Why patients choose Lora
Lora treats the underlying cause of a condition, not just the symptom, in an approach she calls transformative healing rather than symptom management.
With over 20 years of clinical experience, Lora specialises in fertility, hormonal health and menopause, building on her background in general acupuncture practice at leading London clinics.
Lora holds a BSc (Hons) in TCM Acupuncture from the University of Westminster, is a member of the British Acupuncture Council (MBAcC) and has completed postgraduate training in fertility, obstetrics and functional medicine.
Lora combines acupuncture with complementary therapies, including reflexology, massage and tuina, to address individual needs and support overall wellbeing.

Patient stories
I highly recommend lovely Lora. She is brilliant, knowledgable, experienced, warm, and thoughtful. The best acupuncturist in town!

Next up, an audience with the acupuncturist Lora Macfarlane. I've seen my fair share of well known needlers over the years, but Lora was unlike any other. Data driven and almost scientific in her approach, she incorporates low level light laser therapy and reflexology into her work, and has a razor sharp understanding of the human body. I lie on a PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) mat, designed to reduce inflammation and boost blood flow, and Lora inserts her slender needles swiftly and painlessly, targeting points to support the immune system and calm anxiety. Finally, my mind stops racing.

Empathetic, kind, professional, and with amazing energy to be around. Lora's truly holistic approach to treatments for physical or emotional needs is transformative. I could go on and on saying wonderful things about her but one appointment with her and you’ll see for yourself

I have been seeing Lora for quite a while now. Her treatments have helped me greatly, and I find that she’s very good in adapting the treatment to the specific symptoms experienced in the week(s) before the session. She is also amazing at facial acupuncture, which I feel has shown visible results when it comes to my general skin condition as well as its antiaging properties. She’s also just a lovely person, so I would highly recommend.

I was highly recommended to come and see Lora as time was ticking being 41. I had a miscarriage in the February but generally had good fertility from previous tests the year before, regular periods but wanted to do everything I could to give myself a chance to be a Mum. My first session was in April and I thought she was amazing her knowledge, her experience and her honesty! We had a few sessions and I was pregnant the following month!
