My journey as a Therapist

My name is Lina Doyle and my therapist journey started in 2004 when I qualified as a soft tissue massage therapist. Ever since I was little, I was interested in massages and would be the first to offer if my family ever needed one. My thirst for knowledge stuck with me and I decided to study Chinese medicine in order to help expand my understanding of the body and how to help it.

In 2010 I completed my degree in Acupuncture from Kingston University and I am a member of the Association of Acupuncture Clinicians (MAAC).

In 2011 I became a resident acupuncturist on board Royal Caribbean cruises where I helped thousands of people over the course of 3 years. Having only one to two weeks with my patients meant that I had to produce results from the first treatment. Moreover I had to show my patients what acupuncture can achieve in a short space of time. This really changed the way I practice and my approach to treatments, and I continue this ethos in my practice today.

I specialise in pain management, musculoskeletal and neurological conditions. I offer bespoke treatments to improve your mind, body and spirit. Using a multifaceted approach I combine Acupuncture, Massage, Cupping, Gua Sha and Emmett technique to achieve fast effective results from your first treatment.

Since returning to land I have attended multiple post grad courses in the UK and abroad in different styles of acupuncture including the famous Dr Richard Tan Balance Method Acupuncture, Master Tung acupuncture, Zhu Scalp acupuncture,Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture, Fertility acupuncture and Facial Rejuvenation acupunctureAssociation of Acupuncture Clinicians

Testimonials

Lina treated me and within first acupuncture session I felt a massive relieve in pain and head pressure.

Lina is an amazing therapist and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a holistic way of treating any health concerns. I came to her with neck and shoulder pains and major sleep issues and headaches. All those symptoms have made me feel tired and offected my every day life. I am sleeping much better and feeling much more like myself. Big thank you Lina.

Thanks Lina great acupuncture and massage.

I had another session with her this week, which has definitely shifted my health issues.

I’m a long time user of acupuncture as a treatment and know the benefits, and haven’t really had any for a couple of years. So it was good to be treated as a whole person rather than the one symptom in isolation. We did start with her working on my hands as my arthritis had flared up, and then looked at what else was going on…of course its all linked! As an NLP fan I know ‘mind and body work as one system’

I love Lina’s no nonsense and yet gentle approach to treatment, very relaxed and friendly. The holistic approach means some massage on my upper back and shoulder complimented the acupuncture perfectly.

And finally the big win for me is the coming to your own home…it was always the worst bit in the past about having treatment that completely exhausted me and I wanted to sleep, I had to get home. Now feeling tired after treatment, its off for a lie down. So convenient

And Value for money too.

Great service Lina that I’m really happy to recommend to others. Thanks and see you soon

The best acupuncture and massage session I had in my life! (And I had many all over the world)

I was suffering from daily migraines, which was affecting my work, health and personal life. With each session the migraines started to reduce, and I’m finally migraine free and living my life normally again. I’m very thankful for these sessions.

The acupuncture to my legs and hands miraculously made the neck more mobile.

I have had several very beneficial treatments from Lina combining massage and acupuncture, perfect for my recurrent lower back and shoulder pain. But what prompted me to post a review was how she came to my aid at short notice after I had a fall which left me with a whiplash type injury to my neck and the other shoulder. Through massage she made the whole area freer and so much more comfortable that I could even get back to playing sport. Thanks Lina!

The mobility of my foot improved & the pain decreased massively.

After fracturing my foot only 2 weeks ago, I saw Lina for acupuncture.

I am now able to weight bear much better & have noticed a huge difference after just one session.

Being a therapist myself, I’m very apprehensive as to who treats me.

But I fully recommend Lina & cannot wait for my next treatment to help get me back on track with my Mount Everest training! X
