. Every needle placement is considered and the consultation is deeply personal. He practises out of Liberty London and the Kite Clinic on Wimpole Street, which feels closer to a private member’s club than a medical practice.
