Pauline Ronson Acupuncturist

I began my career in complementary medicine by studying classical acupuncture in the late 1970s at the London Academy of Acupuncture. From there my interests led me to study auricular acupuncture in Bristol with the Society of Auricular Acupuncturists in 1981. In 2001 I went to Beijing in China to further study Traditional Chinese Acupuncture at the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine. My studies have also included the Addictive Behaviour Certification course with the University of Kent and I have completed a Counselling Skills course with the AQA organisation. I have been passionate about acupuncture for over thirty three years now and have worked in my own successful private practice during this time. I was based in North West Kent for over 22 years and then moved to Wokingham in Berkshire eleven years ago. I was Secretary for the Society of Auricular Acupuncturists for over 20 years and began teaching auricular acupuncture during this time. I was responsible for designing all of the Society’s training programmes in Auricular Acupuncture. Although I retired from the post in 2008 I still lecture Auricular Acupuncture for the Society from time to time. I have had the privilege of writing a handbook entitled ‘Understanding Auricular Acupuncture, which was published in January 2007 by First Stone Publishing. The book gives the public a perfect introduction to this fascinating complementary therapy. Buy my Book I have been the Treasurer of the Microsystems Acupuncture Regulatory Working Group which gained Voluntary Self Regulation in 2012. The Group is funded by the Princes Foundation Trust.
