Michelle Jahina
Five Element Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine accessible from Ruddington, West Bridgford, Plumtree, Keyworth, Cotgrave, Radcliffe on Trent, Cropwell Bishop, Bunny and Nottingham.
I treat a wide range of conditions to help you and your body feel your best.
You will be supported in my practice with skills and extensive experience gained over several years. I take a whole-body holistic approach, identifying the root cause of disharmony in the body or mind. I explore a range of physical, mental, and emotional health factors to enable you the best healing outcome.
Acupuncture is a holistic therapy that focuses on the whole person, aiming to stimulate the body’s own ability to heal and therefore restore balance physically and mentally. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, good health is dependent on Qi or vital energy moving through the body along lines called meridians. I work with all these meridians removing blocks to restore balance and good health.
I have a special interest in Fertility, Obstetrics and Gynaecology to provide much more detailed support to both men and women in this area.
About
Michelle Jahina
Lic.Ac, DipObsGyn, MSc, BSc (HONS), M.B.Ac.C, FEA
My name is Michelle and I am a fully qualified Five Elements acupuncturist and facial enhancement acupuncturist working from a quiet and relaxing clinic in Ruddington, Nottinghamshire, situated close to West Bridgford, Keyworth, Plumtree, Cotgrave, Cropwell Bishop, Radcliffe of Trent, and Nottingham City Centre.
After finding out in my early 20’s I have severe endometriosis and had to undergo surgery treatment and later finding I had fertility issues, I turned to Eastern medicine as an alternative to help me. I researched lifestyle, exercise, nutrition, supplements as well as acupuncture. I was so taken by acupuncture and how it help me both my outlook on having children, relaxing my nervous system, and helping me feel calm in what was an emotional roller-coaster I chose to retrain as an acupuncturist.
In my free time I enjoy meditation, swimming, cycling, and walking in nature with my Labrador.
In 2026 I won a prestigious award, Prestige Awards Central England 2025/2026, shortlisted and chosen from hundreds of participants across the UK.
Training & Qualifications
I trained at The Acupuncture Academy in Lemington Spa and hold a Professional Licentiate in Acupuncture, which is a three-year degree level qualification accredited by the British Acupuncture Accreditation Board. My training was comprehensive and covered all aspects of Chinese medical and acupuncture theory, anatomy, biomedicine, and clinical skills. The training had a focus on Five Element Acupuncture which means that I treat the person as a whole at mind, body, spirit level in preference to focusing on symptoms alone.
Alongside my Lic.Ac, I have post-graduate and further training in:
- Diploma in Gynaecology, Fertility, and Obstetrics with The Institute of Chinese Medicine
- Certificate in Fertility Nutrition (approved by BDA – British Dietetic Association)
- Enhancement Acupuncture with Paul Adkin
- Matrix Reimprinting and Emotional Freedom Technique EFT for trauma, anxiety, panic attacks and phobias with Karl Dawson.
- Diploma in Baby Massage
- Member of the Acupuncture Fertility Network (AFN)
- Member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC)
I hold full medical malpractice and public liability insurance cover, and I am licensed with Nottinghamshire County Council.
As a member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC), I adhere to the Council’s Codes of Safe Practice and Professional conduct. British Acupuncture Council members are also registered with the Professional Standards Authority which is a government body set up to regulate health and social care providers and is accountable to Parliament.
I would highly recommend Michelle. I have seen other Acupuncturists before and they have nothing like the knowledge she does. She is so very helpful and offers great advice and guidance. I would never use anyone else again.

Women’s and Men’s Fertility
I am passionate about treating men’s and women’s health, having had fertility issues and endometriosis since I was 21 years old, this is a keen area of interest for me. I treat all aspects of women’s health ranging from IVF, pregnancy, PCOS, amenorrhoea, dysmenorrhea, PMS, endometriosis and more. I also treat male infertility to support men to improve their sperm count, motility, mobility and morphology.
Facial Enhancement Acupuncture (FEA)
Also known as facial rejuvenation acupuncture, this is a natural way of reducing the signs of ageing. FEA stimulates blood flow and Qi energy in the facial and neck areas encouraging the production of collagen and elastin to boost skin cell rejuvenation.
Auricular Acupuncture
Auricular or ear acupuncture is a therapeutic self-regulating homeostatic mechanism of the whole body. Auricular acupuncture can be used as a standalone treatment or used alongside body points to enhance the overall healing. Auricular acupuncture treatments are used in the following areas:
- Cessation of smoking
- Weight loss and overeating
- Insomnia
- Drug and alcohol addiction
Michelle is such a professional. After discussing my back problem with me and taking a full history, she made me feel comfortable and confident by explaining a treatment plan. Any nerves I had about the treatment soon disappeared as she explained how acupuncture would alleviate my back pain and symptoms of sciatica. The treatment was effective as I had hoped and started to give relief after the first session. Thoroughly recommended.
