This site offers information on my work as a qualified, BAcC acupuncturist with 12 years experience working in Edinburgh.  I have included case studies to illustrate how I work, how acupuncture works and how it could help you..

If you have and specific or detailed  questions you can contact me at  enquiries@rachaelforrest.com

Acupuncture has been used for arthritis, frozen shoulders, golf/ tennis and running injuries, sinus problems, weight loss, stress, insomnia and gynaecological issues.   There are many controlled studies that show the effectiveness of acupuncture, for example by using acupuncture and MRI scanning, even though there is still no definitive modern medical explanation of how it works. Many GPs are happy to refer their patients to a British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) trained acupuncturist for pain relief and other symptoms.

As well as 11 years experience in general acupuncture, I run a specialist clinic at Napiers Bristo Place for fertility www.thenaturalfertilitycentre.com), working alongside Spire Shawfair Park and the GCRM for patients undergoing IVF.

I also work with arthritis, sports injuries and pain management at Balanced Physiotherapy in Stockbridge (www.balancedphysio.co.uk).  

You will find specific case studies on fertility, IVF, pregnancy, PCOS, neck pain and the use of Abdominal Massage on the specialist clinic pages.  I also see many men for issues with sperm quality/quantity or low libido.

I look forward to meeting you and hope that I can be of help.
