Hi, I’m Mandy
A Five-Element Acupuncturist, mentor and mindfulness teacher based in Mold, North Wales, not far from Chester & Wrexham.
Here to help you find inner calm
No matter where you are on your journey to health, well-being, or career success, I'm here to help.
In the early 1990's, I gave up my stressful job as a Bank of America HR Project Manager to become an acupuncturist. I knew in my heart that I was meant for something else.
I’d struggled with anxiety and depression in my 20’s and felt lonely and insecure. Five-Element Acupuncture brought me back ‘home’.
The more comfortable I felt on the inside, the more clear and connected I felt.
Now, 15 years on, I offer 3 different services…
How I can support you to thrive in your life
Acupuncture
Whether you're seeking relief from stress, or anxiety, or simply looking to improve your overall health and wellbeing, Five-Element Acupuncture may be just what you need.
Mindfulness
Let's embark on a journey of self-discovery through the practice of mindfulness. Take a moment to breathe deeply and clear your mind, and join me on this path of mental and emotional wellness.
Mentoring
If you are looking to enhance your skills and knowledge or embark on a new journey, I’m here to support you in achieving your aspirations through the impactful guidance of mentoring.
My story
My mission and passion is to help as many people as possible eliminate needless struggles and instead to feel centred and resilient. I would like to support you in developing a renewed sense of freedom in your life.
Over the years, I’ve treated hundreds of people and worked with world-renowned Acupuncturists. I’ve travelled around the world to develop my skills, collecting golden nuggets of wisdom and experience from the best sources to incorporate them into my own practice.
I hold two Mentor qualifications. I just love learning new things and I’m really interested in personal development. I feel passionate about living life to the full and helping others do the same, and have seen the value of having a coach and mentors myself.
A daily Meditation practice has been hugely beneficial to me over the years. Having discovered for myself how healthy a calm, focused mind can be, in 2023 I also trained to become a Mindfulness Teacher.
This website has been created to offer the opportunity for you to discover how different your life could be. What you would do with a renewed sense of self, energy, and focus?

When I’m not working…

I live in the historical city of Chester, England with my husband. We seem to have become experts in caring for rescue animals. I also work on a volunteer basis for The Children’s Society and I am fortunate to befriend a young person who is currently being fostered. She inspires me every time I see her with her resolve and determination.
My dream is to live in the countryside, ideally in north Wales, which is a part of the countryside that I love. I believe movement and nature connectedness has such huge benefits to our overall well-being and I think it’s incredibly important we work with nature whilst also valuing its importance. Because of this, each time someone works with me I make a donation to a charity that’s doing incredibly important work, One Tree Planted.
