HELLO

My name is Bea, and I’m the practitioner behind Shen & Soma.

About Bea

I’m a fully licensed and insured acupuncturist based in Lewes, Sussex. I offer a calm, nurturing space where you can receive support for a wide range of health concerns, including physical pain, digestive issues, stress, anxiety, sleep challenges, fertility support and more. 

My practice is rooted in the time-honoured tradition of acupuncture, which uses ultra-fine needles placed at specific points on the body to restore balance and promote both physical and emotional wellbeing. Acupuncture draws on the wisdom of nature to understand the body’s complex systems and the root causes of dis-ease.

  • I hold a BHSc Hons and Licentiate, having completed three and a half years of study at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine. With a background in acupressure from the European School of Shiatsu, I integrate Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with Five Element acupuncture to create personalised treatments. My treatments may also include therapeutic techniques such as shiatsu, acupressure, cupping, moxibustion, and gua sha.

  • My practice is a safe, inclusive space where you can joyfully reconnect with your body, experience deep, restorative rest, and heal. I welcome people from all walks of life with diverse needs. My goal is to gently guide you toward improved health, balance, and self-awareness through compassionate, mindful care that honours your individuality— helping you to feel more like you again.

  • If you would like to find out more about how acupuncture can help you, please get in touch! I’d be happy to talk through your needs and answer any questions.
