Hi, I’m Carla.

I’m a GDC-registered dental professional with over eight years of clinical experience. I completed my acupuncture training through the British Dental Acupuncture Society (BDAS) and am a member of the British Medical Acupuncture Society (BMAS). I have also completed additional training in clinical myofascial release, including intraoral techniques for working on the muscles inside the mouth and around the jaw.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked closely alongside dentists caring for patients with jaw disorders, facial pain and complex restorative needs. This has given me a valuable understanding of the relationship between the teeth, jaw muscles, bite and surrounding structures. I continue to collaborate with and learn from experienced dental clinicians and physiotherapists, keeping my approach evidence-informed and complementary to conventional dental care.

My passion is helping people find relief from pain. Every patient is different, so I take the time to understand your symptoms, the factors that may be contributing to them, and how they affect your daily life. Together, we develop a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs and goals.

Alongside medical acupuncture, I incorporate clinical myofascial release to address muscular tension and restricted movement, with a particular focus on the head, jaw, neck and shoulders. Treatments may include external facial techniques and intraoral work, a hands-on approach to the muscles inside the mouth that can be difficult to access externally. Each technique is explained beforehand and used with your consent, according to your needs and comfort.

Combining acupuncture with targeted manual therapy allows me to tailor treatment using different approaches, while supporting self-management and working alongside other healthcare professionals where appropriate.

I believe healthcare should be honest, personalised and collaborative. My aim is to help you feel more comfortable, improve movement and function, and support lasting progress.

Alongside my clinical work, I’m also studying Clinical Nutrition, allowing me to take a broader view of health and recovery. While acupuncture and manual myofascial release remain the focus of my practice, understanding the role of nutrition enables me to provide more holistic, evidence-informed care when it may benefit your overall wellbeing.

I look forward to welcoming you to the clinic.
