Nagma has experience treating patients from various specialistic clinics such as children, women’s health and sports clinic.

She believes firmly in educating and empowering people by giving them advice on exercise and lifestyle changes to encourage patients’ active recovery.

James Booth MAcS
Having learnt the basics of Japanese acupuncture practice in Tokyo in the late 1980’s James returned to London to do a full-time course. His current acupuncture practice is based on the work of Kiiko Matsumoto Sensei, whereby diagnosis is largely carried out by palpation of the abdomen, chest and neck, and this leads directly to treatment. Patients are quickly able to feel changes and therefore that the treatment is working. As is typical of Japanese acupuncture, very fine needles are used, along with a variety of other treatment techniques such as moxibustion, ‘Tiger Warmer’ and magnets, so that both the root and symptomatic presentation of symptoms are addressed. James trained and worked with Andy Harrop at Dulwich Acupuncture from 2001, joining The Vale Practice in 2022 when Dulwich Acupuncture closed.
